Comparing her to Kathy Sierra is insulting. Kathy Sierra was an innocent victim. Richards used her position to bully others.
Yes, the backlash is distasteful and disproportionate, but if you're the one gleefully lighting the fire you are not just the victim if you get burned yourself.

It implies that her end goal was intimidation, rather than the more noble path of trying to ensure a safe space free of sexually-charged behaviour - which was indeed one of the stated goals of the conference in its code of conduct.
