    It's the culture around it. "Gamers" is a made up term that only came into existence more recently. Through marketing, it has become a culture around playing video games and being a dick to people online with it.

    Even before Gamergate, this behavior was prevalent with online gaming. I used to play Starcraft 2 online and there was just as much racial slurs and other bigotry spammed in the chats during 4v4 matches.
