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.
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.
Yeah people hated Sarkeesian way back in early 2013, firmly before gamergate which technically started I think in 2014 and was only in full swing around 2015-2016.
