I agree that notoriety, as opposed to notability, is not a good precedent for Wikipedia, whether the subject is man or woman.

I've had a look at the article, and I can't believe that this hasn't
yet undergone AfD.
As it says on the talk page, being a feminist and having a blog and
youtube channel doesn't make one notable.
There are no reliable sources in the article which discuss Sarkeesian
in-depth -- there is an interview on a blog, but this can't be used to
base notability on.
As it stands now, Anita (who is hardly notable) had the misfortune to
meet some trolls on the internet (welcome to Internet peoples), and
now she is basically notable, because her un-notable Wikipedia
biography was trolled with a pr0n imagem, and someone reported on it.
Anyone wishing to get their bio onto WP should use this case as an
example of how to go about it.
The article should be at AfD, because as it stands now, it is
everything that WP is not.
