How do you believe I did that, specifically considering that 3/4 aren't part of a gameplay commentary team? Apart from Michaels, who you only likely hear about through viral videos, do these men compare to what we're talking about?

In the industry I've spent most of my career in, ALL criticism of any woman is dismissed as sexism, and ALL criticism of any POC is dismissed as racism. The same thing occurs in large swathes of academe, and in other places. The rhetoric, of course, is identical to what I see here when posters attack people for not liking a particular commentator.

So… what ‘volume and quality of rhetoric’ do YOU consider permissible when criticizing a woman, and who appointed you to judge that?
It's too bad that your unspecified industry is that confused, but I don't know how it compares to how Cassie Campbell is disproportionately criticized for her performance on sports television.

This is all subjective, including my own assessment of how anyone is treated under any nuanced or contextualized conditions. In this instance I've observed a female broadcaster treated differently than her male counterparts within similar circumstances.

I'm not an authority on this and I've never claimed to be one. And I'm not a judge appointed to rule on anything, and I've again never claimed to be one. This is a strange inquisition, considering I'm neither preaching nor creating any kind of standard.

When two things are the same but elicit a distinctive response you generally examine the variables. In this case, it appears to be a penis.
