I unironically believe that while game journalism has been too close to the industry - both being complete cesspits filled with dishonest and the dregs of humanity - that much of the rage against her as a person, was indeed rooted in misogyny, considering that it was her who became the focus of attention rather than the press guy, whose name has long been forgotten, who handed out good reviews for sex (and I think there also was some sort of messy relationship involvement in general).
Gamergate would have been better focussing on something real rather than some literally who and her indie game which nobody heard of, let alone played.
