    Misgony.

    From a high level.

    • Woman creates a video game about her personal struggles with depression.
    • Got favorable reviews, some from notable game reviewers.
    • Ex-boyfriend of woman posts a blog post and releases cherry picked chat logs alleging notable reviewer gave her a positive review due to sexual favors/relationship between the woman and reviewer.
    • Notable reviewer never reviewed her game.
    • Toxic gamer boys got in a huff that a woman was promoted due to sexual favors. They cried "ethics in video game reviews" together.
    • Toxicness spreads to other women in the video game industry because of the misgony.
    • Gamergate being full of easily manipulated individuals that don't feel like they belong or are heard are now organized.
    • Group is infiltrated by people that have a malicious intent to incite and recruit for far right extremeist movements.

    The details are interesting, but in the end it's drama caused by frail male egos that led to a ton of misgony.
