MODERATORS
Sorry for assuming, I'd encourage you to check Anita's own opinion about speaking on gamergate though. She doesn't want to.
Wait, what? I was at an event where she spoke about it and she seemed comfortable enough speaking about it in that context. I guess feelings can change over the years, my mistake. Sincerely.
For sure, she is still a media critic in public (following intially going into hiding), and has talked about it numerous times. Her historic stance hasn't really changed though, I'd imagine at a certain point you'd just want to move on to something else, in her case to pivot toward speaking on female empowerment etc indirectly related topics. Pretty sure she's not done any gaming-specific media work for a number of years now.
I was wrong to make the proposed exercise such a zero-sum game though, I just mean to highlight how ridiculous the opposing position (that any article quoting Hasan for any reason is auto trash) is, in this particular case.
