Brianna Wu, head of the independent gaming studio Giant Spacekat, was the target of a series of tweets containing death threats on Friday; one published her home address (since redacted). The poster's Twitter account has been disabled.
Wu responded on Friday night with the tweet:
Brianna Wu @Spacekatgal
The police just came by. Husband and I are going somewhere safe.
Remember, #gamergate isn't about attacking women.
GamerGate supporters denounced the threats and "doxxing" against Wu and disavowed the poster. However, several suspected that the tweets were a false flag created by anti-GamerGate forces:
Sun Knight @SunKnightO
@Sen_Armstrong @Spacekatgal @chatterwhiteman It's clearly either a troll or false flag shame that people actually think its legit.

Oh for fucks sake, not this garbage again. Nathan Grayson mentioned her game in an article in Rock Paper Shotgun [archive.today] back in January, then he covered Zoe's "Game Jam" [kotaku.com] at the end of March after she was responsible for tanking the same project run by The Fine Young Capitalist (TFYC) to get women in to gaming.
This has been stated over and over and over and every time someone insisting it doesn't exist pops up, then when it's pointed out they come back with, "well that's not a review". Seriously just fuck off already.

So, what I am getting from you is that you have a problem with reality. Not only is it "not a review" it isn't particularly favorable towards her or any of her work. If you think it is, perhaps you could quote the lines that actually endorse her rather than just describe how someone else was shitty towards her.
after she was responsible for tanking the same project run by The Fine Young Capitalist (TFYC) to get women in to gaming.
True or not, I don't see how that's relevant to the charge of journalistic corruption versus a complaint about her as an individual.

It shows a pattern of shitty/unethical behavior.

Is she a journalist? No. Case fucking closed.

So because she's not a journalist she's incapable of unethical behavior?
Or do non-journalists have some type of diplomatic immunity to it?

What part of "journalistic ethics" do you fail to understand?

The "ethics" part. It does mean "everything done by somebody I like", making "ethical violation" mean "everything done by somebody I don't like", right?

So journalistic ethics are the only kind of ethics?
And unethical behavior by journalists can only involve journalists?
Because if a non-journalist is evolved everyone is a sexist pig?
Am I doing it right?

Only if you look at it with the intent to use it as proof of that, having already made your mind up and simply looking for anything to justify your pre-made conclusion.
In reality it shows nothing of the sort.
