Forums - Gaming Discussion - FBI called in to investigate death threats against Sarkeesian

What happens if the FBI finds lack of evidence of threat and actually report that news?

I'm one that avoided the drama so far, but I'm curious of the what if situation.

Well... Everyone gets death threats so its nothing special... Its bad but what can ya do? If you can't take it then don't be so controversial with ur videos and it will go away. Not saying death threats should continue but her videos are pretty retarded from what I hear

That's horrible if she's getting death threats. Anyway it just empowers her in a way because it makes her into sort of a martyr. I don't like this movement to try to emasculate gaming/comic books. Why make the fantasy world as boring and no fun as reality? If people want more X, Y, or Z in gaming heck they should go out and make it happen, not whine until they get their way.

They wouldn't report it. Sarkeesian would just report that women are not taken seriously by the FBI



Um doesn't the FBI normally wait till they have suspects before they announce an investigation?

"This is unfortunately another example of how the aggressive denial of women's lived experiences online is not only sexist but can actually be dangerous."

And there we go. It can't be some brainless idiots, as when men get death threats over stupid things, it has to be turned into an attack on women so it can fit into her agenda.

I hope they get the people who made the threats, as that is a really horrible thing to do, but I really, really don't like this woman. I wish we could start paying a lot less attention to her. The morons making threats need to go to jail not just for the threats but because they're giving her exactly the kind of ammunition and exposure she wants.

that part of the text was not about the death threats, but about the conspiracy theory saying that Sarkeesian made the threats herself which 4chan cooked up

the same happened when Zoe Quinn's and her friend's accounts were hacked, 4chans response was "Zoe did it herself"
