If you thought there was no politics online in early 2010s, when there was an ongoing global economic recession following a massive financial crash, it's because you were living in a bubble and you were privileged enough to be unaffected.
I also remember a time when "privilege" was quarantined to a small part of the Internet and not part of the default mode of communication. I never said there was no politics online, it's just that you can very easily avoid it and it isn't everywhere. Even Gamergate itself was a minor phenomenon. Now it's become the default lens through which people understand games.
