Everyone else seems to have covered all the important points, the scummy game journos and bad SJW writing at Kotaku, Gamergate, the Day Of Dead Gamers, JournoListPros, 5Guys, mass censorship from even 4chan...
So one final minor thing: The logo/banner has a red-haired girl in jeans with a purple and green shirt. She's Vivian James. She was created when 4chan saw a Feminist video game dev competition run by The Fine Young Capitalists (TFYC). TFYC were fundraising for a prize pool for the best games made by young women, featuring women, and they had patreon/kickstarter-style rewards. A very high reward was "make the winning dev include your own character in their game". 4chan's /v/ board asked in a hivemind if they could "pool" donations to reach that reward, and it was granted. But instead of trolling, or rather, the troll was meta, they made a legitimate character who was more or less unimpeachable: Vivian James ("Video Games" rhyme intentional). She has the Daily Dose meme as her shirt, the 4-chan and 8-chan symbols as hairpins, and a sunken black-eyed face from too many late nights playing games in poor lighting. Long sleeves, shapeless sweater, long pants, messy hair, about as unsexualized as you can get.
And she was included in that winning Feminist game. TFYC upheld their end of the bargain. Since then she's been a bit of an icon for the dead gamers. SJWs hate her, mostly because their common complaints of sexualization and objectification don't work well, but they certainly try anyways!
