GamerGate is a movement of gamers pushing for more ethics in game journalism, sparked by the anti-gamer articles of some news sites. It has often been dismissed or discredited because of trollsfactions supposedly in the group who are sending death threats and acting like the kind of person that validates being "culturally attacked".
Despite clearly not sharing the goals of the core members of the group, ignorant people tend to side with the media generalizing them all and demonizing them in the same way that many people where afraid of muslims after 911, rather than forming their own opinions on the group.
OT: Since its happening in Japan, the 3rd largest gaming industry, and US, the largest, clearly that shows that the call for ethics isn't being made for purely misogynistic, nationalistic, right wing extremist hiveminded and white male reasons.
