** ''Explanation:'' Detractors have a tendency to frame GG as a [[Straw Misogynist]] movement and mock free speech arguments, especially those favorable to GG. In response, pro-GG mock the accusations by calling it "muh soggy knees" (for misogyny) and "freeze peaches" (for free specch), though the latter tends to be a [[Forced Meme]] in discussions. |

* "Intimidation Game." |

** ''Explanation:'' [http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/events/intimidation-game A reference] to an infamous [[So Bad It's Good]] episode from ''[[Law and Order Special Victims Unit]]'' that's [[Ripped from the Headlines|inspired by GG]] that even includes an attempt to paint gamers as terrorists akin to ISIS. Seen by many on both sides as a modern successor of sorts to ''[[Reefer Madness]]'', it's since become material for various parodies and mockeries. It's also the source of such lines like "Go home, gamer girl!" and "They leveled up!" All spoken without any shred of irony. |
