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.
