I don't think this is the case at all. Gamergate was noisy and annoying at it's best on 4chan. However, there have been many bans for posts wildly outside of gamergate, that were on SJW talking points.

The reason gamergate was banned from 4chan is they kept posting pics of zoe and moot hanging out at conferences and bars and such.

Mods/janitors ruined /cgl/ (cosplay board) well before gamergate existed and it definitely had a (so-called, I dislike the term) "SJW" flavor.

Do you want /cgl/ to have more or less flaming? It's a very popular and active board and everyone is still pretty rude.
