It's like some bizarro world where suddenly Kotaku is attempting to institute some form of ethics for those who work under its umbrella and everyone at competing sites are trying to disparage them for it.

Something that no other journalistic media is without (ideally).

so is the ethics part in that picture a reference to something

tbf it wasn't just "not playing games" but the fact she was stealing footage from other peoples LPs and then trying to say it was her own gameplay footage.

Where did she say this?

Even if she did take LP footage. It's pretty normal to ask to use that footage in private. Getting good footage of gameplay is a loving time sink.

Ruth Benedict has never been to Japan, yet her The Chrysanthemum and the Sword: Patterns of Japanese Culture is still one of the most influential anthropological studies on the subject. Just think about it.

Knowing nothing about this, how did her work become so influential with her seemingly never had personal experiance with the culture in the first place? How did she study it exactly?

Literature, visual art, newspapers, interviews with Japanese people living in America, etc. She did so well, in fact, the book was very well-received even in Japan and sold millions of copies there since. The reason behind it, of course, is that Ruth Benedict was an actual anthropologist and even when describing things that don't sit well with Western culture and ethics, she never drew any judgments. You know, because she wasn't a 'pop culture critic' on the World Wide Web of the Internet, but a real scholar.

A frightening trend is surfacing in the world of online gaming – hackers rewriting code to simulate sexual assault.

It's a shame Anita took down all the information about her stretch goals on her Kickstarter page and also the Kickstarter page itself so you can't verify this is bullshit yourself in like ten seconds.

The closest she comes is "I will be researching and playing hundreds of titles from across the gaming industry". Which is only close if you assuming she meant she would be playing every game she would be researching. And doesn't include anything even close to "I will only using footage I recorded myself".

E: Disclaimer is that I am lazy as hell and literally only read her main Kickstarter page and the updates about stretch goals. If she's made claims of only using recorded game footage elsewhere she's dumb as hell because a) that would be completely infeasible and b) she's clearly used footage of other people playing and had no reason to believe that it wouldn't be noticed.
