First, a fewof points of accuracy: Dolphin is an emulator, an extremely famed one at that. A developer working on it is not necessarily a game developer. She was a developer on Dolphin, and she was damned good at what she did there too. Pucca's Kisses is a game, not an emulator. The video linked is a TAS, not her playing per se.
Onwards: This is saddening. A brilliant programmer and open source contributor, snuffed out too soon by trolls and bullies. At risk of being accused of blaming the victim: we need to teach people, especially vulnerable young folks, to disengage from trolls and bullying online. Shut down your social media, turn off the computer if you need to. Killing yourself is a vast overreaction to being bullied on the internet, but can seem like the solution when you don't have have the proper perspective and tools to deal with the internet.
I'd also like to take issue with this being called transmisogyny per se. I'm not denying it exists, or exists within the communities it is accused of existing in. HOWEVER, trolls are trolls and bullies are bullies. They will take anything and everything about you that you may be even vaguely insecure about, and harp on it as hard as possible to get a reaction.
People have been doing this for what is now DECADES on the internet. It's a trait-agnostic tactic that is not unique to a trans person being bullied or trolled, or a gay person, or any other trait someone may have, or identity they may identify with. Painting this kind of behavior with such a narrow brush misses the point and issue entirely.
