This is like when Israel does the most comedically anti-Semitic stereotypes like poisoning wells and using baby sounds to lure out more victims.
It’s bad folks. Leaning into reaction isn’t good. You aren’t owning the chuds by proving them correct and giving them propaganda, you are just fueling reaction
No, that is insulting to the victims of the genocide. When Israel did this (and still does), it was horrible, because of what they did (and still do) to the Palestinians. Not because of "painting other Jews in a bad light". Frauding gamers in this way is almost a victimless crime. No comparison.
Spreading anti-semitic beliefs is a secondary bad outcome of their actions that jews worldwide now have to deal with
Certainly doesn't help that
and 
have done everything they can to silence not only Palestinian voices but antizionist Jewish voices too so those who do oppose the genocide are just screaming into a void where no one can hear us
You can’t seriously compare this one woman profiting off of misogyny with an entire system that devalues antisemitism through forcing the label on resistance against genocide. The issue here is not Jewish people playing into bad stereotypes, the issue is the genocide itself and maybe secondary all authorities forcing people to choose between supporting a genocide or being deemed antisemitic.
This person is not in any way profiting off misogyny.
I can compare them, what I didn't do is equate them - which is what you seem to be saying. It is the same phenomena broadly, of leaning into negative reactionary stereotypes for personal gain.
That’s not what I’m saying. I explained that the situations are not comparable because the actual harmful forces in your example don’t apply in this case.
It's a difference of scale but not of kind
I’m not talking about scale. I’ll repeat my point in different words: The actual powers behind the rise of antisemitism is not Jewish people doing bad things, it’s authorities who devalue the label antisemitism by forcing everyone to choose between supporting a genocide or being deemed an antisemite. There is no powerful system in place that forces people to either choose between supporting this person who faked being a pro gamer, and being a misogynist. If there was such a system in place, it would be the powers behind that system who would be responsible for the devaluation of the word misogyny and the resulting rise of misogyny. Still not the person herself.
There's more than one force behind the rise of antisemitism. Israel openly tries to spread anti-semitism worldwide to make more jews need to move to Israel, they very overtly lean into it on purpose. To narrow it down to one source is reductive. Just like there's a lot of ways that racism is perpetuated by all different classes and interests under capitalism.
I wasn't arguing that this woman specifically was the one leaning into the misogynistic stereotype, I was responding to comments in this thread and the title of the OP that were. Things like "Queen" and generally celebrating this. I don't celebrate the misogynistic gamer bros having more fodder and propaganda and agitating amongst all the gamer kids.
To clarify, I don't think this woman deserves misogynistic hate or additional blame beyond that of a cheater (disqualified, banned, clowned on, etc. etc.) Anything above and beyond that is gamer bigotry. That's a separate point than generally lamenting on a communist website that this will fan the misogynist gamer flames.
