Before anyone jumps to any conclusions these threats are anonymous and nobody knows if they are tied to any group. There have been a series of feminists who make fake Twitter accounts to threaten themselves and later on were proven to be hoaxes for attention. http://www.buzzfeed.com/ryanhatesthis/womens-rights-activist-charged-with-rape-threat-hoax-on-face http://www.buzzfeed.com/ryanhatesthis/womens-rights-activist... http://www.goingyourownway.com/mgtow-lounge-main-forum/rok-article-anita-sarkeesian-fake-2826/ http://www.goingyourownway.com/mgtow-lounge-main-forum/rok-a... http://www.returnofkings.com/42602/did-anita-sarkeesian-fake-death-threats-against-herself http://www.returnofkings.com/42602/did-anita-sarkeesian-fake... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ErGcBxMpgwA http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ErGcBxMpgwA Apparently they can create all of the fake Twitter accounts they want, sign out, and take a picture of it 12 minutes later. Then log back into the account and delete all of the history. The news media just has to believe them, because they believe that these anonymous people are behind death and rape threats to everyone. Even if the Twitter accounts doing the threats have the same IP as the feminist's accounts. Sometimes the police catch the feminists and arrest them for filing a false report. http://www.avoiceformen.com/feminism/false-claims-of-rape-and-harassment-are-now-employed-by-activists-as-tools-of-social-change/ http://www.avoiceformen.com/feminism/false-claims-of-rape-an... This fake rape and fake death threats and fake sexual assaults are nothing new: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duke_lacrosse_case http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duke_lacrosse_case Feminists will keep doing this stuff to get popular, and attention, and speaking gigs, and sell books and promote blogs and websites. They think by faking this stuff they raise awareness for it. With this past history of hoaxes, it is hard to tell with each new case of harassment if it is real or just another hoax for attention. If real she and her family have my deepest sympathies, if fake she will be found out eventually I guess?

  The source of a fact does not matter. Your post is the very definition of ad-hominem.

    I don't think you know how things...like...work. Being an ad hominem argument and being accurate are not disjoint sets. You don't just get to blow the whistle and say "AD HOMINEM, ARGUMENT GOES TO THE RECEIVING TEAM!". It's not even an ad hominem, though, because the credibility of your sources is at the core of your argument. returnofkings and avoiceformen have a storied and well-covered history of being astonishing shitheads towards women and doing everything in their (meager, thankfully) power to turn the clock back to 1950 or thereabouts. They have an inherent bias, and a real real disgusting one, that makes them immediately incredible. It's like citing Andrew Wakefield on autism--you aren't entitled to the respect of having an argument when you don't have an argument based on reality. There isn't enough there to the spittle-flecked, cheeto-dusting link parade to argue about. It's prima facie nonsense being peddled by people with much, much more of an axe to grind than anyone on the "other side" that you (strangely) fear; there's no serious coverage of this sordid stain on a hobby of mine that's pro-#GG except from people whose entire worldview is predicated on being anti-women. And you know it, which is why you would rather blow the whistle and hope the ref stops the fight because--gasp!--somebody used a fallacy.

      You are upset for no reason, and are being abusive as a result of your anger. Please calm down and try to be a little more constructive. I did not post those links, I simply pointed out that the source of a fact does not matter. You did not say "those facts are wrong because evidence", you said "those facts are wrong because I don't like who is saying them". That is the very definition of ad-hominem. I did not claim to win any argument, I pointed out that you did not make an argument. Your response had negative value. If you want to demonstrate that some claims are incorrect, then do so.
