@femfreq @TomChivers sorry mate, that is horrific but I don't have any context for it whatsoever..?
I usually don’t share the really scary stuff. But it’s important for folks to know how bad it gets [TRIGGER WARNING] pic.twitter.com/u6b3i0fysI

@TheSimonEvans sorry, thought it was widely known. Anita Sarkeesian made some videos about misogyny in video games http://www.polygon.com/2014/8/27/6075679/sarkeesian-driven-out-of-home-by-online-abuse-and-death-threats … -
@TheSimonEvans …and received a fantastically appalling torrent of abuse/rape threats/etc. One of the worst examples of online misogyny. -
@TomChivers OK, thanks. I had been vaguely aware of it but, must admit, I have zero interest in video games so didn't read into it. cheers. -
@TheSimonEvans am not a diehard gamer but am interested because "women in games" has become a symbolic battleground of wider online misogyny - View other replies

@TomChivers I forget what a massive industry it is, of course, not a damp little cave at all. It's remarkable how invisible it is to me. -
@TheSimonEvans massive, and of course increasingly used by adults of both sexes; but still, perhaps, too well served with adolescent boys

@femfreq I don't understand why stuff like this doesn't trigger an automatic IP ID by Twitter followed by a 911 call to local cops. - View other replies

@mattzollerseitz@mattfraction@femfreq partly because this type of thing happens constantly- cops mostly don't take it seriously. -
@SirLanik@mattfraction@femfreq Seems that if cops took it more seriously it wouldn't happen as often, but what do I know? -
@mattzollerseitz@mattfraction@femfreq I guess I mean in falls into a "not feasible to respond to all" level of occurrence. - Show more
