Line 51:
** ''Explanation'': A mocking sentiment [[Ironic Echo|ironically echoing]] the "Gamers are Dead" articles in 2014, which gained traction among pro-GG in 2016 in light of Gawker Media's bankruptcy and closure.
* "Everything is X and you have to point it all out!"
** ''Explanation'': A reference to Anita Sarkeesian from a 2015 panel, wherein she said "Everything is sexist, [[Everything Is Racist|everything is racist]], everything is homophobic and you have to point it all out to everyone all the time [...]"
** Since then, it's used by pro-GG to highlight how the opposition are either off-base from what's being discussed or [[Not So Different]] from the [[Moral Guardians]] of yesteryear.
* "Who stole the time machine again?"
** ''Explanation'': A recurring gag, particularly in KotakuInAction subreddit, that had evolved from observing how some negative mentions of GG in the media tend to either get the origins wrong or pin ''historical events'' on pro-GG and anyone deemed problematic.
* Gamedropping.
** ''Explanation'': A term given to a recurring tendency in the media to mention GG and anyone/anything associated with it, even when it's either uncalled for or otherwise irrelevant to what's actually being discussed.
* MarvelGate (or #ComicsGate, #MakeMarvelGreatAgain, #MakeMineMeme)
** ''Explanation'': Storm in the Twitter teacup (the original hashtag is #MakeMineMilkshake) during Jul-Aug 2017, started as a faux controversy with the victim cards held by some SJW employees of [[Marvel Comics]] (see also: "[Unsolicited Opinions on Israel???]" above). Quickly turned into an obvious imitation of Gamergate, except more pathetic - a crusade against straw dolls of abstract "trolls", "haters", "bullies" and "misogynists", but no specific archenemies.
