The political compass is not accurate. The idea that gamergate was primarily left leaning was pushed by lefty goons who couldn't bear the idea that they were fundamentally wrong - it was never accurate, their narrative was just tolerated for the sake of avoiding infighting.
"Left libertarian" is not a real political ideology, it is synonymous with ignorant degenerate.
Arguing about what it actually means isn't super relevant. The point is that these were limited government social liberals, which you would expect given the time period and the age of consumers. What they were not is dedicated Fascists, authoritarians, or even misogynists.
