A set of IRC logs released Saturday appear to show that a handful of
4chan users were ultimately behind #GamerGate, the supposedly
grass-roots movement aimed at exposing ethical lapses in gaming
journalism. The logs show a small group of users orchestrating a
"hashtag campaign" to perpetuate misogynistic attacks by wrapping them
in a debate about ethics in gaming journalism.
