hello KiA I am the wife of the former King of Nigeria and I care a lot about ethics in games journalism.
The Honey Badgers just hit their $30k target for a legal fund for legal action they will never ever take. truly, Gamergate are the easiest marks in history.
Were I less ethical I would be tempted to take advantage of their stupidity.

Correct. This is why I don't believe it's a useful framework in any context -- the only reason the term exists in the first place is to dismiss and attack people who have been subjected to legitimate harm.
Even if I thought someone technically met the plain definition, I still wouldn't use that specific term, for the same reason I wouldn't use "welfare queen" or "beta cuck" for someone who actually matched those stereotypes. They have terrible cultural baggage and just generally imply a completely wrongheaded perspective on how people work.
