gamedropping

The practice of dropping a #GamerGate mention into a totally unrelated article in an attempt to drive clicks and controversy. Commonly used by disreputable clickbait sites like Buzzfeed, Kotaku & The Guardian, especially those with SJW leanings.

"The Guardian is gamedropping again in that article on the colonisation of Mars"
"The last thing we need is to wake up in 50 years and find that a bunch of #gamergate nobheads are running Mars. "
