You just KNOW if they stayed put and then ended up murdered people would be yelling "whyyyyyyy didn't she just leave???"

What this troll wanted her to do is exactly what should be done in these circumstances. She would be an idiot to make potentially dangerous decisions just for the sake of trying not to let a troll "win".

I'm sorry, no. Though some of the individual, out-of-context things in that list might be, in part, factually true, presenting them as a timeline? No way. If your "timeline" leaves out how this whole thing started — with an ungodly-long , unhinged screed by a guy who decides, halfway through, to compare his…

thank you for your input, you've helped millions make informed decisions on death threats.

Suppose for a moment I ran into you on the street and pulled a gun on you, pointing it at your head. Would I still be clear of any wrongdoing even if I didn't pull the trigger? Of course not, because whether or not I shot you I still lashed out at you with malicious intent. I didn't kill you, sure; but I still put you…

Jesus Christ. The text-wall mansplainy cluelessness burns. Pretty much anyone who's ever had a stalker or who actually has an ounce of basic experience with how stalkers escalate, knows better. And even people without that experience, but with an ounce of human empathy and emotional intelligence, know that…

Read about mob lynchings, read about people who smash and loot stores in the middle of protests; large disorganized movements will always have a few opportunistic jackals taking advantage of the situation for their own ends and gain. Problem is, much of everything I've seen that defines "gamergate" is essentially…

Stop trying to silence and discredit any sort of defense against hate please. Regardless of any sort of flimsy conspiratorial theory on motivations, perhaps anyone should have right to speak out against threats of rape and murder.

You gamers just need to grow up and get some priorities. End of story.

Guy, that is the very fucking definition of 'misogyny'...

You're literally commenting on an article about how women are still being chased from their homes by gaters today. And you're pretending that's in the past? That the "movement" has "evolved"?

I'll give you an alternate version of your timeline:

She thinks it's directly linked to her commentary on harassment within the GG movement, and that it was noted in a chat room before she was threatened. All things considered, she's probably right. I doubt people would target her simply because she's a female dev... These assholes are fine unless a woman dares have a…

Right, if you want an example that gamergate is nothing more than misogynist propoganda, look no further than Christina Hoff Sommer's infuriating video, defending "gamers" and attacking women. When a right wing think tank takes your side, it's time to rethink your entire fucking life.

The moment that video was posted,…

Considering how many times he mentioned feminism in his tweets, yeah. I'm saying he went batshit like that because she "has a vagina," as you so classily put it.

What the fuck is wrong with you people.

Fuck gaters.

I think The Verge finally hit the nail on the head by calling out GamerGate for what it is: a right-wing movement. Adam Baldwin, an outspoken conservative, coining the hashtag that people use to harass women, or cite Breitbart.com and other right-wing pundits, or post videos of conservative think tanks like American…

That's the problem with the movement, though. If it were about journalistic integrity, we'd be squalling about the reviews for Call of Duty: Same Shit, More Zombies, or Madden X: Look, We Changed the Jersey Numbers.

...we're not, though. Nobody's really bitching in a meaningful way about Destiny: It's Totally Fucking…

Oh, so you're admitting now gamergate was born as a smear job against Quinn and Kotaku critic Nathan Grayson? Hmmm....No. The threats stop first.
