Enough of the people doing that used the Gamergate banner that it's been tainted with it.

What because of some logs out of an IRC room called #burgersandfries? The whole bu-bu-bu-but death threats, just feels like someone calling punk rock satanic because of self harm, it just sounds like bullshit to me, and that's the only discussion I'm having. I think telling people their thing is too associated with death threats (but hey ALL of Comp Sci is associated with death threats now, maybe it's innate in object oriented language?) and they should change the name is just a shitty argument on multiple levels.

It immediately reveals that the accusation of "too involved with death threats" isn't very important since it can be addressed with a quick rebranding, it hits me as something someone who doesn't know what they're talking about or doesn't care what they're talking about would say. It's just a smokescreen counterargument that has been floating around since the beginning, it's as stupid as when I heard it weeks ago. It would please no one, fix nothing, and is essentially a non-statement that only exemplifies a desire to see the issue metastasize.
