Ultra-progressive? This is the country that still censors all porn by law. Despite (or because of?) having the largest porn industry of any developed nation.

There’s no need to speculate that atheistic societies would be better off, because history has showed us time and time again that inhumane behavior still flourishes in the absence of religion.

Aonuma doesn't exactly do interview circuits so landing an interview, even a phone one, is a big deal. To be fair I enjoyed reading the stuff about Tingle's origin.

Yes, of course the people who make threats are responsible for causing emotional duress. I felt pretty shitty when I got death threats! But then I realized that those losers don't have any actual power, and that my fear was the only concession I could give them. So I stopped being bothered by it. Yes, people have…

Death threats on the internet in the same ballpark as actual physical violence? Sorry, that's where I get off the train. I sympathize to an extent, back when I was a forum administrator I got death threats from banned losers all the time. One even threatened to asphyxiate my newborn child! That was 10 years ago

"Anti" loosely refers to people who are anti-GamerGate. Roughly people who take a public stance against GG in all it's forms. Some of the more extreme antis have doxxed and publicly threatened GG members. As you can imagine, it's frustrating to see the media act like female developers are the only victims of a…

She has claimed to talk to law enforcement, but they haven't been able to take any action until she turns over some evidence of theses threats. I have no idea why she won't. I can't imagine why.

Well, technically no one in real life has acted like this

They have been. That's why a number of gaming sites have updated their policies and updated their articles to disclose more.

Law enforcement doesn't seem to find death threats made on the internet by gamers are all that credible. But what do they know?

Law and Order base most of their episodes off of real-life cases and headlines. Quinn's not the first victim to become an amalgamation on the show. She's just the first one to be bothered by it.

Haha, does she really think she can femsplain to us about the real threats? Dumb bimbo

I really wish Zoe Quinn would do something, anything to help us stop the people sending her death and rape threats. It's counter-productive for her to keep their identities and email addresses a secret. Name and shame them!

I mean, aside from complete the lack of criminal acts they're basically identical. I don't get why Gawker media is upset that SVU ripped the script from the headlines. They wrote those headlines!

This stuff fascinates me, would you mind linking me to the blog piece?

Maybe it was in connection to one of her blog pieces? That tends to happen on the internet.
