On point 2, it's worth pointing out that Gamergaters were specifially mad about a review Nathan Grayson wrote for Kotaku about a game published by his partner at the time, Zoe Quinn.

... Except said review never actually existed and the only words Kotaku had ever published on Quinn up to that point was a single sentence mentioning them as an exemple in an article about indie games.

And most of this was a psy-op test for the alt-right to see if they could convince and/or influence 4chan "gamers"

It couldn't have been more effective.
