Came in here thinking that it was going to be someone proclaiming that gaming journalists have become mouthpieces of the industry rather than actually asking the questions that need to be asked.

Instead, it's a rant about gaming journalists calling it as they saw it (as though that's something that shows their lack of maturity/honesty/professionalism), with the phrase "grow some balls" in relation to the reporting of an issue that was supposed to be about gender.

isn't both a bad thing?

and yes the issue is about gender.

Gaming journalists taking a position isn't a case of them failing to "grow some balls" at all. And I'm sorry, but you've selectively quoted stuff to support your position, as though that somehow proves that gaming journalists selectively quoting stuff to support their position is a bad thing...

And you apparently don't quite get the issue with the use of "grow some balls" in this context. Think about it, you may just realise what the issue is.
