Agreed with your reasons, but she made points I have never heard about that I found interesting, like disappearing of some femininity aspects to awkwardly try to avoid sexism accusations. I wanted to share a point of view that I think is rarely shared in gaming communities.
I don’t follow YouTube drama much, so I don’t know who Asmongold is.
The reason I ended up there is because I recently started playing Oblivion, and saw her videos mentioned.

These are very common talking points of gamer gate bigots. It’s a giant red flag, because the people who talk about it are bigots
I think you may have a a specific experience that makes this very common for you. I personally don’t interact with those subjects much, so I didn’t know. Thank you for sharing your view.
Gamergate is not a very specific circumstance. It was a widespread harassment campaign involving the entire industry. This is a follow on from that movement, and any game that releases a female protagonist that isn’t soft and demure gets active push back from this group.

Pretty prejudiced take. Like in the literal sense of the word.
She shouts out a racist who was banned from twitch for bigotry, so I’d say it’s pretty spot on as a red flag.
Can you describe some of those aspects that have been disappearing?
Reminds me that time gamer discovered girls have body hair because of Aloy.
