Which gave me the impression that Liana was always controlled opposition, or at least reluctant to attack her fellow female feminists.
That wasn't it. It's that Sarkeesian was Liana's competition. Liana was competing for an audience, and Liana was happy to align herself with another audience where she might be able to gain even a modicum of traction for her views. And frankly, it somewhat worked. A lot of early GG people, especially outside of the KiA2 splinter, are still very leftist in nature. She found an audience and many fell for it. Same with CHS. They were all still pushing from the same book. It was just about the amount of push. While Sarkeesian was trying to use wrecking balls, Liana and CHS were using hand hammers. By comparison, they're tame, but they're still after the same goal at the end of the day. They're still playing from the same SocJus playbook.
