You know as well as I do that this is a story because she's female and this is about sexual harrassment.  Had this been about a guy, there would be no story.  If it had been a female and the language hadn't been gender-specific, there probably wouldn't have been a story then, either.  Do you seriously think otherwise?

I dont know.  If a guy told another guy the same thing and then he told the news about it,  good chance it could make the news.   Could be called something like "Verbal abuse  and threats on Xbox Live" with a bunch of comments similar to it. Just making sure it wasnt an edit because that is "not cool at all" 

Haha, I get it now.

Regardless, no, places like Kotaku or Destructoid only run these stories if they can sensationalize them.  Other players have to wait all the time.  This should only be a story if the person in question had to wait way over the average, which is not mentioned.
