Apparently, your self-worth as a man requires women groveling at your feet. That's pretty sad and pathetic.

"Just last night I was told I was going to be raped, along with my mother, for beating someone in a fighting game. "
Did they text that to your person phone? Did they tell you they are going to kill o and include the make and model of your car?
No? probably not the same thing then.

"you know that this is the internet we live on"
Maybe we should try to make it better? nah, lets just give up and shrug our shoulders.

" I implore everyone to provide proof of their allegations"
I agree. It's critical.

"before labeling it as a systemic issue.
it is a systemic issue, and it's pretty well documented. There is a difference between A threat, and a systemic issue of threats within a community.

"and I don't enjoy being falsely stuck in to a harasser category because I work in tech and have a penis but won't label myself a 'feminist'."
knee jerk much? no one is doing that, get over yourself.

" Furthermore, I feel that articles like this with claims but no evidence will just make people shy away from hiring Women for fear they are going to start claiming harassment when there is none."
did you read the article? Nothing in your post seems to indicate you did.

if you 'have' to do something with your girlfriend, then maybe you should find someone else?
I don't understand this stupid idea that a spouse can't enjoy something the other spouse does if for nothing more then to share in their enjoyment.

That was the most misogynistic thing in this comments so far, well done.
Coupled with that, it shows a complete lack of understanding he issue and the article.

She has death threats sent to her phone. This isn't just an internet forum issue, and it isn't just her.
I have a daughter, she gets iot, her friends get it, I know 45 year old women who get attacked like this.

You're attitude is a large part of the problem. You have substituted actual think with some sort of ad hom.

It is industry wide, gaming culture wide.

She doesn't. At no point does she do that.

Did you even read the article?

Incorrect. You jump to some really broad interpretation of the article really fast. Maybe this hits a little to close to your behavior?

Women are harassed, viciously by men.
Not all men. But it's there and people like you just turn a blind eye and use excuses to be offended at a women pointing out this issue.
This is text messages, threats emailed to you, men send death threats that include personal informaiton, like what kind of car and location.
And it isn't uncommon., in that every woman will experiences it often.

"This woman thinks I'm asshole with no self-control for no other reason than because I have a penis. "
there is nothing in the article that implies that, you are reading into it as a reason to be insulted. Because outrage is easier then trying to help.

more like an awesome way for Google to grab a profitable patent in exchange for the prize money.

Except they are not claiming any of the IP, just a 100 hr license to use it for the test. Also, why they claim they will not open the box up.

The good ol' V 194

"I was born ready" is far more hackneyed and over used.

I always found that to be overly wordy.
"Get in, hold on, and shut up" Makes more sense.
Who is going to get into a car and not sit down?

That's an odd line to draw simply to make yourself feel superior.

You are saying star control (1990) was the first "computer" game?
That's pretty stupid.

it depends on location. some ares it' rude, others it's the norm.

reminder: WE are talking about Novice players in a non tournament setting.

For everything else, yes it's rude.

Based on a weak urban myth?
Besides, if you get a battery that can do this work and meet these conditions, you would have invented a new type of battery. One that would make you billions.
