None of it, expect of course that the University of Utah confirmed it, and a lot of people there have received this message. Read it for a fine example of crazy reactionary misogyny.

University of Utah confirmed that threat was completely un-credible and there was no credible threat to the students or anyone else. Once again you are so woefully uninformed about the most basic of facts that I wonder if you even so much as googled any of this before posting.

I couldn't find a source to back that up; instead, googling showed that the University of Utah prepared to enhance their security as a direct result of the threat. Or did I miss something? It's admittedly quite hard to search for without the results getting swamped with gamergate coverage of one sort or another...

Gamergate is about revealing corruption in the gaming industry.

It's certainly what they like to claim, yet they're mainly concerned with the massive corruption surrounding a little indie game that's free and not making anyone any money, while they're ignoring the very large scale corruption surrounding major publishers demanding positive reviews in exchange for money and review copies (Shadows of Mordor anyone?). I have addressed this with GamerGaters before, and they defended it, stating that Shadows of Mordor is objectively good, while Depression Quest is objectively bad. And that apparently makes one type of corruption okay, and the other type a really serious problem.

There is as much men involved in this corruption, hell, there is more actually.

And yet it's the women that keep getting attacked. Who even knows the names of the men involved? GamerGaters keep harping on about Zoe Quinn, despite her being supposedly irrelevant to what their cause is really supposed to be about.

This has absolutely nothing to do with attacking females.

And yet GamerGate started with attacks on women, and any woman that speaks up about GamerGate gets doxed (see Felicia Day), whereas men don't (Chris Kluwe, for example).

Every supporter of gamergate has been reasonable, calm, and argues things like a reasonable adult.

That is not exactly my experience with the ones I've tried to argue with. Every single one started with these exact same arguments, and every single one came up mostly with irrelevant arguments, ended up talking about Zoe Quinn and Anita Sarkeesian were killing their hobby, and when they ran out of arguments, slipped up with a dose of homophobic and misogynist slurs (which at least one of them then tried to cover up).

I haven't seen any calm arguing like a reasonable adult yet.

Every attacker of gamergate has been violent, sending death threads, making up BLATANTLY fake images to make themselves look like victims, and very publicly attacking people on Twitter as well.

That kind of hyperbole is not exactly helping you acquire the image of a calm and reasonable adult.

There has been zero evidence they have put forward. "Legit" mass shooting threads, nobody found, none of it, despite all the paranoia in America over it these days.

None of it, expect of course that the University of Utah confirmed it, and a lot of people there have received this message. Read it for a fine example of crazy reactionary misogyny.

They need SERIOUS help. Especially Zoe Quinn. She is delusional and mentally broken. You can see it in any interview she does, trying to play it up as if she was a victim. You can see the smugness in her face behind that horribly fake sad form.

So it is about Zoe Quinn after all.

let's face it - some people can't help but suck at games

And some people can't help but suck at Twister. Take Brooke Nelson McArthur for instance (article; video).

No, it's the human players who are about social interaction.

If video games weren't a valid nexus around which humans can engage in social interaction, then why did the Atari 2600 console have two controller ports in the first place?

We can do it in or outside of video games.

And Ouya brings the audience of people who prefer to do it inside video games to developers who work from home.

Now we just need a LEG clone.

If you have ARMs, you don't especially need LEGs. (Article or video)

Of course. Then people couldn't do this.

Well, they can't very well let Ogden, Utah and Miami, Florida get too far ahead of them, can they?

"sadly the truck driver lost his job due to the DUI, and his two children starved to death"

Or maybe he had suffered from a stroke or was diabetic and my call to the police got the emergency help he needed? We'll never know, but I'm glad I helped get him off the road that day, whatever the reason for the reckless driving.

Why bother bombing the Atlantic when the Mormons in Layton, Utah provide a fairly decent target.

OK, that wasn't NASA, but it was the U.S. government.

Just because the bill wasn't amended recently proves a little bit, but I don't think in the long run. I believe a similar bill, or even a more crippling bill will be passed to halt UTOPIA. Standard Examiner Link I can't imagine any city having enough money to be able to force UTOPIA active.

i dunno how much this will help, but ive written to
the standard examiner
the salt lake tribune
and the deseret news

if you also live in utah you should consider doing the same.
