Yes I said I'd rather people be afraid to write about games, than be afraid to actually make the game... I don't see why you felt repeating this had some shock effect. :/

And you also act like mainstream = good.
Not to sound like a Hipster, but mainstream is hardly the definition of what's good.
All it means it that media shoves up into people's throats more, and a higher percentage of people like it.
It speaks nothing for the actual quality or legitimacy of the content in question, if your concern is purely numbers you're in the wrong field.
Gaming was never about appealing to everybody, each game is molded to a specific audience.

And good job completely missing the point, never did I claim we didn't already have some good and serious games. But developers are scared to make more of them, and those on more daring topics because of the backlash they would receive. And yes, GAMERS love those games. They aren't the concern of the backlash, the concern is people outside the field reacting to it with full hostility.

And before you reply with "See! We need to be mainstream!" no we don't. D&D isn't mainstream, but it does not suffer such criticism (anymore). Most people may look at it and go "What the hell... this is weird", but they aren't calling it sexist and making people afraid to make new tabletop games. And yes, game companies have to back down from topics all the time because of criticism. If honestly think all the feminazi's like anita, zoe, rebecca watson, laci green etc. haven't caused a developer to halt and go "Maybe I shouldn't make this... I'll lose my job cause people will get mad at me" you seriously need to give the gaming industry an actual look.

And seriously? You're logic makes people like Anita immune from being caught from certain acts... Anita fakes a threat, she get's caught. Suddenly we're being entitled because Anita was being dishonest... Not, you know, the LOGICAL answer of "Oh look! Anita's dishonest, no shit gamer's called it out". No, if Anita is caught doing something bad it's ok, because gamer's are just entitled shits for noticing it. But I'm actually against Anita guys! I said she cherry picks!

For someone who claims gamers need to get together and fight for a cause, you sure do a lot of trying to vilify gamers for getting together and fighting for a cause.
And just like you said, Journalism isn't even needed for a games success. If a game is good, it get's a following of it's own.
So essentially it's doing far more harm to games of making them all look evil and making developers avoid certain topics, rather doing good.

I'm sorry if you don't get the concept of a reviewer needs the game to review first. 
But that's life, game journalists need games. Me prioritizing games is not sexism, it's not entitlement, it is hard, logical fact.
