I think the biggest mistake I made with GamerGate (and that was also made with Trump) was not taking the threat seriously enough.
I thought the whole thing was so ridiculous. Surely Not All Gamers thought like that anymore? This deserved no response other than scornful mockery.
Unfortunately it was more serious than I realised—I was just privileged enough not to be in the direct line of fire. GamerGate set a precedent for so much toxic fan behaviour (eg review bombing, doxxing, targeted hate campaigns on social media) it warranted a more drastic response.
