#GamerGate has remained more than a mere Twitter hashtag, presenting a lasting effect on (especially, perhaps, but not exclusively) gender politics in social media interactions. For Shaw and Chess, #GamerGate represents a constellation of website activities—across Tumblr, subredditts, radical free speech forums such as 4chan and 8chan4—although evidence has shown that this whole business was initially orchestrated by a small number of 4chan activists, according to Johnston writing for Ars Technica:

A set of IRC logs released Saturday appear to show that a handful of 4chan users were ultimately behind #GamerGate, the supposedly grass-roots movement aimed at exposing ethical lapses in gaming journalism. The logs show a small group of users orchestrating a “hashtag campaign” to perpetuate misogynistic attacks by wrapping them in a debate about ethics in gaming journalism.5
