Seriously??? Did you even read the article? You pretty much verbatim described Case Study #1.

Taunting is saying IN A GAME "I'm going to beat you". Real Death Threats don't constitute "taunting". There is a reason people do it anonymously, cause there are real issues with it.

I fully expected to see this here but it's still depressing to be correct.

This is not "taunting". Threats of rape and violence are criminal acts.

If you think you have a case, file charges.

But that would be inconvenient if you made up the fiction of harassment to push your agenda or sell your product, wouldn't it?

The cops (not to mention the services themselves - Twitter will close abuse reports if the tweets referenced were deleted, despite undoubtedly having a record of them) have a long history of not taking online harassment seriously.

What product is being promoted by this article, incidentally?

Twitter is not the police. You file charges with the police. Twitter has no authority or responsibility to file charges on your behalf.

Sarkeesian alone earned hundreds of thousands of dollars using the fiction of harassment. I'd love to see a police investigation into the veracity of her claims of being threatened. Considering how her claims of being a lifelong gamer were exposed as a complete fraud, I think we all know how her claims of being threatened will turn out.

Police have a long history of not standing up for victims, too. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adrian_Schoolcraft, where a NYC cop was forcibly committed to a psych facility for recording evidence that his precinct was discouraging victims from formally reporting crimes to keep stats down.

Calling Sarkeesian's harassment a fiction appears to fly in the face of all available evidence. Lots of cites at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anita_Sarkeesian for it.

One example is not a long history, and evidence not properly investigated by law enforcement is not legally admissible -- or credible -- evidence.

Doesn't it seem odd to you that not a single one of these shrill feminists complaining about rape and death threats ever goes to the police? Not one?

How are we to know that they're telling the truth, when they have so much to gain from lying, and they're caught lying all the time, anyway -- as Sarkeesian herself was?

Just in case you don't know, you're part of the problem.

I think maybe you did not read the article and assumed it's about women who play competitive games, not professionals who work in the video game industry and experience fairly shocking levels of abuse.

You should stop posting here because you have a small dick.

Am I doing it right?

>Am I doing it right?

Maybe. But I couldn't care less what some anonymous dude on the internet thinks about my penis. Won't even skip a beat.

Am I doing it wrong?

You're not OP. I was talking to OP. Do you agree when he wrote, "Get over it. If you can't get over it, don't play with people you don't know."?

I agree wholeheartedly with hnnewguy.

He doesn't care. I don't care. Nobody cares.

Our complete and utter lack of an emotional reaction to your attempt to provoke is conclusive evidence that this sort of thing is simply not a big deal.

You are just wrong.

Grow up already.
