Do you honestly think that someone is going to rape and murder a game developer just because she's a woman? No. It's all just internet BS. Men get messed with too. CliffyB, Phil Spencers, etc. The list could go on and on. They ignore it and don't take it personal. The women don't ignore it and make it worse because they give the internet more ammo. They just need to grow thicker skin.




How the frick are you supposed to be able to tell when a death threat is legit or not?

You sound like a complete buffoon to just say "Oh well they should toughen up and ignore it" when some frick starts spewing crazy shite at a person for weeks on end.

There are crazy frickers out there that do crazy things and when you get a deluge of vile horseshite that includes rape and death threats its not some nothing deal to be taken lightly.

Why don't those threats garner the same level of response when it involves males?

And don't you dare say that other non-female developers don't receive threats on the same level as these chicks.

We both know that isn't true.

If you live, it wasn't real.
