Honest Question

What is the point of a question like this? You surely don't expect a series of threat anecdotes that you can go post on AMR on your main, right? No body would fess up to it if they did, and no one will make up such an anecdote if they did not... so the responses will prove nothing. Observe: I have not. The problem is, you won't believe me, or if you do believe me, you won't let that taint the wonderful narrative as MRAs=bad guys that you've obviously concocted. Surely every one of the 100,403 subscribers who hasn't denied it here has threatened women, right?

No, based on your three other comments in this brand new account, I suspect you're looking to get no affirmative responses, get banned for unsubstantial juvenile shit like this and then go post a series of "the MRM denies that any of them threaten women and then ban anyone who even asks them about it!" Am I close?

You ought to seriously consider how narrative bias is affecting you, friend. I suspect you are sure that you are a good person who wants what's best in the world, but you have to realize that good people disagree profoundly on things for all kinds of reasons. "MRAs threaten everyone" is just a demonization narrative pushed by our enemies, it is trivially true that every group has members that threaten their opponents... and due to large numbers of people that exist, it's easy to get immersed in a cloud of such anecdotes. So you cannot let that affect how you see large groups of people unless the proportionality is provable.

A little off topic..

The only gaming community I was ever a part of was near 50/50 men and women. Nobody threatened anyone, but nobody coddled anyone either. Everyone was pretty mature and intelligent. (Had to be 16 to join, 18 to be a full admin).. It was great.

I also know that the sense of community that this group provided was a very positive influence on many of the member's lives. One in particular said that the team saved his life by giving support when he was at his lowest.

I don't know anyone who's actually been threatened online. I think everyone has probably been trolled at some point.

tl;dr: I've never threatened anyone online. I don't know anyone who's been threatened either.

"Have you stopped beating your wife yet?"

Downvoting, obviously.

How's this? I'll answer your question after Anita Sarkeesian posts the police report number from the supposed incident in which she and her family were so threatened that they needed to leave their home, and a police officer supposedly questioned why she'd do the things she does if it invites such hatred? I think this was in August. Hint: No one else can find a record of it including her local police department, and the crowdsourced detectives from #Gamergate have sure been trying hard to.

With all of these threats that prominent women are receiving, have any of the supposed perpetrators been found? One would think that among all the hate spewing, threat-issuing men that are supposedly out there, some would be stupid enough to leave tracks and get caught. Could it be that many of these threats are exaggerated (disagreement = harassment, insults = threats), made up, or even issued by the recipients themselves?

For the record, I fully support the investigation of such threats, and the arrest/prosecution of perpetrators when credible evidence is found. This includes if the alleged victim is found to have perpetrated/orchestrated the threats themselves.
