Worth remembering that while Sarkeesian was one of the principal targets of Gamer Gate, it initially got started when an ~~woman~~ NB made a text adventure that got good reviews and people freaked and assumed she slept with a reviewer for them.
You forget that the actual catalyst was her ex-boyfriend venting about her on 4chan after their break-up and making those allegations. Chan types had hated the dev in question before GG too for some other crimes against gamerdom, and they were fucking ecstatic to blow the shit out of the post and turn it into a campaign
Apparently a lot of the allegations were false too

The "other crimes against gamerdom" was stating that women also get depression. I'm not joking.
lmao not even, it got a mention on Kotaku due to DepressionQuest being, well, a means to convey a rough equivalent to being depressed. no reviews at all, literally just a little bit of coverage. Though tbh I'm thinking about it and I think Sarkeesian slamming predated gamergate, actually.
