A factual actual statement from a liar, and all doubt of her credibility being met with accusations of sexism, victim blaming, and defending death threats you mean.
Whatever your personal feelings are, is it not true that gamergate started because her ex posted a bunch of crap about her on his blog, trolls ran with it, & then she got death threats?
I don't think anyone on here supports death threats, nor do I think ethics in video game journalism is an issue that should be ignored. The PROBLEM, is that gamergate started as the kind of crazy misogynistic stuff that Elliot Rodger types believe about woman & that we know is dangerous. Yes, there has been a pivot to journalism ethics, but the loudest stuff continues to be crazy death threats against women.
There really is an issue with gamers/internet denizens & misogyny, just as there really is an issue with developer/publisher/journalists in gaming. Gamergate combines them, drowning out any legitimate points the rational side my have.
