"White male privilege" is not a label. It's a behavior or scenario.
to push and somehow forcibly change another.
Wow. The whole idea that people would jump all over this hiring decision is kind of horrible. It's especially bad for a niche (ish) hobby that is trying to grow and be more inclusive in order to broaden itself and make itself better. The thread that got closed on this site is pretty bad, honestly. This thread is pretty bad, honestly. Mike's tweet is sort of crappy but it's still well short of the reaction of many people, and I'm glad he's at least trying to say that this behavior isn't cool. Honestly none of this behavior is cool.

He draws the connect between the two. The CLEAR implication is that the criticism of her strategy/lore balance is indicative of sexism.
He talks about how many of the "fans" focused on rule complexity over lore density ALSO have a problem with women in gaming. He DIRECTLY correlates them. He is saying that criticizing her focus on lore over strategy is indicative of sexism - that the vast majority of people unwilling to support hiring people with limited rules focus are doing it because they're sexist. As I discussed, that is unfair and - in my experience - unfairly applied. I know a number of brilliant female strategists - rules lawyers, field generals, tricksters, and gamers of many colors. They might very well have doubts about her (I have not asked, but will). Isn't that counter indicative of his postulated correlation between 'people that prefer their game makers to be rules focused' and 'sexism'?
I also accept Paypal.
Use some of those funds to take a reading comprehension course and revisit our discussion. Any you're apparently overpaid. Seriously - he correlates guarding the game based upon rules/lore concerns with sexism. Do you not know anyone that would potentially be critical of her hiring, based upon rules/lore concerns, that would not be basing their beliefs on sexist legs?
If not, also spend some of those unearned funds on expanding your social circle.

He also is in no way saying that women cannot enjoy or excel at strategy. I’m not sure how you drew that conclusion.
anyone have a link where I can communicate with this new designer and wish them luck and success in their new job?
