The other side is that this "developer" made a game of questionable quality, which received a suspiciously good review, and when the gaming community dared to question the integrity of this review, the entire incident became symbolic of the typical kind of false, weponized victimhood characteristic of Anita Sarkeesan et al.. Suddenly any criticism levied at women in gaming development or gaming journalism is immediately sexist, regardless of merit.
There is a clear conflict of interest when reviewers are sleeping with developers. Calling attention to this fact is not an attack on women or any such nonsense.
