Hi newfag!
It's not a movement. It's got no leader, no list of demands and/or values, no structure, no formal organized body, it's simply a chaotic response through internet activism to media's discovered unethical conducts + use of politics as an evasive maneuver by the unethical media to redirect the polemics from them to a strawman / red herring, so that they could avoid addressing the issues that surfaced, while also profiting from the clickbait that they generated with the defensive lies.
It started with focus on an indie dev though, and her relationships with people on media, who wrote articles on her and one of her games, under a favorable manner (there were no reviews by these journos though, as is often mistakenly said).
