As far as I'm aware, nobody got physically hurt from Gamergate, ie. ignoring casual hate would have completely removed its impact. Though you could argue that that was impossible. Do you have evidence for your claim that ignoring casual hate caused either of those things? My baseless theory is that suppressing and excluding these people from the mainstream is what riled them up in the first place; it certainly didn't feel like they were being ignored even after that. But I am open to contradicting evidence.
