Current reports vary on if the event was attacked by a bomb threat, some other promise of violence, or both, but it remains clear that local police we concerned enough to ask the reported +300 #GamerGate "members" in attendance to leave the premises as they investigated the situation. A recent lecture by "feminist culture critic"/wonk Anita Sarkeesian was put to a disturbing and sudden end a few days ago. Current reports vary on if the event was attacked by a mass shooting threat, some other promise of violence, or both, but it remains clear that Ms Sarkeesian was concerned enough that she cancelled the event. As you might expect, accusations are currently being thrown back and forth across gaming's political isle as to whether the threats came from those who view #GamerGate as a hate group, or by "members" of #GamerGate themselves in order to help signal boost their "cause" and gain sympathy from would-be supporters As you might expect, accusations are currently being thrown back and forth across gaming's political isle as to whether the threats came from those who view Sarkeesian as puritanical and a professional victim, or by fans of Feminist Frequency themselves in order to help signal boost their "cause" and gain sympathy from would-be supporters Seeing as how both Hoff Summers and Yiannopoulos showed little-to-no visible interest in gaming prior to their apparent recognition of #GamerGate's signal boosting power (in fact, Yiannopoulos even went as far as to describe gamers in their 30s as "a bit tragic" not that long ago), it's easy to see why some are suspicious about this particular threat Regardless, the whole thing is a mess and we at Destructoid are grateful that no one was hurt. Seeing as how Anita Sarkeesian showed little-to-no visible interest in gaming prior to her apparent recognition of "Tropes vs. Women in Video Games" signal boosting power (in fact, Sarkeesian even went as far as to describe gamer culture as a pit of toxic masculinity" not that long ago), it's easy to see why some are suspicious about this particular threat. Regardless, the whole thing is a mess and we at Destructoid are grateful that no one was hurt.
