Research disagrees with you.

I'm sensitive to this whole "gamergate" thing, and I feel for Anita Sarkeesian for all the online harassment

I've seen this written elsewhere, but it rings so true: If you read this, and your first thought it, "Hey, she might just be saying this for attention!", then you're doing it wrong.

Good to know the people issuing death threats have a champion and a person willing to excuse their behavior.

The reality is that the "sides" are not equal in this, and no amount of equivocation or excuses will change that.

Listen, it sounds like you're trying to be open minded about this, but don't say these things out loud. It is so completely insane to suggest that she is doing this herself that it boggles the mind. Think about what she gains (her videos are already widely talked about and discussed, and the harassment that she gets…

Why would anyone against gamergate bother? Gamergate supporters have been doing a bang-up job of making themselves look bad to the rest of the civilized world from the very start. Anyone who spends five minutes on 8chan can see that well enough.

and a possibility other people will cling to with a desperate, feverish hope, because it allows them to claim that THEY are the real victims, not the people being threatened with death for daring to let a woman speak at their university.

I'll just wait here for the #notallgamers crowd.

I'm a gamer. I have been for thirty years now.

I'm also a heterosexual, cisgendered white male—and while I sometimes have questions or concerns about Sarkeesians methods and research practices, her message isn't off the mark at all. She's onto something, and I think…

Another night of this...

...because a threat of violence against one's person is totally a valid marketing tool.

Got it.

How is that smug? Do you want her to cower or to to keep her mouth shut?

Feel free to disagree with her views, but your comment is belittling a pretty serious situation . It's kind of crazy to go on a post where someone threatened to kill her and shoot up a school, crack your knuckles, and say "Can't wait to see who she blames for this one!"

You're an idiot.

Dude, it doesn't matter who she points the blame at. Shit like this is a reflection of us all.

By you essentially calling her a raging man-hating feminist you are perpetuating the very reason she is speaking out. You are the problem here.

"Why is it only games? Why is it only her?"

I see both covers as doing a caricature of masculinity rather than attempting to be taken seriously by wearing man clothes. How many times have men dressed up in lady clothes and doing over-the-top impersonations of women? I see it a bit as turning the tables not vengefully but in a lighthearted way. It's like in the…

I...I just...This sucks so much. Her poor family.

Now can we talk about how the entitlement complexes of certain men breed actual, real violence? Because apparently the UCSB massacre wasn't a clear enough example for some people.

Also, I'm sick of hearing that we're not supposed to discuss politics in the immediate…

It just made it that tiny bit more depressing and exasperating to me. She rejected him with patriarchy-acceptable ego-saving language and he still killed her for it.
