And we're talking about saying that all gamers scare her, which, while it's understandable, is also a stupid and insulting thing to do.

That's a pretty bad read of the article in question. "A small voice of doubt in my brain now suspected that those guys and I might not be comrades after all. That they might not greet me with reflected friendliness, but contempt." Which is the entire problem with harassment in gaming right now. The minority of assholes are so unpleasant that they poison the well for just about everyone.

The media narrative is too well ingrained at this stage.

Oh, come on. Gamergate was the biggest pile of bullshit to come out of the internet, only eclipsed about a year later by Pizzagate. The initial accusations against Quinn were the incoherent and inaccurate rantings of an ex, and required time-traveling prostitution for a one-sentence background reference. You got played for a fool providing cover for a harassment campaign, with the FBI files just released under FOIA where key parties admitted to having engaged in criminal threats. All of which was targeted at gamers and resulted in gamers bailing out of social media or jobs within the industry. Good job!
