The wording of the title sums up the current state of the debate quite good. I (and I'm sure many other as well) stopped reading and writing about it some time ago.
There seem to be endemic problems in all activist movements (you can call it something else if you like) such as the glorification/condemnation of certain individuals, participants being more interested in having it their way than finding compromises, and hype.
Effectively what that means is that people pick a thing, fight over it util the debate eventually reaches unforeseen (well, ...) levels of bigotry and hatred and then it stops. Nothing was accomplished* and everybody moves on to the next thing.
There were multiple debates about gender roles in movies that all went down a similar path.
* That's not entirely true.

I forgot something. Please stop (ab)using the word feminism. She talks about the representation of women in video games - and she actually calls it that. Feminism is about gender equality. If you'd like to have a debate about the role of men and women in video games, by all means, use the word feminism.

Also, how can you not see the irony in down-voting my post? Delicious.
