'nuff said.
OK maybe not but I did some research.

This records the first day of the controversy: August 16th, 2014, the day Zoey is accused by her boyfriend of cheating on him to get better reviews for her game "Depression Quest"in this post:
http://thezoepost.wordpress.com/
I can neither verify or deny the claim, BUT she said that gamergate was directly created from that story:

I decided to do some digging through twitter post before August 16th, 2014 and this is what I got:

If I did the search wrong please correct me, but while there is one post on gaming and politics, most appear to be random unrelated nonsense. Which may prove Quinn's point: people are using gamergate to harass women(or at least her). And even if the allegation against Zoey is true, if Gamergate didn't exist before the posted date (August 16th, 2014), then how is this ethics in media? Sex scandals leading to good reviews are ethics concerns in general, not ethics in journalism.
If you know of anything about Gamergate before the posted date, please please please post and correct me.
Forgot to say that we needn't care for gaming gossip. E3 is suffient.
Also forgot to say that people shouldn't try to rewrite history.
