Swatting is a criminal offense. It's illegal use of emergency services and can have very real physical and mental consequences for the victim. We're probably only a couple of swatting incidents away from someone getting seriously injured or killed.

There was some guy on twitter threatening to swat gamergaters. Don't remember the guys name (someone posted a link in the comments of some article here) or anything I just wanted to point that out.

Oh fuck YOU and your endless victim complex. So what if women are 51% of the population? That has no bearing on how many of them buy games, which is next to none! And don't bother trying to trot out cooked-up statistics by the ESA that make the number of women playing games seem close to the number of men. They're…

They are not in the same industry. Use your brain maybe? One is video game development, the other is video game criticism.

Related? Yes. Same, NO!

Again, you know exactly what I am talking about. Stop twisting it. Networking is very different from becoming cozy and best friends with people you are supposed to…

Basically Sarkesian twists the truths and is a complete liar. I forget what the video is called, but in one of her videos she says that Hitman is sexist because in one part there are two women, who you aren't supposed to kill and will lose points if you kill them, and she says that it is sexist because it makes men…

My problem has always been the cover-ups, the coordinated (As much as you try to deny, we have a whole log from a group colluding to control the Zoe Quinn and GamerGate stories) attempts to control information and the attacks on people who just want you to conform better to the standards and ethics of journalism.

You…

And ultimately, you and your parent/sister sites are responsible for spreading a lot of the misinformation that this is only a one-sided harassment campaign. Individuals on both sides of the tag have been targeted in coordinated doxxing campaigns ever since the original "Zoe Post". You, as an editor, have chosen to…

Of course YOU'RE tired of GamerGate. You're one of the targets of extreme criticism GamerGate has drummed up. Your site was the catalyst that set the whole thing off, though not the only source of irreputable "gaming journalism" by a longshot. If Kotaku was the only site that hosted corrupt reviews of a game, it…

Welp, we are tired of you calling us dead and being the corrupt people you are. Have some integrity and stop pushing the feminist agenda. You are becoming an embarrassment.

No its not only her. But Kotaku has an agenda to push. The game director from Black Ops 2 at its height got 1,000's of death threats a day. No one cared then.

I've only ever followed the bit with Anita Sarkeesian and I found her videos to be rambling and poor. I found flaws like the Hitman mission, she grabbed footage from a Let's Play of the game and did not play the game herself. The player got negative buku points for killing everyone, because that's not the goal, and…

It's a reactionary hate campaign even though the overwhelming majority of supporters don't make threats or spew hate?

So, basically: "Your argument is invalid because someone else made an anonymous threat. Stop all anonymous threats if you want your argument to be taken seriously."

I've made it clear that no one deserves to have their safety threatened. I have no idea why you're clinging to that as your argument for why questionable journalistic ethics shouldn't be questioned.

This has been building for years. This isn't a response to a singular event.

Most of what is happening at this point is to derail the conversation. You cannot make any legitimate criticisms against Zoe, her game, or her relationship with Kotaku without getting lumped in with the psychos.

We live in a society that loves to find that 1% of super shitty people within any movement and automatically go on about how the entire movement is just about what those 1% do. It's fucking stupid.

So the genuine arguments about journalistic impropriety and transparency shouldn't be taken seriously by anyone because a couple psychopaths made threats?

Get over yourself. Gamergate isn't going away, and no amount of temper tantrums will change that. The fake feminists thought they could start shit with gamers, and now they're finding out that gamers don't really like being called misogynists and other names just because they ignore and/or ridicule the imbecilic…

I have a hard time figuring out exactly what GamerGate is or what the beliefs are, but there definitely seems to be evidence of improper relationships between game developers and reviewers, and collusion between reviewers. Kotaku is one of the sites that being criticized here.
