Me: I'm not excusing people who make threats
You: you appear to believe that she and her family deserve to be threatened with rape, torture and execution
I suspect that it isn't a reading comprehension problem, but that you are so on board with "men are evil" that you ignore anything said that doesn't fit your women are victims, men are evil narrative.

Are you seriously trying prove your point with a false dichotomy and then calling me stupid? Really?
How about her call to Lego to remove any facial hair from their characters because showing men with facial hair is bad.
How about her call for companies not to show men playing with their sons because that is bad.
How about her claim that testosterone is bad.

By letting police and prosecutors decide when to enforce the law and when not to, you make them defacto judges. When their decisions carry penalties, they become defacto "executioners" (Yes, I put the word executioners in quotes because they do not actually kill you, but they do enact punishments including jail time and financial costs).

When you have laws the get selectively enforced, innocent people are already getting punished. Worse yet, you are giving a criminal the tool to use that punishment for his own agenda. Selective enforcement means that the law isn't really a law, it is just an excuse to use the color of law to abuse citizens, and lives are already being ruined by stupid laws combined with selective enforcement.

A big reason that we have so many stupid laws is due to selective enforcement.

I watched one of her videos. It was 13 minutes of man hate. Things like calling out father-son road trips as being bad. Or fathers playing with their sons at all as being bad. Claiming that testosterone is an inherently a negative trait is understandably sexist. She is simply a hate-monger. Dismissing her sexist hate-mongering does not make the parent poster a bigot.

You are right, there is no excuse for threats of violence. That being said, she is is absolutely trying to insult men. The video I watched had her saying that commercials that show fathers playing with their sons, and father son road trips are wrong. She also says that testosterone and facial hair are negative traits. Basically the video I watched was 13 minutes of man hate.

When you make a high profile career out of hate-mongering, it should not surprise you that someone is going to behave badly towards you.

Given that she has said that commercials depicting fathers playing with their sons are bad, and that products should not depict testosterone inspired activity, you would be wrong that she is not at war with men. I just pulled up her site and randomly picked one of her videos. It happened to be a bit about Lego. It was 13 minutes of man hate.

I'm not excusing people who make threats, but much like Jerry Springer, if you are a hate-monger, it shouldn't be a surprise when the mentally unstable make them at you.

If you didn't feel insulted, you missed her point. Her job is to insult men. No, the game producers are not saying "men are brutes with no compassion, let's pander to that." They are saying "This is pretend. Lots of people like horror fiction. Lets pander to that." In fact, horror fiction is popular among women as well as men, and yes, frequently it involves sexual mutilation of men as well.

The fact that you think this is a "male" problem does not make you "one of the good ones". It just means that you have been convinced half the population was born wrong.
