I know it refers to gamers who are female, but that's about it. I don't have any personal thoughts on it.
So, what's up with it o-O?

I think people are usually referring to "Wannabe gamer girls. Ones that think they are Hipster because they play battlefield instead of COD.

In some cases, it may be meant in a derogatory sense indicating that the girl part somehow detracts from the gamer part. On the other hand, it can also indicate the opposite and be a term of respect, attaching the girl part to emphasize that, in spite of being a gamer, and assumedly a skilled one, they still maintain the feminine qualities that many girls pride themselves on. It can also be something that gamer guys find attractive, since most people like it when others share their interest. Ultimately, I think it comes down to context.

#1. On one hand you have gamer girls. They're just girls that like video games, no biggie.
#2. Then there's GAMURRRR GURRRLSSSS. They're the ones that play games for the attention more than the fun. Letting you know at any point that they can that yes, they are a girl and they're playing a game, how astonishing. I like to think that the ones who stream and have three pictures of themselves taking up 90% of the screen fall into this.
They're also guys that do that too, but no one pays attention to them because they are guys and who cares.
