While different people have different experiences when it comes to how their social circle views gaming, in many larger circles (some gaming journalism, The Internet, and a lot of mainstream media in general), it's perceived/presented as a male-dominated hobby and frequently has the misogyny to show for it. A few examples off the top of my head:
- Fat, Ugly or Slutty (http://fatuglyorslutty.com/) (trigger warnings for all sorts of sexual insults and possibly worse) chronicles user-submitted caps of harassment women have received while playing online. (A lot of these are also insults are also disparaging the recipient's looks.)
- Games with character-creation-based protagonists being marketed almost exclusively with male versions of their protagonists (Mass Effect 3 and Dragon Age 2 were advertised so heavily with the male versions of their main protagonists that many people who weren't following the games closely didn't even know you could play as a woman; The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim has been falling into the same trap).
- The Spike Video Game Awards (http://borderhouseblog.com/?p=3441), which got a fair amount of bad press last year for its reinforcement of the stereotypical 'dudebro' gaming culture.
Where the "gamer girl" label becomes problematic is when it perpetuates the idea that girls who play games are unusual/separate, which encourages both the kind of behavior seen at "Fat, Ugly, or Slutty", and the kind of behavior that the secret OP seems to be complaining about (I'm not familiar with the girl in the secret myself).
