That's not an 'attempt to politicise', like I'm inserting politics into something that is apolitical. I'm not skewing something. It's a description of what the hashtag largely stands for, by any definitions you care to use. Read up on the Gamergate crap, none of this is exactly hidden. I trust you understand the usefulness in describing political leanings when they're intrinsic to it. Your 'debase' thing is a conclusion I don't follow; I don't know if that's a perceived slight on your end or a misunderstanding.
Given the ugliness surrounding the whole thing at the moment, I feel like sighing and rolling eyes is a little crass, but again as you said, you're not following the matter.
