Oh dear, you need to learn about the GamerGate incident which started August 2012. All the extreme division and online manipulation through the collaborative creation of false narratives started right there, with that issue, before contaminating the entire political landscape.

It's the Eternal September of our generation, and it's not recognised enough as such. Before that, the internet was a different place.
