Did she even get skinny shamed? The quote said she imagined what the lady in the waiting room was thinking, if she didn't actually say anything this might be a classic case of projection.

Go on Gamergate, exploit Islamophobia to help prop up a misogyny campaign made up primarily of white kids. It's the classiest move you can possibly make, and it definitely doesn't come off as a cowardly attempt to change the subject. Go on, do it.

Yeah, that's a pretty shitty comparison. One is a religion that wasn't founded on violence, the other is a group founded on the sole principle that women are horrible and should be vilified.

You're literally commenting on an article about how women are still being chased from their homes by gaters today. And you're pretending that's in the past? That the "movement" has "evolved"?

It might be time for a rebranding, friend. The term gamergate is toxic. If you're TRULY only concerned with journalistic standards within the gaming community, you're going to need a new name, because a few bad apples have spoiled your barrel.

The police later confirmed the threats were real (records changed due to the case being referred for special investigation), and then someone rang in a bomb threat to prevent her collecting an award. FBI is now handling it. Research, indeed.

No, actually just 30 seconds on google shows that she did file a police report and that the issue was passed to the FBI.

Oh, for crying out loud. So, someone who wanted to make death threats at someone wouldn't think about creating a handle to do just that? I'd totally be with you on wanting to assume that whoever would make these death threats is so stupid they'd use their actual Twitter handle, but that would just be too perfect a…

Well she said ""I was literally watching 8chan go after me in their specific chatroom for Gamergate," she told Kotaku today. "They posted my address, and within moments I got that death threat." - so.. That pretty much answers why she thinks it's related.

Fuck gaters.

? You've been reading selectively then. Kotaku specifically have mentioned journalistic ethics on multiple occasions since this all blew up. Some of the things GG (and milo) are obsessing over would make for ridiculous stories anyway. XD

As sad as it sounds, but this will never, EVER end. I mean how exactly are you supposed to take this problem on?

...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?

Is there anything creepier and sadder than a person pining for a someone they dated when they were 14, while the other person has gone through a marriage, child birth and divorce?

I know it was just a character, but the dad on 7th Heaven eerily reminded me of every single "youth" pastor I've ever met. You know the one who tries to be so hip and cool and with it.

Hey man, there's like 2 million black NYers that have yet to be killed or beaten. YOU find the time to do all this stuff at once.

I wonder if someone in the police department or connected to it was frustrated by the total lack of action, considering they've had the tape for TWO YEARS, and so leaked it to get some pressure going.

Maybe the church can step in and move him to another town where he can be the dad on another show.

"According to E Online, reruns of 7th Heaven, which starred Collins as a father and pastor, have been pulled from UP TV."

13 year old me got a deep pleasure out of hate-watching it. It was on ABCFamily 3p-4p and I got out of school at 3:30. I would literally rush home so I could catch the last twenty minutes of the episode and just sit there reflecting on everything I haaaaaated about the show. Obviously I was a totally normal and super…
