What does this have to do with gamergate? If you've never seen guy/gal on guy death threats/doxxing, then I'd say you're just being will fully ignorant.

I can be ignorant without being wilful about it :) TBH, I avoid forums where that kind of thing goes on.

But what I'm doing here is drawing parallels between large groups of people self-organizing against a prominent, successful person.

A few examples come immediately to mind: Adam Orth, Tim Hunt, donglegate, and shirtgate.

It's interesting that (except for Adam Orth) the men involved, who were factually the victims of massive harassment, were portrayed as the villains by most of the media for minor infractions of progressive political values.

Edit: Just found another, an electoral college member who received death threats for voting for Trump (as he was required to).
