There is the possibility of conflating between members who are hateful trolls vs members who are honestly critical, and there is the possibility of any given movement being legitimately defined by hatefulness, by sheer membership and public expression alone. It's hard to draw a line between those two things, but I think, personally, based on tons of experience in the places Gamergaters were most prevalent, that Gamergate lay on the hateful side of that imaginary line, and in fact was not even particularly close to the line.
