Honestly, I am not shocked to see >>>/gamergate/ become hacked. It was inevitable that, with as many connected forces working to maintain control over national dialogue, the gg board would eventually undergo its own radicalization.

To be even more upfront, I have pretty much stayed out of the gg escapade. I casually learned about Zoe Quinn, understood the conspiratorial scheming, sporadically visited the board, looked over several collections sticked and read some outside sources, caught up on some of the twitter and gawker crap, and saw tripfags, ecelebs and its own unique, but yet not beckoning, culture. It's disgusting to me to witness extremely twisted marketing, the obvious mistreatment of a reader base, and blatant number fixing from periodicals whose existence was (theoretically, at least) founded upon unbiased video-gaming representation.

That being said, I don't know too much about the actual historicities of /gamergate/. It will be interesting to see the developments of the movement upon 8chan. At the very least, I suspect it will fracture and splinter into many cells, possibly radicalizing differences and creating specialized organizations, eventually spreading out each cells actual influence. Or, on the other hand, perhaps the movement will become more together, evolve into a stronger concern with re-union and solidarity over artificial celeb-culture. This much is just theorizing- again, I do not know much about the entire situation.
