I have no idea who this is but I guess I can at least give critical support for pissing off gamers

Anita Sarkeesian was the first target of the right wing redpill manosphere grift's movement into Gamers. I think of the attack on her as wave 1, then Gamergate as wave 2, then Baby whatever it's called as wave 3.

Asmongold and a few others exist as a community hubs for a holding pattern between finding things to target. Originally the hubs were actual communities (4chan) before online influencer culture kicked off.

Cool woman, I hope she's alright

Yeah I don't agree with all her takes but she did good work.

She put out a few videos in the early 2010’s making a feminist critique of video game tropes and cliches in game design. On the whole, she was arguing for pretty mild stuff: fewer damsels in distress, more women as self-sufficient lead characters without ridiculous fan service. The way the freeze-gamer crowd talked about her, though, you’d think she called for all men to be ritualistically castrated.
