This has the stink of Adria Richards-style muckracking behind it too.
"I am offended by someone, but instead of talking it out with that person I am going to go behind their back and try to shame/expose them to the internet!"
It seems really cowardly that Bailey did not try to follow up with the developer or voice her concerns, and then rationalizes away this dereliction of duty by saying "Oh it was a roundtable interview so I couldn't get a word in!" Was that one interview was really her only chance in the world to communicate with Mercury Steam?
Even more craven is writing the article in such a way that it sounds like the developer is aware of the tenuous rape context that she has chosen to add.
