Those are probably faked, right? Or it's only fake when it doesn't support the narrative you choose to believe?

It's quite clear: the victims of the "GamerGate" movement received death threats, so GamerGate supporters faked receiving death threats to make the other side also look bad. See? It's easy to manufacture an unverifiable tale to advance an agenda.

Yes, because as we've seen, law enforcement often takes anonymous death threats seriously.

What's your point?
