Yeah, too bad we don't know which one.

    Care to back that statement up? Any proof, any proof at all? Randi's post does not have any proof linking #GamerGate, an amorphous hashtag to threats, or even casually proving that "GamerGate supporters" are the ones carrying out the threats. It's just an opinion. It'd be pretty easy going back in one's twitter timeline to make that determination, would it not?

        It's not a proof, it's an article written on the subject which makes the same assumptions as you do.

        Ah, the New York Times. That rag which just makes things up and can never be trusted for anything. Suuuuuure. If you're not willing to accept that as evidence, then I doubt you'll accept anything.

        i don't think you know what evidence is. no matter how deeply you or I may respect the author, he doesn't seem to have any evidence for your claim, either.

        Uh people threatening Sarkeezian are not #GamerGate. That's what #GamerGate is all about - it's silly to generalize from some anonymous psychopaths to millions of gamers.

By one side you mean one person who affiliates with that chosen side, trying to say that all the SJW's or GamerGate people support murdering children is ridiculous.

  It was actually woman and feminists specifically they were vowing to kill, not schoolchildren. It's "School" as in "college".

I'll try again: apparently there were millions of tweets with the hashtag #gamergate and also millions with #notyourshield (according to this anylsis which came up via Google - https://medium.com/@cainejw/an-actual-statistical-analysis-of-gamergate-dfd809858f68 https://medium.com/@cainejw/an-actual-statistical-analysis-o... ) So I think we can safely assume that there are thousands of people actively identifying with the #gamergate side. Do you seriously believe that thousands of people endorse the notion of school shootings? Sorry, that is just ridiculous and you should get your head checked.
