"I didn't have many real-life friends in high school. I'm pretty sure I heard my WoW name more than my real name in those days—to the point where my WoW identity and my own were inseparable."

Well, I'm not sure how she can win really, given someone complained she should put things a more neutral tone and you've complained she puts things matter-of-factly. To me, she is both neutral and matter-of-fact. She's very calmly stating her argument.

We've got a campaign of nasty slut-shaming directed at Zoe Quinn because her bitter-ex blabbed publicly about their relationship, and the harassment directed at Anita Sarkeesian got to the point her family…
Brr.
Huh. So initially I was ready to dismiss this, but it is kind of interesting in a way. Ofc Hello Kitty is a cat, just not based on a real cat. Like the Teenaged Mutant Turtles aren't real turtles, or Sonic the Hedgehog isn't a real hedgehog.
