I didn't understand what people were arguing about, at the time
Maybe you can explain what the source of the anger was

Supposedly some female indie game dev was sleeping around for favorable reviews

That never actually happened, but that didn't stop dorks online from getting upset over it and then spinning off into hating minorities and women "ruining our gaemz"

I think one side was calling out sexism in the gaming community and the other was calling out dishonesty in gaming journalism?

Here's a Forbes article from when the society of professional journalists hosted a gamergate debate. Its the closest thing to an objective analysis you're going to get on the topic.

People got mad that a no-name developer allegedly slept with someone to get a good review for her no-name game. It didn't happen.

Jackasses started harassing her. In response, video game sites started talking about how gamers suck. A bunch of stupid bullshit followed. "Ethics in journalism" became the excuse despite there being actual examples of unethical behavior before and after that "controversy". I'm sure it was pure coincidence that this was the straw that broke the camel's back.

Bitterbeards have gotten mad at every representation of women and minorities in games since.

A bunch of male feminist gaming journalists slept with a loose woman named Zoe Quinn. In exchange, she had them whipped and had them write pro feminist propaganda and rate some game highly even though it sucked.

A man who cancelled a game(Fez 2) over mean comments on Twitter aired his dirty laundry over his ex allegedly cheating on him, additionally claiming she fucked a man.... for a positive game review.

People decided to take this seriously.

A lot of them lost their virginity to Zoe Quinn after years of being male feminists. So of course they were going to put down male gamers and promote feminism. In their minds, being a male feminist got them laid. Really, Zoe Quinn wanted to manipulate reviews. It wasn't actually a reward at all.

This and as an update the great victim zoey quinn recently ran a kickstarter and stole all the money (85,000) and took a trip to japan and stayed in a 300 dollar a night hotel. Basically just a shit person who always claims she is a victim.

Depression Quest would be a multibillion dollar franchise with rave reviews if a brave man didn't stop this vile woman.
