I think in the attempt to justify yourself, you failed to recognize that she's making light of the word itself. How can you, as a group, be so lazy to not just change your name? And then expect other people on the outside look in and try to figure out who's right and who's wrong?
As a friend recently said to me: "If I was a fan of crips and blood attire and then found out that's the shit they're into, I'ma stop wearing it."
I'll help start you off: Journalismgate. Reviewergate. Ethicsgate. Writinggate.
Journalismgate - What kind of journalism?
Reviewergate - What kind of reviewers?
Ethicsgate - Ethics? Ethics in what?
Writinggate - Writing? What kind of writing?
Gamergate - Hey... this is about video games, and the -gate suffix probably means that it's about corruption and some kind of cover-up!
