You claim I disregarded all the male journalists involved, yet I simply wasn't talking about them, because I was talking about the death threats to Zoe specifically.

Is there a reason to believe that all the death threats were legitimate? I don't mean in the sense that people would drive to Zoe's house and get the job done, but that the people who posted the threats are indeed gamers and not some shills.

I don't think there is any way to prove their legitamacy, all I assume we do know is that they were made. But honestly I think that is irrelevant. I'm a 20 something year old male, yet I don't fantasize about school shootings, I'm black yet I've never been to prison, I'm a gamer but I've never sent a death threat, or even a letter to devs publishers or reviewers. 

Why am I suddently part of a sick culture of sending death threats because I don't like a thing? How come I'm not simply a gamer because I like to play video games?

Almost makes me want to start a #notyoursoapbox tag trend to get people to stop attaching to games and forcing social stigmata's on people who just want to play and enjoy the games they love.
