Well, here's the thing - while both groups are right if you take them at face value, there's no reason to take GamerGate at face value anymore. It's feminism vs. anti-feminism now.

The anti-GG crowd, as a whole, complains about GG and calls them misogynists. They can be annoying.

The GG crowd peppers anti-GG people with with threats, doxxes them, and sends SWAT teams to their homes and the homes of their relatives. They can be terrifying.

There may be opposing viewpoints, but when it comes to opposing behaviors, there's no contest. One side is a lot more embarrassing for the gaming community than the other.

GG has become a hive mind with an enemies list. As a group, it lashes out at anyone who criticizes it or disagrees with it.

This is why they come up in this particular mess - Randi got called out to the GG groups as a feminist or whatever. Once she got on the list, she became as much of a target as anyone else they don't like.

There are plenty of good people who want to address ethics in gaming journalism, but they aren't going to do it with GG. It's too far gone. They'd do better to form a new group that isn't driven by hate and doesn't make decisions in an echo chamber.
