It is one thing to be called out for lack of professionalism, but that isn't what is happening here. This is mass ad hominem from the lowest of the low for an individual making a comment about the disappointing continued homogeneity of an already exclusive and pandering industry. Regardless of her history with Giant Bomb, the comment does not in any context justify responses such as: ... and this is only the tip of the iceberg of toxic reactions I could find. To compare first and foremost her conduct in lieu of her detractors' feels very disingenuous.
It's still like the point I was trying to make: There's no development to made operating from that perspective. We're talking about a culture that has a very strong component of intentional verbal/visual/mental abuse (trolling.) The strength of the trolling behavior provides the perfect shield for pure ignorance as well as obtaining a successful angry reaction. To this day, I have not seen a method of dealing with this component other than simply not engaging it at all, "do not feed the trolls." The catch-22 here is that if you respond with negative frustrated feelings, you're always going to lose because that's what charges their batteries. What has a far better chance of pushing progress is like what psulli mentioned. Those that have the issue build the version they want to see. You can't force people to see the light, but you can facilitate it.
