No, I respect people's right to freedom of speech. The same cannot be said for third-wave Feminists who seek to censor free speech.

I agree.

Most Gamers in Gamer-Gate have been given threats. I just posted a video, atleast 3 times of a string of Social Justice Warriors saying that all Gamers deserve to die. There was a female gamer called Lizyf620, a member of Gamer-Gate who had to quit because her family was threatened. Anita Sarkeesian is not the only person getting death threats, despite the narrative the media will paint.
Quote:to the point she had to cancel lectures due to terrorist bombing threats.
Actually, an investigation into these threats found them not legitimate.

Then you should hate Social Justice Warriors, by that logic they censor free-speech. The Atheist + link I showed you illustrated Social Justice Warriors banning and silencing anyone who tried to question them.
Why does Anita condemn Gamer-Gate yet not condemn the more numerous critics who threatened to kill all Gamers?

We all do bud...

Yeah, like...the majority of Gamers condemned the harassment she faced. But yet again, I ask --- what about the harassment and threats that Gaming critics of Anita faced?
Quote:---> And yeah, she gets those threats because she is a WOMAN - You would never see a male personality in gaming getting so many threats for speaking about gaming in sexism
No, dude. I posted a video numerous times. It flat out shows male-gamers getting death threats; men also get death threats.
I think I've said a number of times but I gave you a video which was a factual compliment of the threats that Gamers have faced, and they are far more numerous than those Anita faced. And yes, many of these Gamers were male.
I cut out the rest of your post because I've already addressed it, but women facing threats online is not a unique phenenom, just about every medium gets death threats.
Richard Dawkins, a so-called ''white privileged male'' by the Atheist + crew gets similar threats.
Anyone can threaten anyone online, and it's damn easy. It is not unique to women.
