Gamers generally don't like it when a non-gamer struts in and pretends to be an expert on video games so she can tell everyone how sexist and harmful games are and how sexist straight, white, male gamers are.

I think she'd get less flack from gamers if games journalists looked at her content and assertions with a critical eye instead of bending over backward to support her and accept her position at her word. They were ready to shit all over Jack Thompson, who was also wrong about his claims regarding video games causing societal ills, but the moment a pretty young white woman shows up flying the flag of progressive feminism, they bend the knee.

It's not like gamers, or Gamergate even, are entirely opposed to feminists looking at games. Liana Kerzner, another feminist voice in gaming, doesn't get the attention that Anita does (positive from journalists or negative from gamers). While she doesn't get the same support from the gaming press, she is much more well received by gamers who consume her content because she talks about games as a gamer. She probably gets some sympathy points because she's been harassed herself by Anita supporters and may have been blacklisted in the games press for being critical of some of Anita's work and by Zoe Quinn who, in CON chatlog leaks, said she would "talk to editors" about how awful she thinks Kerzner is ("literally the devil").
