But for people who are full blown into these movement: Not really (other than GamerGate). The people who operate in these movements do not do well with properly moderated forums. They need somewhere like reddit where you can sit around for half a year doxing people, then just make a new account 10 seconds after you get banned.

The forums they do best in are ones where it's fine to say women shouldn't be able to vote because they're stupid and irrational, but when a woman gets upset/emotional and calls them a "shithead" or worse a "misogynist", the woman gets banned.

Crain already said reddit :haw:

Most of reddit doesn't moderate like that, though. You won't get banned from the subreddit, "just" dogpiled. Your voice will be downvoted heavily but still findable by others. On the other hand there are places where you can't participate at all or argue back against their ideas without implicitly legitimizing them as something polite society should respect and banter pleasantly about.
