Fandom isn't broken. Are there nutcases in fandoms for things? Yeah sure, that's life. Everyone from authors to musicians to film directors and video game designers have a few fans that take their love of the work too far. Only difference is that there's no authority or editor that can filter out the 'hatred' before it reaches the creator. As for GamerGate... it's not a 'terrorist hate group'. There are some extremists in it (and some extremists against it), but it's basically a revolt against what some see as a broken media, political correctness being forced on a community that didn't want it and favouritism among the gaming press. Kind of like the situation with Trump or Sanders or UKIP or the anti establishment political movements really.
