Kotaku hasn't done anything wrong so to say, but seeing as the current argument that's going on against corruption in games journalism and that whole deal, which happens to include Kotaku, involves some of the movements that Anita is a part of. Everyone knows of the GamerGate and the likes and what's going on there. Not picking sides, but with that going on and the fact no clear conclusion has been reached between the sides makes adding anything relating to what GamerGate is fighting against and using fuel for (Anita, Zoe, etc) their arguments would be a bad move. I don't care who published it, just while all that's going on, why add more fuel to the fire? Especially if you're part of a group that wants to defuse the situation at hand (in this case, Kotaku).
Kotaku isn't "wrong" for reporting this, as it's important to know, just they should have waited for the situation to defuse. That's just what I think, and I'm not going to be upset with anyone who disagrees.
