Chat logs show how 4chan users created #GamerGate controversy

(Ars): http://arstechnica.com/gaming/2014/09/new-chat-logs-show-how-4chan-users-pushed-gamergate-into-the-national-spotlight/

    A set of IRC logs released Saturday appear to show that a handful of
    4chan users were ultimately behind #GamerGate, the supposedly
    grass-roots movement aimed at exposing ethical lapses in gaming
    journalism. The logs show a small group of users orchestrating a
    "hashtag campaign" to perpetuate misogynistic attacks by wrapping them
    in a debate about ethics in gaming journalism.
