GamerGate

Doubt he'll come out in daylight.

His collection of weapons sounds like it was taken from one of his games.

This is all being stirred up by games 'journalists' who are trying to justify their own existence. Pile of ****

There's a subset of society that completely lose the plot when they try to communicate over the internet. If the law doesn't deal with them as it does for similar forms of abuse seen with footballers, actors, the McCanns, then hopefully social ostracisation gets them for being dangerously stupid arseholes.

That's not really anything to do with Gamer Gate although it suits some people to conflate the two.

Some are professional offense-takers who need there to be a narrative of 'xyz' being oppressed.
Some are the people that the campaign is mostly about - the gaming media.
While there's a fair bit of hyperbole involved and some gamers taking leaps of logic, the standard of games journalism is atrocious.

Partly that's down to the aforementioned offense-takers sticking their oar in, partly it's down to a relationship between media and industry being too cosy.

Initially this was kicked off, to make a long story short, by some gamers questioning the cosy attitude and then the response to them focused on the loonies and tarred most gamers with the same brush.

Predictably the dregs of the internet have been drawn to the whole thing, like vultures to carrion.

Think they just mean the gamers making the threats and stuff in this case, not all gamers.

Thought that was perfectly obvious, apparently not.

This has nothing to do with Gamergate, firstly. Secondly, Sarkeesian has been called out on falsifying threats made against her at least twice before, so I wouldn't be surprised at all if this was made up, too. She's a liar, manipulator and thief, as well as being one of two feminists responsible for destroying two charities aimed at helping young girls and women.

Homework, do it.

That anita chick has done way more damage to her cause than she can ever hope to help. I will not believe a word she says about any form of threat. Case of the girl who cried wolf me thinks.

Trolling has taken a dark turn in the past couple of years, it used to be creative and funny now it's just frustrated basement dwellers making terroristic threats.

Even the prank call community has gone like this lately, all shock and no wit.
