> You seem to be claiming that a messy breakup justifies sending death threats to completely unrelated people.\ No, you are the one saying he's saying that. And it's a subtle and dishonest, not to mention rude way of shifting the goalposts. There's this narrative that Zoe Quinn was attacked for being a female game developer just for being a female in the games industry oh the horror you better not be a female in the games industry or you are gonna get death threats to from angry male gamers in the gaming community for nothing but being a female trying to make games. Misogyny is everywhere especially in gaming. To counter that narrative, people point out that she got a lot of negative attention for what she did, or was alleged to have done, and the most extreme negative backlash was reprehensible. In other words, it wasn't because she was a woman. That she was female may have influenced the nature of some of the backlash, but not the backlash itself or how extreme they got. Idiots say "well I guess she deserved the death threats then?" No, the point was to debunk the stupid narrative about how women aren't safe on the internet or in the gaming community, not to discuss the finer points of what consequences Zoe did or didn't deserve for what she has done. Note how Phil Fish quickly faded into the background, even though he was harassed as badly as Quinn. That's because he doesn't fit the poor victimized women story.
