It was basically a trojan horse to introduce misogyny in gamers discourse. Read about "gamergate". You can also look up how it "inspired" Breitbart/Steve Bannon, and in turn, the "alt right" as a whole.
That's how you create a narrative. You find a reasonable and well known problem, build an argument with with mostly true ideas, then blame it all on some group that isn't your target audience. Carefully omit anything that doesn't fit the it.
I don't need to blame women for that Polygon Doom play footage or that Cuphead play footage.
