What I find interesting is the people who cry 'censorship!' whenever someone criticizes the industry when it comes to their portrayal of certain groups, but when developers make statements about how publishers attempted to get them to change their main character from female to male to appeal to a male audience (Remember Me, Life is Strange) or removing them from the boxart because it's less attractive to said audience (Last of Us, and Bioshock Infinite, which did remove Elizabeth), few of these people are around to denounce THAT sort of censorship or wonder how much of it actually succeeds behind the scenes. Suddenly the argument twists to "Well, of course they're going to try to appeal to a larger audience, they have to make money".
Now, I think Anita is pretty rubbish, but the issue she brings up is a real one. Acting like she's single-handedly ruining the industry is pretty laughable, though, and the disgusting amount of hate and threats she receives are pathetic and not justifiable in the least.
