Well that's what the "social justice warriors" are complaining about.
Oh good, another one. Please point to where I said it's OK to threaten to rape or kill anyone.
If you can do that, I'll concede that I am a horrible person.
What's disturbing about SJW as a pejorative is how it dehumanizes us. It turns us into faceless Stormtroopers - enemies to be attacked.
The only difference in 8chan/#gamergate and the asshole Southern racists I grew up surrounded by is they had the balls to leave the house.
#GamerGate is best described as a sexist temper-tantrum targeting women, feminists, and allies working for change in the games industry.
Deeply unimpressed by @GaymerX still defending G****gate in their "apology." STOP LEGITIMIZING A HATE MOVEMENT.
Stop tapdancing and answer the question. Where did I say it was OK? You accused me, now put up or shut up.
Also, the SJWs are not complaining about credible threats. If that asshole that threatened her is found and locked up, then good riddance to him. But the SJWs have taken it beyond going after the guilty, and labeled anyone who doesn't fall lockstep with their views as a woman hating misogynist.

But apparently she and others have no problem using pejoratives against gamers to them into faceless enemies.
So she maligns an entire group of people, then when one nutjob threatens her, it proves she was right about the entire group she just maligned? Yeah, that's sensible.
'I was threatened on the Internet' is the new sex tape. It's a springboard. She's already done an interview and a roundtable. I'm sure there'll be more appearances.
Look I don't give a shit about your spat with the scary mean girls that are picking on you, it's when it crosses the line into threats of violence that it becomes a problem.
If people can't disagree with a bunch of girls without having to go down to that level then there is really something wrong with them.
Are you drunk? All I've been talking about is the threats of violence.Keep moving them goalposts!
Are you drunk? All I've been talking about is the threats of violence.
Nobody (outside of a self absorbed Internet bubble) cares about the silly little arguments about whether the gaming press is corrupt or biased or if some girls said something mean to you, what the real world cares about is when that argument spills over into real threats.
Unless the official manifesto of a movement is founded in hate, it’s ridiculous to argue that misogynistic statements alongside a popular hashtag on Twitter amounts to organized discrimination—even more so when anyone can tweet "#GamerGate" and the argument is based solely on the cherry-picked statements of a minority of participants.
The result of this type of irresponsible, one-sided "journalism" is that anyone who shows even the slightest dissent of opinion is automatically identified by the writer as being driven by hate. It's a common method of deflection used by people whose buttons have been pushed when their underhanded dealings are exposed, and it's damning of the gaming reporters who participate in it.
She really thinks someone is gonna come to her house and kill her? Because of video games? Lawl.
What we have here is an out of control ego + victim complex.
^^^^ That's money, right there.
Another SJW who is attacking literally MILLIONS of gamers is super surprised when a handful of them start sending them threats. I have no sympathy for her, in the end she chose to engage by being vocal in a public space, she wanted an audience and now she has one.
If I walked into the favourite pub of the home team for a football club in their own city, and I shouted at the top of my lungs "HEY YOU'RE ALL C***S AND YOUR TEAM F*****G SUCKS!" it's all but a certainty that one of the fans would walk up to me and break my nose, or much worse. Does that mean the entire pub full of people are hateful idiots? No, but we all understand that if you piss off a room full of people it's likely one person will take it too far, and that person doesn't represent everyone there.
When you deliberately piss off a huge section of the population with your SJW and femnazi bullshit and this is the response you get, it's demonstrably the response you get, we know it happens, it's not some huge secret, we've seen this with feminists like Rebecca Watson when they invaded Atheism and she had to go into hiding and then with Anita Sarkeesian and now again.
Just like every single "twitter threat" before them they're not actual credible threats, and historically nothing ever happens, it's just the same trolls that have been trolling people for years, and it's a waste of police and FBI time because these trolls are tech savvy and know how to use Onion Routing and Proxies to mask their identity which makes an investigation pretty much pointless.

This.
If you know nothing about the group you are gonna hate on or just don't care then you'll get whats coming to you. Welcome to the real world, that's how it is. Its the online version of this:
probably nsfw but if you've seen die hard 3...

SJW's, The Internet, Whatever BS they spew on twitter!
Same thing.
http://www.twitlonger.com/show/n_1sd042vHere is some advice of what to do if you receive a death threat via Twitter or email. I give this from the position of someone who received death threats on a monthly basis, of varying degrees and is as of yet, not actually dead. Unfortunately, any kind of online presence comes with it the possibility that someone will do something stupid. It can be for any reason, even the most innocuous. It can be for no reason at all. People act in ways online they never would in real life and way exactly that is is not yet fully understood. Here's what we haven't done however.
Do not publicize the threat. This is advice given by law enforcement agencies for a couple of reasons. There is no actual benefit to publicizing the threat. People online can't protect you if the threat is real, telling them serves no practical purpose. If the threat is real, then it is designed to terrify you, by posting the threat and acknowledging it publicly, you hand victory to the person who sent it. If it is merely a stupid troll, then once again you hand victory to them by giving them attention. The only reliable way to deal with unpleasant people online is to starve them of oxygen and the attention they crave.
The other reason not to publicize the threat is that it encourages copycat behavior. Other assholes feel emboldened by the actions of the one and may decide to go after you or others. That level of hostility is a virus that is easily spread. The tiny, tiny minority of psychos that send death threats are looking to create a culture of fear. You enable them when you spread their message. This becomes more true the more followers you have, you become their weapon through your online presence.
It may seem comforting to receive support from online peers by letting them know you have been attacked, but that support is fleeting and ultimately of no actual worth. After reporting the threats to the police and to the medium they were sent through (twitter, email provider etc) meet up with friends, hang around with real people that can make you feel safe. You may think that the solution to the isolation you feel is to tell the world, but really it's to spend time with people you trust and remember that there is a fairly huge difference between online death threats which are in the vast majority of circumstances, psycho trolls and someone who is actually out to kill you.
Lastly, do not and I really mean this, do not use something like this as an opportunity to demonize a group. You beget more evil by doing this. These actions are almost universally performed by lone online psychos. More often than not they are looking to provoke conflict of some sort, if they can get you and a group fighting over something that frankly neither of you had any part in to begin with, that's a great victory. The person who sent those threats to Ms Wu tonight is no doubt celebrating, they got more than they could have ever dreamed of out of their little stunt. Of course, in an ideal world that person is arrested, but we know how difficult it truly is to track someone like that down. Burner Twitter accounts are just that. For all we know, every death threat in the history of Twitter was sent by one guy.
I understand receiving death threats can be frightening and I don't blame anyone who acts out of emotion when it happens, but please understand that the people that send these are looking to do maximum damage to as many people as possible. Think very carefully before enabling their behavior.
And her entire problem lies in this statement: "You have players which are taking in these unconscious messages women are not welcome here, this is our turf, this is our space and then as a result of that we have a very hostile culture toward women,"
She isn't talking about idiots who make death threats on twitter; she is talking about all gamers. She is pushing that because 3 women were attacked, all women are attacked and all male gamers are a part of it.
