If they just "didn't like it" there would be no scandal. The reason this has gotten so much press is that, rather than making rational arguments against a point of view they don't like, the GamerGate crowd (or rather a more radical subset of them) decided to make very scary rape and death threats against people who didn't share their point of view. One of them actually threatened to shoot up a school because someone they didn't like was going to speak there; I consider that fairly "scandalous".
