SoylentNews is people

from the whose-side-are-you-on? dept.

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.

    I think you could be right about a lot of the AC comments. Not all of us are Tork, but it is possible that a lot of the AC comments are from him.

    Tork himself admitted in a past comment [soylentnews.org] to posting as Tork and as Anonymous Coward, and to doing so in order to be disruptive:

    Personally I think my remarks there, both posted at +2 and that I had posted anonymously, should have been modded down for visibility reasons and to teach me to keep the discussions from getting derailed.

    Tork whistleblowing on Tork!
    Now we know Snowden is actually Tork! You can quote me on that Tork. Or wait, you can quote Tork on that Tork!

      Please be careful while blowing your own whistle, Tork! If you don't do it right you could seriously injure your neck and your spine.

    Going by that exact quote that you've used at least 5 times now, I know that you're the guy that thinks everyone is Tork. You've called me Tork more times than I can count, but you keep insisting. Therefore, I'll just agree with you. EVERYONE IS TORK!

      It's an interesting quote. It is indisputable proof that Tork likely is posting as Tork and as Anonymous Coward. It backs up the claim that many Anonymous Coward comments here are from Tork.

        So because he posted as AC once, every AC post is by him? Thats one of the dumbest things you've tried to claim, and that's saying something.

          No, not every AC post. Just most of them.

    For the record I have been away for nearly a week and haven't posted at all. Whatever Tork you've been chatting with, it wasn't me. :)

      You haven't used your Tork account for a week, but you've still be here posting as AC? That's just what I thought!

        By 'at all' I mean I haven't posted AC, either. Sorry.
