There have been a number of articles, all overwhelmingly in support of BioWare and Jennifer Hepler, since this situation blew up on the weekend. I’ve listed some of the notable ones below.

Forbes - The Changing Face of Games: Feeling Angry and Ignored, Fans Look for Someone to Blame

Gamespot - The Dangers of Gamer Entitlement

FemPop - Creepy Internet Stalkers Harass Female Video Game Designer for Months

zConnection - When The Internet Fought Jennifer Hepler

The Mary Sue - Inclusion: What Jennifer Hepler’s Story is All About

Atomic - This is why gamers can’t have nice things - the Jennifer Hepler ‘debate’

Kotaku Australia - BioWare Writer Describes Her Gaming Tastes; Angry Gamers Call Her A ‘Cancer’

Destructoid - BioWare writer’s vagina versus the Internet

Awesome. A+, especially the Forbes article.
