who is this person and how did they supposedly ruin games?

It's Anita Sarkeesian, a video game journalist who became one of the centerpieces of Gamergate for saying such radical things as "sexism in video games exists and is bad".

Sarkeesian has literally 0 influence on anything, never did, but gamers have hated her with all their might for over a decade now. Her youtube podcast still gets dislike-bombed over 10 years after Gamergate.

Literally the only thing I'm aware of her criticism changing is making Emily playable in Dishonored 2.
