we all do vexatious things that are our vexatious things
i know, for example, I'm a giant blowhard who bulldozers conversations
it's something i am keenly aware of and try to reign in because it can be annoying
but one of your very vexatious things is for like, every single controversial issue that affects a group that is not you
your de facto response is
"Yeah but... is this really a problem? I mean, I don't see it happen. I'm not doubting it's existence, guys, I'm just saying... is it really that bad?"
Yes, yes it is, or at the very least we believe it is or we wouldn't be so dang fired up about it, so when you ask that question it never comes across in good faith, it comes across as a way of you shrugging your shoulders and kind of being in denial of the issue or minimizing the outrage because it doesn't affect you or you're not seeing what all the fuss is about.
And I kind of wish you'd just... stop doing that?
Like either take in good faith that people are mad for a reason, or believe that they are not because you have a good reason not to
don't just take a default position of doubting them because you think you ought to.
there is a Chrome extension out there that changes "SJW" or to "skeleton" in any displayed web-page and it makes reading stupid Gater garbage kind of amazing:
Infiltration?
These people are paranoid and delusional.
i dunno skeletons are super spooky

Irond WillWARNING: NO HURTFUL COMMENTS, PLEASE!!!!!Cambridge. MAModeratormod
Did you see my other post? I have a friend that is an editor of a small town free newspaper that has received death threats. That's a lot closer to the mark of vidya game writer and probably has a much smaller readership than a lot of even small time bloggers
I did. I don't know why it prompted you to post an even less analogous position but I don't find that one especially compelling either. Readership for their physical paper is at its lowest at 150k+ readers. That doesn't include their internet blogs. Sarkeesian only recently had as many subscribers as the newspaper alone in the last few months.
Though out of curiosity how often was your friend's home address tweeted and retweeted by a movement totally not about misogyny hating journalists?
150K? Internet blogs? What? Dude, im talking small. The town in question has a population of 50,000. The paper is basically the pennysaver with articles. The point of both anecdotes is that if you are a public figure in any capacity some asshole is going to send you a threat. It sucks, but it's sadly the way shit has been for a long while and it's not news. There's always going to be some asshole.
Oh sorry I misread.
So how many death threats and for what?
Cause Sarkeesian isn't being attacked by that one asshole down the street that everyone knows is a total jerk.
Anonymous and does the frequency really matter?
They are threats made anonymously by one or a few people in a small audience over some bullshit like the coverage of a local car show or some thing.
I think the frequency does matter, yes. Is that a real question?
Well since we're keeping score for some reason, I think I received 2.
I have no idea how many my editor buddy receives, but they come in the form of email and "actual fucking letters".
is that enough?
Enough for what. I think the frequency matters in how it will affect someone psychologically. One is too much, but there is going to be a difference between intermittent threats and several, daily.
And the specificity. Some of those contain personal address details, names of family, schools etc.
Okay, you want specificity?
I was a letter to my parent's house anonymously that threatened me by name and said that I would pay for some unspecified wrong I did to his/her family. At the time I was working in the No department of a Health Insurance company making bullshit money.
How many tweets is that worth?
This is goosey as fuck.
It is. Especially what happened to you.
So is it also not terrible that it happened to someone else or what? Seriously, what is the point you're trying to get at here?
Deebs honestly, this is a moment when you need to step back and get some distance from your personal experiences. There are a host of differences between your situation and Anita Sarkeesian's, or Brianna Wu's, or any other person in the public eye you are scoffing at for taking the death threats they are receiving seriously. Honestly--I know you hate this word, but this is the point where you need to examine your privilege and the position you are arguing from. It is not a strong one.
Who is Brianna Wu?
she runs a boston company that made an anime-styled ipad adventure game targeted at women
i met her at a couple paxes and played her game
it wasn't really my cup of tea but on the other hand i applaud her doing something different and adding diversity to the games space and she was real nice
anyways she seems to have gotten a nasty death threat and i think left her house

One thing that people find horrible is the posting of addresses.
I do find this reprehensible. The thing is given someones name, general living area and possibly a picture or just enough time you can dig up someones address, phone number, work address and probably even frequently visited places.
Part of this is because we give this info out constantly via apps, social media and other parts is it just ends up in the public domain through the internet like the old phone book.
It is part of the new world.
Your information is not private.
And in many ways we as a society have not adapted this.

"The original Grimrock had a child with Myst and it was kidnapped by Dark Souls II in its infancy and raised to adulthood in the graveyard of forgotten CRPGs. That's Grimrock II. And yet it has its own puzzling, riddling dungeon crawling magic. It's an intricate puzzle box hiding needles beneath its surface. It's a frightening force of nature, a storm of darkness and the things that crawl in it. It's a sphinx with starry eyes. The Legend of Grimrock II is a work of genius"

I deliberately go by CE Arbuthnot as opposed to Cassandra Arbuthnot

That's not how this works.
Player-1: "Is there a god?"
Player-2: We believe there is.
Player-1: Oh, well, they must have a reason for thinking that. Can't ask what their reason is. Hum de dum.
If someone asks why you believe X, it is your job to provide reasons. It is not the job of the inquirer to assume there are reasons.
It IS streets ahead

It's for a software developer -- no degree from what I can tell
Each page is a detailed breakdown of his job description from a previous job.
There's also a lot of weird personal information -- it's for a candidate from the Phillipines so maybe that's normal over there.

Maybe you didn't even make this post because the world was just created.
