none of those articles are calling for a ban on games - they are (in a very hamfisted way) saying is that the gaming identity (i.e. the community) has a problem - that problem being harassment.

These articles date back to the beginning of Gamersgate (these articles actually gave it its name) - basically the whole Quinnsipricary nonsense led to attacks on the Gaming press (under the now proven wrong accusation she slept with reporters to get good reviews) - in a typical response the gaming press circled the wagons and responded with the articles above - basically a knee jerk attack at those they saw turning on them - this of course blew up in their faces and turned into what we know as Gamersgate today.

Not one article talked about censoring games - a lot bemoaned the "death" of the gamer identity (basically they were nostalgically longing for the 90's when the gaming community was FAR more niche and not as openly hostile to each other) but that isn't a call for censorship
