I've been seeing a bit of what you've shared in the last few days and I get the feeling that you have a tendency to jump to conclusions. How can you be certain that you were blacklisted? Isn't it entirely possible that other journalists chose not to share your story because it was tough to sell, because it wouldn't be interesting to read about, because most of them shy away from writing about something not immediately related to video games or video game culture? Plenty of sites cover issues like feminism because readers are interested in them, but how many readers do you honestly think are interested in the office politics of competing video game blogs?
Out of all major games sites, Kotaku would've been your best bet (a year ago), they've done plenty of investigative journalism in the past, Jason Schreier specifically, and they don't really seem to care about who they're pissing off, they'll post it anyway. So it's interesting to see Jason stating that you weren't blacklisted there at all.
