An anonymous coward writes:

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.

    SJW logic...
    You sound white, you must be a KKK member then.
    Don't like being called a member of the KKK?

    Fine you're a leader of the KKK and you rape children?
    Don't like that? Well I guess it must be true then.

    Somebody mod parent insightful. I'd use one of my mod points, but I opened my fat mouth already.
