What is the expansion of the acronym “GaMeR”? I’ve not seen it before and I want to be sure I understand.

They're just spongebob texting "gamer".
I think he's making fun of the over the top gamer branding some technology products have.
It's not an acronym, it's the word "gamer" written in something akin to leetspeak [1].

Believe it's use of Mocking Spongebob style https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/mocking-spongebob
Oh.
its "gamer" like "video game player". not an acronym.
That's incomplete, it turns out; apparently it's a weirdly capitalized form of "gamer" with sarcastic/disrespectful intent towards the referenced group.
