Maybe it's just that I don't feel like dredging through pages of a random tumblr, but so far I don't see much there but complaints about clickbait/misleading titles (and not even all gaming related) which is a pretty widespread problem in all internet journalism and not specific to gaming at all.

It's been dead because Gamergate has been dead. What's your point with that? The tumblr you linked also contained a lot of slander and mockery as could be expected of any random tumblr our there, so that doesn't seem like anything worth mentioning.
The rest is just... not even worth responding to lol. People will believe whatever they want to believe, especially when their priorities are so skewed they care more about some mostly imagined war on video games than they do the harassment of real people.
Did you not see the eleven or so "Gamers are dead" articles that sprung up when the movement started? Or the thousands of reddit comments that got deleted because the media didn't want people to have any discussion at all? And no, you cannot tell me that every single comment was pure vitrol.
And what does the language of the tumblr have to do with anything? It's a mockery of clickbait journalism, which is more prevelant in games journalism than any other. There's not a whole lot you can say about it without insulting the writers for being shallow and money-grubbing. What I'm getting is that you don't want to check one or two pages of a dissenting opinion.
Also, a ten second google search of "Gamergate" brings up 4 articles about it that were published 9 hours ago. It's still the most trending topic on Know Your Meme. The /gamergate/ board on 8chan is active. It's still very much alive.
