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:

@Sen_Armstrong @Spacekatgal @chatterwhiteman It's clearly either a troll or false flag shame that people actually think its legit.

Your definition of feminism is wrong.
I don't think you are able to hear any other definition.
It is kind of sad.

That's why social justice warrior is a good term to have. It allows you to separate proactive feminists from whiny loser feminists.

That's odd. I use it to identify whiny loser misogynists and racists.

She's describing the de facto definition of feminism. It's the only definition that actually matters.
Any dictionary/academic/de jure definition of feminism is irrelevant.

Nope. She's describing something she personally experienced once or twice and which has been reinforced by the gleeful howls of anti-progressives.
