Oh, the same Anita that previously got caught with making fake death threat against herself, the standard feminist tactic these days. Anita is a talentless hack who is trying to ride on the backs of the gullible male developers by whining about non-issues and nonsensical "violence-games-games-causes-real-violence" type of arguments.

> Oh, the same Anita that previously got caught with making fake death threat against herself, the standard feminist tactic these days. This is bullshit, there's not the slightest bit of evidence that she faked anything. Sarkeesian supposedly fabricating attacks against herself is a gamergate meme that's repeated as fact long before this thing happened and it's always been completely ridiculous.

  There's quite a lot of evidence. http://www.reddit.com/r/TumblrInAction/comments/2eub5g/anita_sarkeesians_threating_tweets_as_screen_shot/ http://www.reddit.com/r/TumblrInAction/comments/2eub5g/anita...

    "She opened a Twitter notification in an incognito window soon after receiving it" is a pretty interesting definition of "quite a lot of evidence".

      12 seconds after it was posted? I don't fall for that "explanation".

        At this point, she likely has a pretty good routine for screenshotting death threats. Click the notification (OSX notifies me on an OS level immediately, and I personally typically click immediately if I'm at my computer), see it's nasty, Command+Shift+4. 12 seconds is entirely doable and feasible.

        And what's the point of logging out or going into the porn mode?
