Massachusetts female game developer forced to flee home after receiving death threats - Polidicks

[QUOTE=Marik Bentusi;46223288]codemaster, are you seriously gonna group the guy that's probably made the most effort in this situation to speak out against creating sides and good guys VS bad guys rhetoric that distracts from the actual discussion people could be having if they stopped seeing everything in contrasts way too sharp for the nuanced opinions they're supposed to represent? Are you fucking serious[/QUOTE] didn't he tweet that "I support gamergate" image along with "at least if I die on the operating table I'll die knowing I didn't betray my audience" or something like that

[QUOTE=capital;46223043]Just like those death threats to Anita Sarkeesian that made her go to the police that the police have no record of![/QUOTE] The FBI publicly said that they were the ones investigating it. So yes, she did report it. Of course, gamergaters would never retract their slander and clear up the misconceptions they created because it's not like they're about journalistic integrity or anything.

Are you fucking serious[/QUOTE] excuse me but for the most part hes pro-GG ideas for the most part, just doesnt say he is one side or the other. Anti-GG consider him pro-GG so im considering him as pro-GG (especially when hes talked about it a ton).

I get like 4 death threats a day when i play Call of Duty on the xbox and use the Noob tube.

If they refuse, we can boycott them and pull ads from the offical gamergate website so they stop raking in profit from their terrible actions don't you worry.

Are you fucking serious[/QUOTE] Totalbiscuit strikes me as being fairly moderate, and pro-gamergate in the sense that he's for the hypothetical goal of gg - integrity and accountability in the video games industry, it's just that his livelihood requires pandering to his rabid anti-feminist anti-"SJW" audience. After all, if he didn't, he'd be one of the ones getting these death threats.

This was posted in the main thread, probably good to repost it here. [img]http://i60.tinypic.com/241ktbo.jpg[/img]

People threatened me on twitter honey we gotta abandon the house.

"#GamerGate strikes again" No it didn't.

[QUOTE=Mr. Scorpio;46223351]when has he ever pandered to "rabid anti-feminist anti-SJWs"?[/QUOTE] In his vlogs he's talked at length about being anti-SJW, when SJW has just become a catch-all term for "liberal I disagree with". [editline]13th October 2014[/editline] [QUOTE=SGTNAPALM;46223357]I wasn't aware that TB's audience was rabid.[/QUOTE] His "opponents" are rabid too, it's the video game industry. If you're not pandering to one side or the other or you're literally Hitler. It just so happens that the GG side is bigger and louder.

[QUOTE=Zeke129;46223363]In his vlogs he's talked at length about being anti-SJW, when SJW has just become a catch-all term for "liberal I disagree with".[/QUOTE] So in other words, TB is only saying the things he's saying because he's afraid of the misogynist conspiracy sending death threats and syringes and stuff to his house?

[QUOTE=Zeke129;46223306]The FBI publicly said that they were the ones investigating it. So yes, she did report it.[/QUOTE] I'd like a source on this because this is my first time hearing that. To my knowledge, the FBI hasn't said anything and people are only [I]inferring[/I] FBI involvement.

I think it's more likely that the concerns he raises are his own.

[QUOTE=KillerJaguar;46223390]I'd like a source on this because this is my first time hearing this. To my knowledge, the FBI hasn't said anything.[/QUOTE] We've been wrong before. Like with that time when it seemed like ZQ was lying about giving to charity but it turned out she was. And for the most part we came out and said "Sorry."

[QUOTE=TheJoey;46223125]here's a news article clemson university faculty receives death threats on the internet for being pro-#gg. goes completely unreported by anyone ever. [url]https://twitter.com/lizzyf620/status/521022706708664320/photo/1[/url][/QUOTE] Because it's not misogyny when men receive death threats. It's just another day.

[QUOTE=Zeke129;46223363]In his vlogs he's talked at length about being anti-SJW, when SJW has just become a catch-all term for "liberal I disagree with". [/QUOTE] Um, while a lot of people use SJW where it doesnt apply, SJW has a pretty specific original meaning (someone who uses social justice for something other than the actual issue, be that personal gain or deflection), accusations of him using it as "liberal i disagree with" don't hold water. furthermore a lot of promeneint gamergate supporters are liberal, there was a few polls in various places where people descibed their views, GG turns out to be around 70% self described liberals. The only ones attempting to make this a partisan issue are anti gamergate news sites and SJWs who are so far extreme that anything else looks far right. also i edited that earlier post but didnt edit it fast enough, anyways it quoted one of your posts.

Why is Spess trying to be MaxOfS2D

[QUOTE=KillerJaguar;46223428]Because it's not misogyny when men receive death threats. It's just another day.[/QUOTE] ...But it's not misogyny. Misogyny is hatred of women. :v:

i got death threats from someone who might maybe could be a gamergate supporter better tweet about it in order to push my agenda

[QUOTE=KillerJaguar;46223428]Because it's not misogyny when men receive death threats. It's just another day.[/QUOTE] correct that's misandry

[QUOTE=Zeke129;46223306]The FBI publicly said that they were the ones investigating it. So yes, she did report it.

It's the CP that was sent to her that got them involved.

[QUOTE=G-Strogg;46223448]Considering both sides say this, it probably means they are about as big.[/QUOTE] my observation is that GG side probably has more actual relevant people but anti-gg has a huge news network they're using the spread misinformation and gain more and more people, especially in the uninvolved public

lol not even a page before peoplee tried to bargain against the op's claim from every angle "Everyone gets death threats" "Women in game design deny mysoginy exists" "Another woman already lied about this so this one probably did too" pedants

[QUOTE=Ownederd;46223346]And? not every situation that involves stuff like this is the same.[/QUOTE] They are just about as substantial.

[QUOTE=Kommodore;46223483]lol not even a page and people have tried to bargain against the op's claim from every angle[/QUOTE] oh im sorry what was OP claiming. That these death threats are significant? That gamergate is evil? I don't think direct refutations to those things count as being pedantic.

EDIT// Seriously, that fucking title. It's like I'm reading a bloody editorial.// Also, if you looked in to it, you'd know that the threats are more from SA than GG.
