Anita Sarkeesian said that 3 years ago. It looks like you assume that what somebody(anybody!) said 3 years ago holds true for all eternity in the future. If I talked about 3 years ago how much I hate eating biscuit chocolate and how horrible the taste is, but the last 6 months I talk about that the taste isn't that bad after all, that I gotten used to it and that it is actually one of my favourites as of late, would you just continue ranting on that tjohej hated biscuit chocolate 3 years ago?
Except one of the major premises she used to get $160,000+ from people was to drive home the fact that she grew up loving video games and has been a gamer all her life. So your comparison doesn't hold up.
