      I think it's a "gamer gate," judging by the two Gs and the keyhole. It's exactly the level of subtle metaphor as people who think "14" and "88" are clever secret codes. Like you'd think numerology would progress in the computer age, like deciding to use a checksum of a phrase like "we must secure a future for our shiny playthings and the rights of fragile manchildren to pretend people unlike them don't exist" (in md5 that's 'a8f4e7340af382b9ddfde9ec50b20e49', but I'm sure a more memeable version could be concocted), but instead they're just sitting counting words or treating letters like sequential digits or trying to represent a game controller as a literal fucking gate and then also putting their dipshit movement's initials on it in case the symbolism was too subtle.
