So what? Do you have problems with people expressing their points just because it doesn't fit your criteria of truth? I think she said some very poorly constructed claims like that "we live in a white supremacist society" - But I'm much more on her side not because I agree but because she keeps doing her job (and is probably paid for it) despite all the rape and death threats to the point she had to cancel lectures due to terrorist bombing threats. I really don't give a shit about what she says, I protect people who use freedom of speech and hate people who threaten those who use it - Like I hate religious people who threaten atheists for making youtube atheistic videos.
I don't give a crap if she contradicted herself, I've already said I'm not interested in what she does for a living - But I give a shit about people who think it's normal and expected for someone to receive death and rape threats
---> And yeah, she gets those threats because she is a WOMAN - You would never see a male personality in gaming getting so many threats for speaking about gaming in sexism ---> She gets threats because she's a non conformist and insults a medium that is very much loved by many people.
So you are bringing harassment, a thing that targets mostly women? Have you ever tried to use a female name online? I have, and it's not pleasant - It's embarassing and gets you lots of harassment. Also something else ---> you don't need to be a gamer to criticize forms of medium including games - Let me explain, if you want to criticize mechanics, graphics, plot, etc you need to be a gamer and experience the game // But to criticize social values and if there is any -ism you don't need to be a gamer; just like I'm not a cinema critic but I can say a movie is sexist, racist, homophobic, etc.

Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you
