Also - 200 trolls have been outed. That's the number. That's how many accounts it'd take to drive a hoax.
We've got those numbers.
The way I see it all this hoax did was
empower them:
Social Justice Warriors had reached a level of obnoxiousness and arrogance about their own power that they were
no longer moderating their beliefs, and were freely-speaking every toxic, abhorrent idea they held, believing themselves about criticism.
As such, the majority of people could read an article or tweet, and think "This person is fucking crazy," and, by extension, anything they believe is tainted with the suspicion of insanity.
This is why I've been saying I believe this is last-wave feminism, because everything is out in the open, and they're no longer pretending it's about 'equality', but an elite, educated ruling class lording over the uneducated, unwashed masses. They're damaged enough that they're their own worst advertisement for their ideology. All we have to do is sit back and let them run their mouths off, horrifying moderate thinkers and pushing them away from feminism due to how the nature of groupthink polarises opinions to extremes.
Now 4Chan his empowered them by giving them the gift of
plausible-deniability.
The suspicion that any extreme-viewpoint is just a troll in disguise now gives a moderate reader a mental excuse not to dismiss all SJW's off-hand. "Oh, this can't be real. This must be a troll. Feminists just believe in that women are human beings."
This also puts power back in the hands of White Feminists, by throwing suspicion on any SJW activity by Women Of Colour. Remember, WoC were threatening to claim power from white girls last year by their own rules of privilege with #solidarityisforwhitewomen, and this would have created a big division within their ranks. Now, white girls can dismiss these complaints by stating that these women are trolls, and keep controlling the discourse. Indeed, any Woman Of Colour reading this should wonder if this was simply a false flag operation for white girls to silence the voices of sisters.
It's no kind of win, and a waste of time. They will sink themselves. You just have to accept the society needs to bottom out first to create lasting reaction. This is why I could care less about the current Tranny Rights thing being in Vogue. Pull back the curtain! Let everyone interact with them! It's the only way moderates are going to realise that, hey, they're not like you and me at all: they're mentally-damaged.
