Everyone's favorite, media princess, Anita Sarkeesian got her "Preach to the choir about how men are the salt of the Earth" session interrupted by a death threat. This seems pretty par for the course for her as she claims to get these daily, but low and behold only actually produce them when it's extremely convenient to her, such as when she's raising money to do a project or when said project is losing it's grasp on common folk and she needs to ripple the water to get back into the main stream. No death threat should be taken lightly. It seems though that when people want to kill public figures... they just do it and not make it known to the world that it's going to happen. I'm sure Lee Harvey Oswald wasn't at his favorite diner before shooting JFK, bragging about how he had plans to kill the president that day. The Columbine shooters weren't talking about it before doing it that I recall. That Sandy Hook shooter didn't leave a blog post up before shooting kids. The threat involved was similar in nature to that guy from CA that went off and killed a bunch of people. Who makes manifestos anymore? This guy saw what the shooter in LA did. Copied his favorite bits to make it seem threatening enough, and sent it in to keep Anita from showing up. I doubt he had murderous intent. But here comes Anti-Gamers using this to further the idea that all gamers are sad, virgin, neckbeard, sociopaths. No. NO! Bad internets! BAD! You do not go making assumptions based on singular people, who, might I add, never even mentions Gamergate in his little poem. Because when WE try to pull that on Feminists. They sure as hell smack down immediately and make it well known that not all people who label themselves as feminists speak for feminism.
So we male, gamers would appreciate it greatly if you stop it with your hypocricy for thirty seconds and make it well known that this dude doesn't speak for all men/gamers in accordance to your own social justice rules. Because if "Big Red", one of the most popular tropes of your ilk, "Doesn't speak for all feminists". Then how could you sit there and claim this person who wrote out the threat speaks for all of us?
Get the fuck out of our hobby and then maybe we gamers could get back to playing games with anyone who enjoys them. Male, Female, Black, White, whoever. We could do that again without you turning it into another social justice warrior weapon for your back asswards cause.
You douchebags fucking killed comedy. One of my great escapes from your bullshit. Only a matter of time before you kill gaming too judging by the way you work.
I'm going to go play super smash bros. for 3DS now. Is that okay, feminists? Should I check my privledge first before playing my game that has no god damned connection with misogyny what-so-ever, or do you wanna look at it for three seconds and make one up before I start?
