It’s definitely not at the level of GamerGate, which in turn was less important than the average games journalist suggests.
GamerGate was a huge battle in the culture wars. An entire generation of nerds was redpilled by the realization that:

And, of course, this lesson was readily generalizable to other fields, such as cinema, or politics.

To this date, the Wikipedia article on GamerGate starts with "Gamergate or GamerGate (GG) was a loosely organized misogynistic online harassment campaign motivated by a right-wing backlash against feminism, diversity, and progressivism in video game culture." Anybody who reads that sentence and remembers being there knows that Wikipedia is not to be trusted on political matters.
