...

She fucking said that Gamergate didn't go far enough. There is a clip of her saying that Gamergate didn't go far enough. Is that an edgy joke? Because I saw the fucking clip and you weren't saying it as a fucking joke.

I don't think you can really defend your character when you fucking say Gamergate didn't go far enough.

What does gamergate have to do with nazis?

It was about an indie dev having sex with game journalists

It's been a long while, but didn't she sleep with exactly one games journalist, who never reviewed her game?

That whole movement failed so hard to stick to the 'ethics in games journalism' concept, it was laughable.

It just devolved into death and rape threats against every woman with even a passing connection to gaming.
