The reason why Sarkeesian wasn't because she was particularly persuasive, eloquent, or well-reasoned. It was because by the time she started her grift, game development corporations were already critically compromised by Leftist ideologues.

Part of that is because Left-libertarianism was historically popular among tech bros. Part of that is because it's illegal for corporations beyond a certain size to not have Leftist bias in their hiring (HR + Mandatory anti-White, anti-Male discrimination in law).

These people agreed with her all along, Sarkeesian and other brain-dead Leftist activists just provide the surface-level rationale
