All I remember about GamerGate is, it inspired Hotweels to create 8chan. Which I thought was kinda weird, and I thought whatever, I guess it's cool that it created this cool new website. I didn't give a single fuck about GamerGate because I thought game reviews and SJWs were retarded.
But now I guess I gotta know what went down, because it managed to fuck up the entire planet. So can someone give me an explanation of what happened? Obviously Googling it is gonna give me heavily biased information so.....
I think what actually happened is that this was the first presidential election where social media was widespread enough and been around long enough to manipulate on a new massive level by political interests with billions of dollars and understanding of human psychology.
