What are you, fucking new? This is a gawker piece, not the academic article she was going to publish. She's saying her planned article (with peer-reviewed, IRB involved methods) was compromised intentionally. Fail harder at your your reading comprehension (and clear lack of post-high school education) you dozy fink.

Yeah, you missed the point.... Sadly: Fucking typical and based in self-defeating logic...

Yeah... Maybe it's time people like you, who claim integrity in your cause, should let go of the ridiculous "#Gamergate" banner. There's no longer any integrity in its use.

So... Not much for reading comprehension, is ya?

I don't think anyone is leaving their house because of comments left on an article. I think it has more to do with publishing people's addresses and assuring them that they will be raped and their families murdered for doing things like releasing video games they designed or writing articles questioning the motives of…

Wait, YOU want to compare #gamergate trolls with feminists? You think THOSE two groups are somehow analogous? Show me how male gamers are being oppressed or held down by feminism, you know, the way women have been in a patriarchal society since, gee, I don't know, basically the entirety of human history?

All right then, name a feminist, any feminist at all, of any age or era, that threatened to rape a person that disagreed with them. For that matter, provide any citation of any "mainstream media" outlet that referred to feminists as a hate group and why they did so. I'll wait.

You don't understand, if the women don't agree with the gamers, she's a fake gamer girl and therefore... is wrong and... deserves death threats? I was trying to be sarcastic but it got really real... I don't... *blinks*

Can you and the rest of the gaming enthusiasts who came here to disagree with the article at least come up with the same thing to actually blame GamerGate on? You say it was Kotaku, somebody else claims Ubisoft, a lot of people blaming feminism. Get your stories straight, guys. It's almost making you look like you…

I don't even think she threatened to kill anybody in particular.

I'm imagining how they'd cling to your limbs with their noodly arms, bogging you down like whiny teen quicksand.

I've noticed a lot of extremely confused people trying to argue that Gamergate actually has nothing to do with "who Zoe Quinn fucked"and that it's actually the evil "Social Justice Warriors" who keep bringing it up and pretending it's about that to draw attention away from the fact that they have seized control of all…

Funny how all the gamergate defenders never ever mentione the death of the rape threats.

More likely the power of the whining would be pretty overwhelming.

Here's my thing: these people claim they support "women gamers" but they seem to be trying to shout down any female in the gaming scene they can find. Basically they will accept female gamers if they are "one of them" but if you arent? Well, screw you.

I don't recall Gloria Steinem threatening to rape anyone.

Releasing home addresses of women and deluging them with rape and death threats is not what I would call pedantic mocking. But you know, whatever, suck my dick.

NPR did a story on #Gamergate a few weeks ago, framing it as a "debate" about women in video games. Yes, a debate (where they discuss rape and death threats... as debate). I have never been so incensed by a story that NPR developed. It was truly disappointing, but demonstrated clearly the lack of awareness…

They are a hate group. I don't see how people can believe people find that hard to believe, when they are fully aware whites once lynched people of color on trumped-up bullshit. Not too many years ago we hung people based on their race, and people don't think men are capable of hating women enough to threaten them?…

The reason why people still attach themselves to Gamergate name and not to a new movement without the history of Gamergate, is not because of a wish to see ethical journalism, but because of (at the very least) subconscious misogyny.
