Nevermind the fact that harassment is endemic online, including in frequent surges on the twitter this guy helped build, we apparently still need to evoke the ghost of gamergate to add legitimacy to our causes.

The bottom line is that it's all pantomime. Twitter handed out short suspensions slowly in response to abuse. People would swap into alt accounts and happily resume. This is very common; Even Elon has an alt. I've seen dozens of "banned, pls rt, searching for moots" posts in my tiny friend circle alone.
