The closest thing to being pro gamergate was people saying Anita (a different person than the female reviewer) was lazy in how she built her evidence for feminist critiques of misogynist tropes in games. Like using princess peach for a damsel in distress trope when by the US mario 2, you can play as her.
No one at any point has defended the harrassment of women on this forum.
But we do have 3 or 4 liberals that are terrified of conservative dog whistling so maybe they assumed that calling specific women lazy as secret approval of harrassment.
