Who is baiting others into sending them death threats, and how?
Every outrage farmer. Heck, Gawker published a guide on what they call hate reading and why it is loved.
An outrage farmer is a person who's bank account is dwindling when their viewers/listeners/readers are happy and content, and the same account is flush when they are reaching for torches and pitchforks. These people swim in death threads regardless of their religion, ethnicity, or gender. Most on the conservative side are called culture warriors, and social justice warriors on the liberal side, but even comedians often fall into this category. Outrage farming is how Howard Stern became famous.
Wow great post. This isn't anything new, watch this
Total Biscuit is going to be tomorrow on the same show, he will handle it much better than Jennie. I don't know what is with her, I tried so hard to inform her since the huffpost live thing. Oliver Campbell will be on the show on Monday.
Here's the bad news....Anita is gonna be on Colbert in one hour
So this twitter account was made claiming to be an Anonymous group. So far it didn't take responsibility for anything, but we think it's responsible for reporting a fake suicide attempt to the police on KingofPol(GG streamer).

SJW seemed to be pretty happy , and hack tech bloggers were eager to report on it.
This is a list of partners that was on the Gawker page, it's not removed but I can find an achive If you don't believe me. Mercedes Benz was definitely a partner, not sure if it still is. And something definately happened at Gawker, because they were pleading, apologizing and a high up at gawker came on twitter to discuss with GG people
Look I've been on the 4chan threads . Raids and doxxing are bannable then and were bannable now. This entire thing started with this Internet Aristocat video.

Even from this you can see that the target was Kotaku, not Zoe. It's also interesting that he's gussed that they're going to spin this as attacking Zoe because she's a woman.
Also I saw this on twitter. Don't know if it's true, but it makes sense right?
I just don't understand why many news sites insist on slamming it as a hateful sexist movement. Given that these are the sites gg is implicating as being corrupt, they're only encouraging the gamergate people to continue by exhibiting the very behaviour gg have been accusing them of all along. Are they really that blinded by their own self-righteousness or do they think they're fighting a war of attrition?
Blinded. There is no mental gymnastics they won't go trough, they will never admit they've done anything wrong. If this goes on and they get pushed over the edge it's gonna get violent.

@Gue1: Nah, in the end the trainwreck will only destroy those actively involved, we survived being blamed for school shootings, we survived Jack Thompson, we survived the congress hearings for the hot coffee mod, this is just another controversy to throw into the pile
The difference is that the gaming community was united by moral crusaders like Jack Thompson. Now? You have the gaming press working against our best interests, you have well placed people in internet communities, administrators, moderators (even on gamespot). You know if you look at why gamespots communities went bad look at some of the admins, look at the shadowbans. And Thompson only wanted to kill video games. These people want to control it, they want the money and the ability to disseminate propaganda trough video games. I really hope we get trough this man.
Anyway posting some stuff about Anita's death threats
