I think being anonymous has something to do with it, but I also think the spillover from that causes disgusting creations like MRA's or gamergate. Misogynistic men, who probably never thought that a hatred of women was in them-- just a mild contempt, reacting towards 'their' space being invaded, or 'their' roles being threatened. Unfortunately there are enough of them that they find each other. Then the lone trolls. At one time I would have thought that type more dangerous, but not any more.
