A Modest Lede Proposal

Gamergate Controversy
Gamergate is a movement about ethics in games journalism. It has been called a controversy akin to Watergate in magnitude and importance. Gamers worldwide are outraged about the lack of ethics displayed by games journalists at terrible sites like Kotaku (winner of the 2015 Kunkel Award for Excellence in News Reporting from the Society of Professional Journalists). While some feminists and other biased leftists are angry about the mean words said by some people who are not gamers, they have forgotten that it's just the internet, those things happen here, and the threats were not credible because they're still breathing.

Gamergate is not about Zoe Quinn or Anita Sarkeesian. Multiple completely trustworthy websites, such as Breitbart and The Daily Stormer, have released statements decrying these people and aligning themselves with the pro-ethics movement of Gamergate, a great reminder that Gamergate is not about Zoe Quinn or Anita Sarkeesian.
