Anita Sarkeesian and Zoe Quinn just turned online harassment into a woman's problem
#9
For all that you said, unless I missed it, which please correct me if I did, you missed one major point. They get that kind of heat for being as popular as they are. The guy who's video I posted has had people send him death threats, The Lizard Squad straight up threaten to shoot up an event if he were to show to it, and several people try to sabotage him just because he thinks differently than they do. Anita and Zoe deal with that just the same as he does. The bullying and threats aren't limited to a person by any other thing than by how well known they are, and that's only true because the more people who know about a person, the more their are that want to threaten them. Even with that, it doesn't mean that several people aren't bullied for other stupid reasons that lead to suicide. That happens more than it ever should, and gender has never had anything to do with it. Anita and Zoe will get harassed while people hide behind gender-based insults, but those same kinds of insults would still come at them using different words if they were men.
