It's an attempt to help you consider the implications of what you were saying.
For example, trannies are insane faggots, and so calling someone a tranny is insulting, because it carries connotations of insane faggotry; and so when you see the phenomena of a person being an insane faggot, calling them a tranny is perfectly appropriate.
Not in spite of the fact that it is insulting, but because it is insulting.
In the attempt by many different kinds of people to shield themselves from devalidation in particular, they will use sophistical arguments whose implications ultimately end up undermining the very possibilities of knowledge, truth, logic, reason, epistemology itself.

Confucius say:
If names be not correct, language is not in accordance with the truth of things.
If language be not in accordance with the truth of things, affairs cannot be carried on to success.

That's what tipped the boulder down hill at any rate.
What needs to be understood first of all is that game '''journalism''' has always been a potemkin village from pretty much the beginning anyways, but what made 'gamergate' a thing that popped-off the way it did was that this time around, the shills-for-hire dragged the state religion of identity politics into the equation to protect themselves from censure, which basically escalated the scope of the issue by entangling the rest of the theocracy's official(ly unofficial) priesthood into the mess by default. Which was like lifting a seemingly innocuous rock only to find a writhing mass of bugs was hiding under it which start scurrying everywhere.
And that's how 20something shut-ins trying to play video games in the occident suddenly found themselves on the front-lines of the culture war.
