It was always going to go that way. There was always an incredibly reactionary majority. Gamergate just made a lot of people notice. The Chris Chan harrassment began well before gamergate and boxxy prior to those who remember, they doxxedd and harrased people regularly driving some to suicide. Gamergate made the reactionary elements known but Trump made it seem like a political orientation, it still isn't really because it's an incoherent hive by definition but anything not generally right is fully purged instead of being marginal to the point of not really mattering.
You're right of course, which is why I have difficulty squaring any of them as a political orientation, since the cohort being represented here is "single disaffected mostly white young men who like hentai and video games."

They want to the right to say slurs in call of duty lobbies, link people to shock sites, and get a giddy thrill out of telling someone to kill themselves. I feel like that isn't exactly a popular thing to organize around, which is probably why they had to expand to outright and overt reactionary politics.
