Sorry I don't subscribe to the 'eye for an eye' morality, if a rapist is being harrassed and attacked that's no less wrong than if they weren't a rapist.
I'm not sure what the third sentence means, it's got too many subordinate clauses. Remember you're dealing with someone who doesn't "understood any of it at a rudimentary level". I'm not referring to some specific 1st year engineering student's definition of misogyny when I claim it about people, so I don't know whose degree is in play.
I don't know how you're looking at the problem but I see these things as mutually exclusive:
reviewer judges the game alone, not the author
reviewer is part of the gaming community
reviewers never exchange money with game developers
review sites are able to pay their reviewers
Personally I'm on the side where reviewers are part of the community, know what's out there and who's making it, and has opinions about what's a good game. I recognize that this means reviewers aren't completely unbiased, and will probably ending up talking to game developers. Because I want to see dev interviews. I want the reviewer to be able to go to PAX and talk to the folks making a game and not feel like that disqualifies them from reviewing it.
