With the permission of moderator Ültra, I proudly necrobump this thread to say...
...that this whole article was made-up by a man posing as a woman, who against all logic got approved by several sites and published in the media!

Mark Ankucic, a former video games writer who was fired from his previous position due to his support for GamerGate, convinced editors at The Mary Sue that he was a woman writing under the nom de plume “Sandy Beaches” to avoid “online harassment.”
Writing as his feminist critic alter ego, Ankucic managed to get two fake “feminist critiques” published at the site — one about combating sexism in the upcoming remake of Final Fantasy VII, and another about the inherent sexism of the tabletop game Warmachine.
"Quite simply, I wanted to see how ridiculous and flagrantly wrong/untruthful I could be and get away with it. I’d had the FFVII/sexism article written well over a year ago, yet I didn’t pull the trigger. I thought, at the time, that it would be far too stupid and misinformed for any publication to run. However, as the articles regarding feminist complaints on…well everything…began to pile up, each one getting progressively less logical and more poorly argued, I decided it was time."
He played us like a damn fiddle!
