So here's the setup. Voat posts a lot of stuff which is anti-SJW, anti-Clinton, and which suggests that some mainstream feminists have their values inside out. Some of the posts are on the mark. Perhaps on the mark enough to make establishment's SJWs feel uncomfortable. Where maybe they were originally content to allow the critics to have Voat as a place to play, are now looking for ways to stifle the message. So enter SheGate, a high-profile affair which has easily become overblown (the posting restrictions which have been triggered means that she can't always argue in her own defense) and malicious. That way, it's easy for the establishment to say, "haha, don't mind them, Voat is just a bunch of irrational misogynists" when it becomes convenient to brush off something that Voat says. So I'm suggesting that the drama might have been intentionally stoked from the outside in order to create the effect.
P.S. I'm still not completely convinced that @She is a SJW and that the brigade isn't - being pro-self and protesting being brigaded doesn't mean you're a SJW, and neither does being a girl who talks about women's issues. It just means you're normal.

It's more likely that bigots and other wackjobs feeling burned that they are getting pushed off social media congregate on sites that tolerate them. Sjws are a vehicle that corporate interests have been using to stifle expression that runs counter to their interests. Soon voat will fall victim to the same thing that got MySpace, Facebook, Wired, Slashdot, Digg, fark, and Reddit....its called Money.
