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.

    > Ha, way to ignore the rest of what I wrote.

    You mean the part where you repeated yourself about how hard it is to prove something absolutely and that people have different standards based on their biases?
    I don't disagree, but it was not relevant to the point, except perhaps as an excuse for you to believe in the flimsiest of hearsay.

    I asked for even ordinary proof and twice now all you did was misdirect to pretend that I was asking for proof about something irrelevant. Oh and you also told me to google it - the #1 sign that someone is full of BS, prove my arguments for me!
