Apropos to yesterday's entry on Gamergate, showing up anonymously and saying, "Yeah, what is the world coming to when a girl can't just exchange sex for favorable gaming reviews with five guys and not be outed by her boyfriend for cheating on him?" is not a particularly persuasive message.
To expand in order to make a full post, this fails because:
1) the allegations are coming from an ex-boyfriend. People recently out of a relationship have been known to lie, exaggerate or otherwise say untruthful things about the other party(ies) to the relationship.
2) The poster, by being completely anonymous, has the inherent credibility of the guy who writes "for a good time, call..." on the bathroom wall.
3) So what? These are video games, and even if the allegation is true, nothing about the whole kerfuffle merits even half the vitriol spilled on it. Absolutely none of the death threats are merited.
To my anonymous reader: Please, sir, get a life.
