Many observers have connected GamerGate to larger problems of misogyny in the tech industry of Silicon Valley.

Adrienne Massanari writes in New Media & Society that the architecture of Reddit in particular enables a "toxic technoculture" that encourages anti-feminist and misogynistic activism.

Aftermath
The women targeted by Gamergate have continued to be attacked in right-wing media and men's-rights websites, and have been forced to limit their public appearances and social-media activity.

Gamergate became a notable cultural component of the so-called alt-right in the 2016 American presidential election.

As of 2018, "Not only are Gamergate supporters still active, but its most visible advocates seem to be thriving in the age of President Trump."

"The methods deployed in this ground-zero Gamergate event have since become standard practice for internet mobs wishing to attack seemingly anyone they believe to be a foe."
