    Some knobhead made a death threat to a Uni where Anita was gonna speak. If the person thought it would make her go away they have just achieved the exact opposite. If a woman needs an armed escort just to speak on feminist issues in gaming... that lends huge authority and credibility to the misogyny narrative.

      Editing … And yet they lump all gamers together with idiots like these. She loves it though, because she can keep milking this gaming controversy for all its worth.

      Editing … A lot of people are because of how she misrepresents games and our culture. There's footage of her saying she doesn't actually play games etc. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Afgtd8ZsXzI So there's a certain amount of dishonesty surrounding her delivery. That doesn't mean she has no valid points, but it does fuel cynicism. She shouldn't receive death threats though, that just insults freedom of speech and validates her position.

      Editing … Yeah she shouldn't receive death threats. But neither should anyone else who's famous. If you're a public figure you going to receive death threats. Newsflash their are crazy stupid assholes in the world.

      Editing … Why so evasive all of a sudden? Did my question make you feel uncomfortable? - "Tell me what you think GG is really about": Is this a trick question? It's about frustrated people, on both sides of the "debate". 'And that's all I have to say about that'.

      Editing … Gries is enjoying this too much. At this rate he will be as biased as those gamers he's siding against.
