there is a big problem with harassment on Twitter, but this is capitulation to only one aggrieved group. At least twice Rickey Gervais has tweeted pictures of young women hunters next to their game that has resulted in widespread death threats and harassment of the women. During the Suey Park #CancelColbert thing, I watched as one of her friends systematically told everybody replying to her to "die in a fire", "drink bleach", "kill yourself", and then when someone said the same thing to Park, Park declared she was getting death threats. This is just going to be another system abused to shut one group of people up while another group does the same shit with impunity. The evidence is all there. Just recently I saw an argument about this on "The Mary Sue" where one person demanded proof that the other side of an Internet flame war was also getting death threats. When it was proven, the person declared that because the death threats against these people were not the result of oppression, they mattered less, and talking about them was "derailing the discussion." This is about ideology, not about a general concern for human safety. Some people being harassed don't count.
