I don't understand how so many people are convinced she's making all of these threats up. She's had to contact the police over them. If they were fake, she could get into all sorts of legal trouble. Read more
First thing I noticed in the comments on the site where I first read this story:
"THERE'S NO EVIDENCE THIS IS A GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMER!"
Y'know, when the article said nothing about gamers. Methinks the commenters doth protest too much(eth). Also, who the hell else is going to be this foaming-at-the-mouth pissed… Read more

It is remarkable to me how quickly they come. They must have alerts set up on her name so they can show up and be childish. I'm so fucking sick of reading their bullshit. Video games. They're threatening to murder people over video games. Jesus Christ. Go volunteer, go see people with ACTUAL problems. Read more
You don't know that with certainty. Someone with the proper permits would never shoot her? That's overly simplistic thinking. One can obey some laws and not others. I think she was brave to even consider speaking. She has had her life threatened many times and continues to advocate. Read more

Really super excited for the trolls that plan on showing up and spouting nonsense about how she's "making this up" and "playing the victim". Read more
She may not be willing to take that risk. And she may not be willing to put the attendees at that kind of risk, even if it didn't bother her. Read more
It's so mature how they are telling each other they look like the opposite gender. It makes you want to say, "Kids, if you don't stop calling each other names, so help me God I will turn this car around. And then no one gets gin OR juice. Let alone indo. Do you understand me?" Read more
See my reply to his comment. We not only covered that story when it happened, it's also been referenced in other stories we've posted about harassment. Read more
Really? Did no one care then? Because it seems we wrote about that exact event more than once, along with others. Read more
Dude, it doesn't matter who she points the blame at. Shit like this is a reflection of us all.
By you essentially calling her a raging man-hating feminist you are perpetuating the very reason she is speaking out. You are the problem here. Read more
this shit is out of hand. Read more
Gjoni's post was profoundly deranged. There is very little getting around that. Seriously, read the damn thing: it is a masterwork in the theme of woe is me, for I is dumped, and my girlfriend is a whore.
Zoe Quinn ain't good people. But holy fucking shit talk about your disproportionate responses. Read more

I only watched the Pilot to see how dumb it would be. And then it. Blew. My. Mind.
But Thompson wanted to restrict video games legally. She is just critiquing them for sexism, like thousands of people do for books and movies everyday. And I'm pretty sure Thompson didn't have a sustained campaign of harassment thrown at him, but then again the internet was younger then and gamers are more horrible… Read more
The dude wrote a multi-page wankfest designed to ruin his ex's name and spammed it to tons of message boards until people finally took notice and attacked his ex. He deserves everything he gets. So what if your ex was horrible, unless they did something criminal to you, you don't solicit the internet in an attempt to… Read more
I tweeted about #GamerGate and within 1 minute had 7 notifications from Pro-Gamergaters sending me links and telling me I'd probably been "mis-informed by biased journalists." With that sort of response I was honestly scared to engage them. Read more
Okay, seriously. What in the actual fuck, folks?
I teach English at the college level; last year, I was privileged to teach ENG 230, which at my institution is a rotating (through the faculty) course that is generously labeled "Special Topics in Literature."
I taught my course, for two semesters, as "Gaming: Literary… Read more
