It came up as a result of a protracted harassment campaign started by an ex.

He wrote a very long blog piece outlining how he felt she hurt him. I don't care to comment further because other people's private lives aren't my business. He did not feel this way, and shopped the piece around to various nerd centric forums in an attempt to create a grass roots movement to defame her (I believe hoods words were something like "to warn the industry and individuals about her")

He was rejected at almost every forum he posted on due to the ugly, hurtful intent of the post. He was not rejected by /v/

Channers took the defamation idea and ratcheted it up to harassment. In their irc channel, logs show them discussing ways to reframe the harassment to appeal to a broader audience. Since "they had a bad relationship" isn't a relatable reason to harass women, it was suggested it be reframed as an issue of ethics in video game journalism since they could make a connection between ZQ and a journalist. (A positive review never came of this, however.)

The original post didn't claim nepotism, but seizing on this would lead to the notorious IA video which furthered the claim. Adam Baldwin tweeted the video with the GamerGate hashtag, and that's how GamerGate began.

It came from people wanting it to be there. Seriously.
