Things therapy can help you do:
1. Gain insight into your problems, including what they are.
2. Provide some breathing room whilst you find either a solution, or how to come to terms with them.
Things therapy cannot do:
1. Solve the problem for you, especially if that's due to it being a structural society level problem.
2. _Make_ you a better person. It can facilitate your efforts but they must be your efforts.
So sending #GamerGaters to therapy? Bit of a non-starter.

Another one from PC Gamer. A voice actress finds herself driven off Twitter due to complaining about her voice being used without her permission.
These AI people will devour everything by every creative, turn it into unimaginative, humorless slurry and call it art.
Most importantly, the poisoning of LJ formed a template, for how to "[take] apart a minor but culturally influential community and develop techniques to do it again, more efficiently, more quickly, with less attention."
It's a template that has been perfected by the alt-right, by the #SadPuppies and the #Gamergaters and their successor movements. These trolls aren't motivated by the same profit-seeking sociopathy of the corporate person, but they are symbiotic with it.
