@femfreq @TomChivers sorry mate, that is horrific but I don't have any context for it whatsoever..?

@TheSimonEvans sorry, thought it was widely known. Anita Sarkeesian made some videos about misogyny in video gameshttp://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 can certainly imagine, perhaps prejudicially, that it's a particularly damp little cave full of the stuff. -
@TheSimonEvans@TomChivers more women gamers than men now. They just don't feel the need to threaten to rape anyone whilst doing so. - View other replies

@edmorrish@TheSimonEvans@TomChivers Isn't that statistic skewed by the inclusion of scores who play online bingo? - View other replies

@femfreq@ashleyesqueda Wow. Some people are truly deranged. -
@DavidDiFranco@femfreq It’s deeply unsettling to see ANYONE, man or woman, treated like this. -
@ashleyesqueda@femfreq I really don't get it… I could NEVER talk to another person like that. - View other replies
-
@DavidDiFranco@femfreq To people like that, she’s not a person. Which is a big part of the problem, IMHO -
@ashleyesqueda@femfreq Yeah, people like that need some serious help.

@femfreq This is an actual, according-to-Hoyle violent threat. Nothing theoretical or metaphorical about it. There should be legal remedies. - View other replies

@mattzollerseitz Have you read Amanda Hess' Pacific Standard piece on how hard it is to get the cops to act even w/ these sorts of threats? -
@AlyssaRosenberg No, but I will now. - View other replies

@mattzollerseitz@AlyssaRosenberg Definitely do. It's a great piece.
