However those that insist that it is calling #notyourshield sock puppet. That isn't racist, it isn't sexist it's saying you're being used. Used by gamergaters as a shield in fact.

That's not what it means. Sockpuppeting is using a second account in order to pretend to be another person. So if that was his intent, Tim would be saying that the #notyourshield people are actually straight white guys pretending to be black, gay, female, etc., because no minorities could actually think that way.
