I'm kindof on the same boat... I mean, I may disagree with the woman on some of the finer points, but these threats do nothing but lend credibility to her cause - I would not even know she had spoken there if it weren't for the threats.

This is why I am skeptical; it's really just getting her more press than hurting…

probably because she's full of it. maybe 10-15% of what she says actually checks out. the rest are extreme exaggerations.

granted ... i stopped following her when i saw her criticism of hitman absolution i think ... a game where you can kill or not kill - depending on how you want to play it, where probably 90% of all…

Really? Did no one care then? Because it seems we wrote about that exact event more than once, along with others.

That's interesting to know, do you have a source on that? Because if that's true, it does seem like Kotaku has a weird agenda to push with Anita.

I mean sure, bomb threats are terrible in any form. But does it not bug anyone else that shes all smug on twitter like "today is the 3rd time ive faced the odds and went on stage anyway!! GO ME!" Im not condoning anything but it just irks me the wrong way putting something like that on twitter.

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'm starting to feel incredelous about all of this. Like we're going to get an article a year or two down the line that all of these threats were faked.

I honestly don't believe this. Like seriously, I don't believe it. I don't know if I've just been blind, but when has this happened for any other activists for any other kind of media? Why is it only games? Why is it only her?

I love how the 'right side' in this dicussion is supposed to be represented by someone who throws out such bullshit as notions of what makes a "Real man" Words classified by activists as misogynitic slurs, ableist slurs, attempted gender role reinforcement, and a dash of probably assumed virgin shaming.

Sorry, as a *real* man, I'm going to believe the girl who created the kick ass game I'm playing on my 6Plus instead of you MRA/Gamergate little bitches that cry and get psychopathic about everything because you all have no "game" (pun intended) with ladies.

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.

...except it initially started as an attack on Zoe Quinn, and not the publication entire—but, shit, facts. Who cares about those in the face of infantile emotional distress?

Feel free to replace "infinite" with "arbitrarily large."

So there's really just one thing I want to know...

I appreciate you wanting to appeal to that "scientist" in yourself, but everything is not science. This is not an experiment.

I might if people were actually threatening her. But that's just people on the internet being people on the internet. Threats are the new form of saying "I disagree with what you're saying". And I still haven't actually seen any of these so called threats she's getting.

I didn't say it had nothing to do with her being a woman (women do definitely get attacked in this manner more often). Or that's how the internet is (though to be fair that's how a vocal minority of it responds to everything they take issue with). I said that people threatening her doesn't in and of it self prove a…

'Anyone who has ever had an opinion on anything ever' didn't get paid $160,000 as a journalist to state it. I expect something a little more comprehensive than what I read on tumblr every day.

Something tells me you're religious.
