It’s well known now that gamergate and large parts of the “MRA” movement were organized specifically to radicalize young white men, as a test run that would eventually become the alt-right pipeline to radicalize even more people. Steve Bannon and his band of merry trolls were heavily involved.
So, yes, it really was sexist, racist, full of hate, and directly led to the alt-right movement online.
This information is not hard to find, if you cannot or do not wish to learn about the entire situation, which is much more complicated than could be boiled into a reply here, perhaps you are willfully doing so. please look it all up. There have been plenty of articles and even documentaries made about it through the years since. It is not my job to teach you about it, and I’m not qualified, nor do I have sources ready.
It is fair to say you simply don’t want to respond for any reason. But, it is malicious to attack me for asking the reasoning behind a claim you made. No matter what source I find, if I respond to it, that may not be the source you are citing. The plenty of sources, is what makes it impossible for me to respond to any individual claim based on them.
I’m not citing a source, I’m speaking generally. Search YouTube for a video called “how to fall down the anti-sjw rabbit hole” to get started, great video by a great YouTube creator called Three Arrows., but really it is not difficult.to find this sort of information. I am also speaking generally instead of specifically on purpose because my goal here was to leave a comment. Not to have a debate.
I’ve seen a fair number of those videos, like the Foreign Man in A Foreign Land video too, but those seemed to attack gamergate with a broad brush- the issue is edgy 4chan/kiwifarms/8chan or whatever users. That doesn’t mean the criticism of mainstream games sources weren’t valid, or criticism of Feminist Frequency weren’t valid.

Organized by who? And to what extent? Bannon exploiting something doesn’t mean he caused it.
