The crazy death threat people are 4channers. They're not actual people concerned about video game journalism.

The real problem is people don't realize that Anyone can call themself a gamer gate activist, or a feminist, or anonymouse, or al quada.. They don't need to have any kind of affiliation or share any views. and this happens online more than in person due to only having a virtual presence.

One might suggest that a movement that refuses to police itself is deliberately courting such plausible deniability. [1] Or one might mention all of the people with documented links to both harassment and the hashtag.[2]

> They're not actual people concerned about video game journalism.

I agree with you! Pity that so many of them seem to keep saying that they are concerned with journalism, instead of just admitting what they are doing.

Perhaps you didn't hear about the time when someone created a new board on 8chan specifically to harass Brianna Wu, and the Leaders of Gamergate from the /gg/ board went and flooded the new board with nonsense until mods woke up and took care of the problem.

Or when they tracked twitter attacks on Anita Sarkeesian to a journalist in Brazil...

Seriously, the standards you are trying to hold GamerGate to are completely and utterly ridiculous.
