Summary:
When Ben Kuchera wrote the article "The year of GamerGate: The worst of gaming culture gets a movement" on the Polygon website, he opened with the claim that "GamerGate began as an attempt to shame and harass a female developer". Not only this, but that text is also one of the purple bold stand-out quotes as well within the article. He failed to mention that he was financially supporting said developer, Zoe Quinn, at the time through Patreon.

Evidence the developer referenced is "Zoe Quinn":
Yes, I know, this is beyond obvious but it still needs to be done. Here is an article from 2015 referencing this claim. https://archive.is/W7liw#selection-1611.0-1611.413 . It can also be verified simply through a search for various videos referencing "Five Guys Burgers and Fries" that the developer Ben Kuchera references is Quinn.
