GamerGate is the opposite of proving that theory wrong. If anything they were given huge audiences and allowed to post with impunity.

People were doxxed and swatted and the GamerGate people said that if they really didn't want those things to happen to them then they should have just ignored all the rape threats and anti-trans comments they were spammed with instead of speaking up because then all those hundreds of trolls would have just stopped. They said that telling people that UserX was sayings super fucked up shit about them and that everyone should block them just gave UserX more power, as if that person wasn't googling their address and trying to get them murdered by police.

"Ignore the trolls" was the main wait that GG used to undermine the serious shit that people were doing. So yeah, no, GG did not prove that theory wrong.

Just look at how they reacted to the idea that ignoring them worked

They still were allowed to run around with impunity, posting things. That's not at all a failure to feed them, even if that was an excuse people used.
