This isn't the first shitstorm to get caused (at least partially in this case) because games journos have contempt for their audience - look up the whole shitstorm about Mass Effect 3's ending.

Why do you think the media is giving so much weight to threats against females compared to those against males?

For instance, there wasn't nearly as much of an outrcry over twitch streamers being swatted, despite that being so much worse (y'know, since threats vs getting raided by the police).

I think a great example of this was the shitstorm over Mass Effect 3's ending a while back.
