A year later I was under way more cyber attacks than usual. I started noticing patterns and tracking it. GamerGate took over most of the conversation. Much of what I was watching wasn't being talked about at all.
None of it included how different it was in targeting WoC especially black women online. Any attention I tried to give to this missing component was met with simply ignoring it as a problem.
