Basically there was a series of corruption and collusion scandals in the video games press, and people wanted to talk about it (naturally). The whole thing would have blown over in a week but there was a massive counter attack by the press where they labeled all of their opponents as misogynists and tribals. Many games journalists dropped their spaghetti and revealed themselves as hacks that only got into their line of work to fight for social justice.
It lingers today as part of the general culture war, with pro-gamergate valuing individual rights and a level playing field (gamers after all), and anti-gamergate valuing collective well-being and representation (also called 'equity' or equality of outcome).
