Gamergate did 11/9 Count: 17
For the uninitiated, the USU talk mentioned above was interrupted by what was clearly a feminist false-flagging the event (they did the equivalent of Chris pretending to be a member of the Farms, as it were, and referencing an obscure event from 1989). The police investigated and found the threat to be 100% without merit.
The Glass Ceiling said:It’s not just Hillary Clinton: Many women who dare to exist in the public sphere are deemed transgressive and punished accordingly. When Leslie Jones dared to speak up against the criticism of the “Ghostbusters” reboot, she was verbally assaulted with racist and sexist slurs by Milo Yiannopoulous and the alt-right community, which then went on to leak her private documents and nude photographs. When Anita Sarkeesian dared to talk about the sexist portrayal of women in video games, she was attacked by Gamergate, a loosely organized movement of anonymous Internet harassers, who promised to shoot anyone that showed up to Sarkeesian’s talk at Utah State University and who threatened to “come to your house and violently rape you in front of your family.” When Jessica Valenti dared to write about feminism, she received rape and death threats directed at her 5-year old daughter.
