Running For Congress, Brianna Wu Criticizes The FBI's GamerGate Report (venturebeat.com)
An anonymous reader shares this update about programmer/game developer Brianna Wu as well as the FBI's recently-released report on their GamerGate investigation:Wu has officially unveiled the web site for her campaign for a seat in the U.S. Congress, and says if elected she'll confront the FBI over their "appalling failure" when investigating members of the controversial GamerGate coalition. "Wu catalogued more than 180 death threats that she said she received because she spoke out against sexism in the game industry and #GamerGate misogyny," according to VentureBeat, which quotes Wu as saying "only a fraction of a fraction of the information we gave them was ever looked into."
The article says the FBI did investigate -- even asking Google to "preserve records" for several email addresses and YouTube accounts, and making a similar request to Microsoft. And the FBI also interviewed one minor who admitted to making at least 40 threatening phone calls, but after turning over that information learned that the state of Massachusetts had declined to prosecute. In the end the FBI's 173-page report ultimately concluded that there were no actionable leads.
Wu's response? "All this report does for me is show how little the FBI cared about the investigation."

Well yes, if you want to believe that the white man is superior, that African Americans, Mexicans and Muslims are subhumans, that women should suck it up when men verbally harass them, or, you know, "grab them by the pussy", that does make you a bigot and a misogynist.
Wait......what? We're you making a statement for effect, or just showing how prejudiced you are?
The shepherds did so well protecting the flock that the sheep no longer believed that wolves existed.
I didn't call anyone a racist, and trying to redefine a word to shortcut actually have to deal with what someone said is, apart from anything else, intellectually lazy

No, he is making a statement of fact. If you behave in a misogynist way, then your behaviour can accurately be described as misogynist. There are no "alternate facts" here, these are simply the words used to describe certain ideas.
Complaining about these words is just the new "politically correct". An effort to rework the language into a kind of newspeak where criticism of your views is impossible because the words needed to describe them are banned.

So let me get this straight. X uses words to do harm and that's okay, but if I arrange a boycott of his employer - then THAT harm is NOT okay ?
Only a rightwinger can write a flagrantly hypocritical statement like you just did and not even fucking blush.
