against female video-game designers suspected of feminist leanings
Jesus Christ, Joe McCarthy is freakin' immortal. McCarthy and HUAC went after current (and former) members of the foreign-controlled CPUSA, not people who read The Communist Manifesto and thought, "heh, cool." That is a huge distinction, and one lost on Ms Garvin (who deserves the honorific due to his stellar and unthinking efforts on behalf of feminism), since almost all of the "gamers are dead" movement were avowed feminist activists.
