With our recent string of cultural victories, I think it's fantastic that the term "GamerGate 2" is being used. Whereas we once decided not to defend the GG "brand" -- correctly deciding that doing so would distract from attacking theirs -- it's a very pleasant side effect that we have the chance to retroactively rehabilitate it. Looks like we were on the "right side of history" after all.

There is no Gamergate 2.0 and those saying that there is have no idea what they are talking about and living on the work of others (Us).
There is only Gamergate and what it means, we've been slandered by Twitter eggs spouting attacks, straight out provable lies by our opponents and then the absolute dismantlement of the mainstream media.
And that's just a flex in the tutorial level from us.
Bring it on is what I say!
I'm of the opinion that Gamergate never actually ended. It's been going for a decade straight now and can truthfully claim accomplishments such as the election of Trump and the current collapse of AAA game companies.
How do you have part 2 when the opening act is still going?
It wont end until the big access media outlets are gone, and there's a true AAA crash and realignment.
Gamergate was basically just a battle in a long string of an overall war, its just one of the biggest and most decisive of those that had been relatively underground prior so it got the most traction.
People treating Gamergate as a thing that was the opening salvo that also ended at some point is like calling WW2 "D-Day."
It was less of a battle than carpet bombing an unaware civilian population out of sheer hubris. Instead of crushing a few enemies they thought they saw there, they created 1000-fold more enemies out of all the bystander witnesses to their true nature.
