I've found that this also applies to anybody who gave any sort of negative opinion on Mad Max: Fury Road.

Anita Sarkeesian was one of those people. A lot of people turned on her for it, even people who had supported her during the GamerGate debacle.

"Oh no, somebody I support thought this wasn't as feministic as everybody says it was. Does that mean that there might be actual problems with the movie? But then I'm a bad person for falsely touting it as feminist and liking something that's meta-problematic! I shouldn't be having this internal debate! I'm a normal person! Everybody except for these few losers thought Fury Road was awesome! I'm angry at Sarkeesian for even daring to question that!"

What's funny is that she has both sides of the GamerGate argument arguing against her for that now - both the MRAs and Feminists thought it was an exemplar of feministic filmmaking.
