Don't make bomb threats against women who criticize the overt sexuality in games.

Don't harass women in the games industry.

Don't have a hissy fit when someone says they don't understand lets plays by flooding twitter with angry comments.

Don't criticize games for "filling a quota" when characters of color/different sexualities are introduced to said games.

Don't claim that criticism is "stifling the free speech" of developers.

Embrace criticism.

Realize that criticizing an aspect of a game doesn't mean it's under attack, or even that you can't still like the game (see: Quiet's design is shitty but I still love what I've played of MGSV).'

That'd be a good start, imo.
