She has, like a lot of women, been harassed by GamerGate. They actually sent a police SWAT team to break down her door (which they didn't).

She's been viciously attacked in Breitbart, a far right-wing site that championed GamerGate's hounding of women in tech.

She also created a useful tool to block GamerGate hate attacks on Twitter. It's the sort of thing a lot of women could use.

Basically, any women in tech who can be targeted will be targeted by Gamergate because that's what they do. GamerGate is basically a rentamob of misogynistic thugs. It's toxic.

(Whether it's just misogynistic thugs exploiting the GamerGate label doesn't really matter. To all intents are purposes, they are GamerGate now.)

There was quite a good BuzzFeed story on the larger picture of what's going on.
