I meant as part of creating and fostering gamergate. The GG subreddit was pretty big. And talking about Trump, /r/TheDonald was pretty big and fairly influential, as far as subreddits go.

Im unfamiliar with gamergate. The internet says it was 4chan and other trolls. And like i said those subreddits were isolated in my viewpoint. /trump and all other conservative communities would commonly ban anyone with a different opinion than the hive mind. No room for discussion. /news was always posting stories of republicans being shitheads. And people wouldnt get banned for just having an opinion, theyd just get downvoted into oblivion.

Atleast this was all how i tailored my reddit feed when i used. I had no desire to see bullshit lies from republican news sites. So maybe my viewpoint was mostly democratic...

I didn't mean they represented a common sentiment or viewpoint, rather that Reddit was an important platform for them
