In the media GG is portrayed as evil to its core, along with mainly being about hating women. Because those sources are deemed reliable, that is how it is portrayed in wikipedia. While in reality it was a reaction to a large swath of people being called misogynist or similar.

In my opinion [1,2] is a better source to get an overview of what actually happened.

I am biased though, in this case.
