My view of how these things happen: Game studio is developing a game revolving around Battle of Nanking. Two teams compete on how many civilians they can rape and kill in five minutes.

Presumtive buyers are drooling with excitement over this great game.

A woman joins the company and start arguing that the game is bad for our youth. It promotes rape culture. The game should instead revolve around a secret romance between two homosexuals in the army.

The people at the studio start thinking that, you know maybe she is sort of right, and post that on their blog.

Those who have been longing for the game get extremely upset. They feel that an outsider is destroying "their" game.

The craziest few of them threaten the woman.
