I assume the threat was "legitimate" in that it came from some 3rd party. I doubt it was serious. Too easy to send a fake threat from a fake account from anywhere in the world. Go park behind a McDonald's, open a new email account on their wifi and go send bomb threats or murder threats to your hearts content. Of course, real mass shooters can send emails too and any idiot can get a gun so... hey.

Real fucked up ole world, eh?

Cool, two people who believe that women can't tell lies and must be defended at all costs because they're weak.

What I am getting at is that we kinda let it happen. Few industries could have gotten away with the **** gaming industry does on a regular basis.
Here's the thing, if you don't play their rules, you don't get to review the game prior to launch. If you don't get to review the game prior to launch you're just one of thousands of people spamming message boards, comments sections, and making bad youtube videos. Reviewers need them more than they need reviewers, so long as that's true you'll never have honest reporting. There's nothing we can do about it, other than making it so people don't want to be video game reviewers.

Hey, maybe we could spam them with death threats? Smiley: tinfoilhat

Women don't get a good portrayal in video games, and video game reviews are ****. Both have been true since the dawn of gaming, and both are going to be true for the foreseeable future. This thing has gotten way too bogged down in internet crap to spur good change on either front.

Edit: Wow, I can still say crap here? Well that's cool.

It's like this forum is staffed by a collection of unspeakable, drooling retards.

And like five people who are fine. I'm not going to say their names, though, because this way lots of people I actually hate will think they're on it and back me up about everyone else sucking industrial hose-cock. I, uh, hope.

Gamersgate (the store) was down for the last three or four days from a series of DDOS attacks. Supposedly (word on the street) resulting from people who can't tell "Gamersgate" from "Gamergate".

I owe myself a new game. Gamers Gate (the store) has The Cave for 15 bucks (or for 15k blue coins) - same price as Steam.

Anyone played it?

The simplest explanation also tends to be wrong. Mindless platitudes and all that.

Look, again I get that the only reason you feel the need to defend her is because she is, in fact, a her, but some of us are more interested in the whole truth thing and less on someone's reproductive organs.


The only way to focus less on someone's reproductive organs is to make the assumption that they aren't a large factor, and that fundamentally removes your ability to see the whole truth.

So no, you aren't. I know you think you are, but you aren't. And the reason you think you are is because you've been actively trained by our culture to accept tenants and modes of thought that are bluntly misogynistic.

Given that we have a societal standard to doubt female victims as potential liars in all cases of violence against women in our society, when data shows that it's not the problem the average person thinks it is. And, more importantly, that this is a threat of violence against a women and women, specifically for being women, I think it's really fair to say that ovaries should probably be considered in the reasoning.


The blunt truth here is that your inference is bad. It's really, really poor. Your taking a massive intuitive leap. Yes, Sarkeesian has received death threats before. But we know next to nothing about what kinds of threats she's received, when she's received them, how they sent them, to who, etc.

These are all factors. You're using a circular argument; your equating threats she's received and then using your assumption that they should be equal to attack her for not treating this one as equal.

If you want to make an argument, make the argument that this threat is different, and then move to demonstrate why her reaction isn't appropriate.

But just relying on a past precedent of death threats, in general, makes for a pathetically weak inference.

I'd say it's the opposite. In sexual assault claims, the standard seems to be to assume the woman is telling the truth. Which is why false rape/abuse/molestation claims can be so devastating for the falsely accused. They never quite get rid of the stigma even when found innocent.

On Tumblr? Yes. In big people land? No. This isn't the police's attitude at all.

So, sure, if you want to conduct a media smear campaign against someone, rape's not a bad choice. Kiddie rape is obviously better, but hey, a smear's a smear. This doesn't mean most rape victims get a receptive audience from the police, or that they are largely successful in having their case prosecuted. Their friends and family may or may not be supportive, really depends.

The reason I'm doubting her claims is because she has a documented tendency to over-exaggerate, if not completely falsify, claims to make points. Just because she's a woman doesn't automatically mean that doubt against her is because she's a woman. The very fact that you didn't address her but her gender to make your point is pretty clear of this. I must be wrong to doubt her, not because of Anita, but because society says I should doubt women. One of us needs to reexamine their definition of equality.

I think you're coming at it backwards. In our heads 'we' (who are not judge or jury) use lots of determinants when deciding a victims credibility. I'd argue that gender, on it's own, isn't a high on the list of those even if the crime is sexual and against a person of gender.

The stigma attached to sexual crimes is greater than run-of-the-mill assaults or robberies... so there is that.

Man, don't get yourself accusing of baby-raping.

As for the Utah claims here, since the threats were sent directly to the school I really see no reason to doubt that they were made (however realistic they were). Assuming otherwise means believing not only that Sarkeesian sends out false threats but also that she decided this time that instead of sending threats to herself she would threaten a university with a mass shooting.

As I said, the fact she accepted and canceled instead of just talking about it makes me believe that there was an actual threat. The whole running from her home thing still sounds like a PR hoax, though.

I'm not convinced on the point but I really don't want to drag out five extra pages arguing about it either so I'll concede the point.
