Perhaps society, which includes our law enforcement agencies, just don’t take women being terrorized with threat of rape as seriously.

Death threats against women targeted by Gamergate and others ruined their lives for months and years on end, causing them to fear for their safety and flee their homes.

Specifically, threats are taken more seriously when they’re clearly causing physical or mental trauma. It’s obviously not the “only” time, but the police are more likely to act if the threats are signifigantly altering the victim’s life in some way. Such as if they’re too scared to leave their house, quit their jobs,…

Well, Quinn was filing charges against he ex-boyfriend, but later dropped the charges without submitting evidence to the court that he had aided or incited any third-parties into attacking her. Dunno why.

Or, they just haven’t prosecuted these specific high-profile cases, while prosecuting plenty of other instances of clear criminal harassment. It’s not so black-and-white

The FBI recently released their Gamergate file, and it contained a threat against Wu and Sarkeesian, but not Quinn for some reason. Did she report her threats? Or did they forget to include them? I’ve heard she’s gotten hundreds but don’t know if anyone’s seen them

Alan Wake talks a lot about how much he loves his wife, but really it pales in comparison to how much he obviously loves himself, and how sad he is that he can’t seem to do his damn job and write another novel.

Yeah, the Megalia4 feminist group has been associated with some pretty heinous terrorist acts, so I don’t think you should be promoting them:

There is no “moving on” with genocide. There is only our duty to remember it and to do what we can to prevent it from happening again.

Are you sure? Because jewish comedians have been satirizing the holocaust since it happened.

Did you miss the ‘subscribe to Keemstar’ part?

Did you miss the “subscribe to Keemstar” part?

Who was harmed by it? Granted, I feel sick watching any PDP video but I don’t think that qualifies as “harm”

Ironically, Mei’s body type made her unpopular among Chinese users. Not Chinese-Americans, but peoeple in China, which is a huge segment of Blizzard’s audience.

It’s basically the Tracer butt pose outrage all over again. Strangely, Kotaku is a lot more sympathetic to the people upset about a character’s asset getting change

How the heck did you guys manage to make Ted Cruz look like the cool one, even for a second? Seriously Deadspin, not even his supporters like him

More specifically, she was fired for running an escort site on the side. Publicly.

Represenation is weird, since even if she was on the spectrum she wouldn’t represent me or anyone other than herself. Come to think of it, I don’t think any fictional character represents me. I represent me

Well, if the game reflected our real-world diversity, less than 3% of the characters would be queer. And by “real-world” I mean American, outside of our western bubble the number gets even lower, unfortunately.

Yeah, but there’s a non 0 chance of him being any other brown ethnicity, including Egyptian.
