because it sounds stupid when everyone names stuff after watergate

putting "gate" in front of a word doesn't make it sound official or like a big deal

it just makes you look stupid, or a ludicrous trendsetter

The gate in gamergate causes appealing alliteration and also refers to another very recognizable controversy.
Movements caused by gamergate generally keep the -gate suffix so that they are easily recognizable.

Deflategate rhymes and refers to another very recognizable controversy.

etc. It has to do with the English language and ability to easily spread.

I was having a twitter conversation with some GGers but then Twitter decided to go full handicap and lock my account for no reason. And now, even if I unlock my account, if I try to reply to them, even if it's with something entirely different, my account gets blocked.

I loving hate twitter with a passion.

Actually it turns out there was a glitch. I assume you got the automated bot message the same as these other people?

Edit: If so, you're a moron. The world's not against you because you're a loving gamergater. Grow up.
