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.

John Walker, founder of the video game review site Rock, Paper, Shotgun, weighed in [rockpapershotgun.com] on the issue of misogyny/sexism issue in the video game industry long ago.
Video gamers responded to him. Lots of people.
Here [botherer.org] is his take on GamerGate.

John Walker has been very sexist for a very long time. Though even he had to let go one of his own staff for having an inappropriate relationship with Quinn, only to later ignore it, pretend it never happened, and systematically delete any conversations about it on RPS. He is the worst kind of hypocrite. A petty tyrant that will tell you that you are a bad person for buying videogames and being male at the same time, then refuse to let you defend yourself.
