Yep. you’ve got it. That’s why we all stand around dumbfounded when conservatives get the most vile bullshit laws passed, especially the ones that are so transparent in their aims (i.e. yeah buddy, I’m sure all those extra restrictions on abortion clinics are really about women's safety *makes jacking off motion*).…

Well, it wouldn’t be a coincidence if there were any instances of GG members encouraging, organizing, or instructing each other to send threats. But there aren’t any. The few who did acted on their own and can be counted on one hand.

Ah. Ok. Thanks.

Not according to a quick Google search it isn’t. http://www.theverge.com/2015/1/4/74905…

Please tell me that the police have the tools to track this asshole down and make him pay. At least public humiliation and ridicule should be a consequence. He tried to get her or her family killed by hoping for one trigger happy cop.

I don’t care what the NRA says. Long guns is an antiseptic term devoid of meaning for most normal people. Assault rifles is the phrase to use.

The bigger problem, as i see, is that you don’t need to be on the wrong end of some GGers, for that to happen. You just need to be on the wrong end of a swat team and their tactics, whether the call on your house was a malicious lie to the police, an administrative error or a detective work error (or even not an error…

Are we surprised? This is pretty much their modus operandi (to be fair it’s becoming a pretty big issue in the gaming community in general).

White people or males were never mentioned. It’s lazy, biased journalism. If you don’t care, thats all well and good. We’ll be having our second yearly conference with the Society of Professional Journalists in March, who command a far greater respect than sites like Gawker. That is, unless we get more bomb threats…

So now it’s statutory as well, then?

Reg Tidswell raped me in college. I don’t have to provide proof, because the people asking for proof are foaming at the mouth.

Weren’t there bomb threats and death threats made against gamergate supporters? Frankly, I’ve kept my distance from the whole shit show, but I remember them complaining about the same thing.

I wasn’t aware that asking for a connection was “frothing at the mouth.”

To my knowledge no incident of Swatting has resulted in a death. It would be kind of a big deal if it did, almost certainly resulting in a lot of media coverage and likely the prosecution of the person who initiated it.

Do you have any proof what so ever that this had anything to do with GG? Because r/kotakuinaction only heard about this today, and there isn’t anything on 8ch about it at all. Or twitter.

I've encountered, no joke, several posts on social media talking about how all the women cast just "aren't funny." On one in particular, several women agreed that Kristen Wiig and Melissa McCarthy aren't funny (I MEAN WTF?!?!?) and the OP was like, "See, this is good, women are saying this so it's not just about dudes…

I thing the four ladies picked are hilarious. I also loved Ghostbusters. But, I admit, I don't understand (other than the standard "Hollywood has run out of ideas") why these four ladies couldn't make a NEW movie that becomes iconic instead of a re-do, which will inevitably not be as good because in our collective…

There's nothing wrong with remaking Ghostbusters with an all-ladeez cast.

Neither have I. Though I know a few (myself included) who are disappointed by WHO they cast, not necessarily that they're women.

Are there any actual human beings that are upset about this, because I haven't met any?
