Dear #GamerGate folks:

A good response to, "The GamerGate community generally doesn't take death threats seriously" is NOT, "Oh, come on -- EVERYBODY gets death threats; you shouldn't take it seriously."

Honestly, that really doesn't do a good job of countering the original claim.

I can and cannot believe she got threats of that kind. I don't know the gaming community well enough to speak to the assertions that such terrible behavior is the norm, but ... I mean, surely it cannot be the norm???
