That's intersectionalism 101. You need to really get inside the heads of Idpol people to understand what they're thinking, but I don't recommend it, because it will drive you nuts. If a game loses them money, that's because
capitalism is the problem, because capitalism disproportionately rewards white males, and that means other demographics can't afford luxury items like video games, and therefore, we need more affirmative action so people can buy more boring, preachy diversity fiction.
If you're around SJWs long enough, you begin to understand the circular, self-reinforcing, and superstitious nature of their logic. They're not interested in video games
as video games. As in, they are not interested in gameplay, or skill gap, or the audiovisual aspects of games, or tactile feedback, or any of that. They're only interested in games as a narrative medium. The gameplay, required skill level, art, sound, and music could be literally anything.
The ideal SJW game could literally use stick figures and play something like Myst, and they wouldn't care, as long as the protagonist isn't sexualized eye candy and as long as the plot conforms to their belief system:
It began earlier than that. In fact, ground zero was probably RaceFail '09, but in the wake of OWS, it got significantly worse, and this shit started taking over communities.

None of Anita Sarkeesian's critiques of games had anything to do with video games, because, as everyone should know by now, she doesn't like playing them.
Anita Sarkeesian is one of those Buffy Studies 'tards and her critiques are broadly applicable to any narrative medium. She just latched onto video games because they were trendy and because she saw something she could exploit for SJW pity-bux.

Her arguments are completely nonsensical if you actually dissect them at all. Her thesis,
I'll Make a Man out of You, is gender-essentialist trash:
Wow, really liberating, Anita. Very feminist.
So, any time a woman in fiction is aggressive or solves her problems with violence, she's just being written as a man with tits.
“Feminism doesn't simply mean women getting to partake in typical badass "guy stuff". Feminism is about redefining our social value system.”

Yes, this is what these people actually believe. If a woman picks up a gun and blasts all her enemies to bits, smokes cigars, drinks liquor, works out and gets ripped, and intimidates bad guys by telling them that she plans on cutting their liver out with a rusty spork, she's not
challenging gender stereotypes. She's just reenacting and reinforcing the superiority of manhood.
Apparently, the ideal female protagonist doesn't solve problems with macho violence. She dabs her eyes with a lace doily and cooks the bad guy a nice Shepherd's pie, and makes him renounce his evil ways as he is moved to tears by her innocent, childlike femininity... oh wait. That's just your bog-standard housewife stereotype.
Note that even SJWs can't agree on this point, as evidenced by how this Abby nobody is stacked with muscle and solves her problems by beating and choking people to death.
SJWs are very emotional and their logic runs entirely on feels. If a character in something they wrote is flipping out and raging at the world, you can bet that it's because the author feels the exact same way.
"OMG, TRUMP MIGHT GET RE-ELECTED, TIME FOR MY CHARACTERS TO HULK THE FUCK OUT AND SMASH EVERYTHING."
SJWs are chronically incapable of introspection, they run on superstition rather than logic, and they can't see the value in writing stories that have value systems that are in any way different from their own. A real author knows how to write a story from any side, from any perspective, and they can see the value in it.
If they wanted to do a muscle-girl revenge plot, I mean, they could have killed off Dina and then had Ellie bulk up on soy protein powder or whatever the fuck. This would have had the advantage of it being a character that we actually kinda gave a shit about.
