4chan and the larger gamergate movement took the racism that was still bubbling under the surface of america and sucked it up with a big novelty drink straw back into the forefront of polite society where now it’s socially acceptable to say you hate black people, oh I’m sorry “woke”, can’t say outright you hate black people jusssssssst yet ;)
