FBI Confirms Open Investigation Into Gamergate
v3rgEz writes In a terse form letter responding to a FOIA request, the FBI has confirmed it has an open investigation into Gamergate, the loose but controversial coalition of gamers calling for ethics in gaming journalism — even as some members have harassed and sent death threats to female gaming developers and critics.
Perhaps the FBI will enjoy that laughably bad multiple-choice, text-game on Steam.
If they don't, someone should advise the FBI to be silent. After all, criticizing hilariously shitty products on Steam is now apparently a form of sexual harassment. And pointing out the overwhelmingly obvious in a blog post, may be construed as "rape" here in bizarro world.
Dear FBI, please tread carefully. If you write up a critical report the feminazis will cry verbal assault.
People do care when a bunch of people threaten other people with bodily harm.
Or said people threaten themselves for publicity. Plenty of reason to think that things aren't what they seem when AS tells everybody who cares to listen about all the threats she gets but categorically refuses to talk to the police. Even when police contacted her because some fan of hers had gone to the police. And then there's the infamous twitter screenshot with her sock puppet harrassing herself and the "massacre threat" seems quite fishy too:

They threatened to shoot up a school if one of their targets was allowed to speak at a conference. That's most likely the only reason the FBI gives a shit.
Really? Do you have proof of this? Right, you don't. Strange that your comment was modded informative. Anyone else remember when proof was required when someone was spouting bullshit. I guess "listen and believe" is a real thing for some people.
Om, nomnomnom...
If you're getting up in a tizzy about some dumb comment made by some angsty teenager on some forum, you should probably just sign off the internet now. Didnt Jon Gabriel have a pretty concise theory explaining this behavior somewhere?
