Isn't it up to female game developers (or males for that matter) to decide on their own? Nobody wants a third party stepping in and deciding if your product is politically correct enough.
I don't think this point is particularly relevant. These feminists and sjw's are not stopping certain games from being made or released (regardless of how much they would want to). People are free to criticise (the content of) products.

That is just plain stupid, man and woman have different tastes because, and i hope some day garbage feminist understand this, we are not equal, we are different by biology, woman tend to be more caring and gentle, while men tend to be more aggressive and competitive, that's how the world works, and as such men enjoy more those types of games, garbage feminist will say that is a social construct but is not we are made like that, and as such there will never be "equality" because we are not equal. Stupidity of garbage feminists that want to transform both genders in equals because they have some social complex without understanding this.
I'm sorry, but being gentle, caring or competitive has little to do with biology, at least as far as I know. It certainly isn't only biology. Some people just think those characteristics are innate, because they observe trends in society. But there's no proof that all these trends are the result of biological differences between men and women. They're trends and trends can be constructed.
Also, the problem is not that there are differences, the problem lies in the fact that some people see those differences as givens, things that automatically apply to every single individual of a particular gender or race. They see them as the way things should be. Those people will frown upon caring and gentle men and aggressive and competitive women, because that kind of behaviour is seen as not related to their gender. That graph doesn't show any biological connection with a gender's preference for a particular genre. It simply shows a trend, it doesn't show what caused that trend. Yet, people will take that graph and say that men and women have inherently different tastes, which is a severe generalisation that implies you do not follow the 'norm' if you happen to like a genre that isn't connected to your gender.

1, you're wrong. You can attribute bad and good to it. Because there has been some bs with people like King of Pol and Internet Aristrocrat. Which set back GamerGate.
Well, that's a problem. GG has no leader and its members are anonymous. That's a weakness. If you say a leaderless and anonymous movement can be held responsible for good and bad things, then there's nothing stopping your opponents from accusing you of being behind harassment and threats, even if there's no proof. They can simply point at some individual and say he/she is part of your movement. Whether or not that's true only matters to you, not to your opponents or outsiders. You can dismiss these accusations as not being proven, but you're simply another anonymous user claiming to be part of this movement. Your words mean very little. GG needs some actual organisation to be able to publicly distance itself from these accusations, otherwise it will just be viewed as a group of individuals with a shared hashtag, of which everyone can be a part.
What kind of impression do you think GG makes on people who are uninformed or indifferent, on people who watch this from a distance?

2, Wrong, not everyone can donate, and people donated because of GG. It's not a self congratulatory wave. People did something good and people are happy about it. Hell just trying to discredit GG just because they donated to something is telling that you're saying it's not a big deal. Not everyone can donate to these things.
The point is not to discredit GG. The point is that a few people who support GG donated for a good cause. That doesn't mean you can claim that GG as a whole donated for that good cause, only that a few GG supporters did. If you really want to stick to your claim that GG as a whole supported that kickstarter, if you want GG to be seen as a coherent organisation, then you'll have to accept that the amount of money donated in the name of GG was rather small. The point is you can't claim GG as a whole did something good, just because an unknown amount of GG members did something good. That's the problem with being a leaderless and anonymous group. As a coherent organisation you could take credit for (or distance yourself from) an individual's actions. As a group of anonymous individuals you cannot.
