The fact that it's a very small group of people not connected to Gamergate.

On October 14, 2014, Sarkeesian and Utah State University received terrorist threats pertaining to her planned lecture at the university the following day. The threats, one of which was issued by a person who claimed to be affiliated with Gamergate,[49] specifically cited the 1989 École Polytechnique massacre in Montreal, Quebec, Canada as inspiration.

Proof? I mean she did blow up on the guy the second she saw him. If she had continued with the panel and he in turn blew up at her it would have been a completly different story.

Until he actually does something other than site there silently, he has done nothing wrong. And we wont ever know, cause Anita went off on him before he even got to do anything. As of right now, she is clearly in the wrong.

So this is what happened?

Dude constantly berates lady he disagrees with, finds out she's holding an event from what i know is about anti bullying, guy sets up event to fill up seats in the front row for no reason other than to stick it to her.

Lady finds out and stands up for herself and people are mad at her? I'm not Anita's biggest fan and i disagree with her a lot but this is much different than the first reports of her attacking him unprovoked.

The latter part has no evidence to support it other than he is a douchebag, which he is, and therefore that must have been his plan all along. Even though they guy didn't even heckle her or at that point in time do anything to her other than going to see her panel.

On a panel where she was apparently talking about bullying, she goes off on a guy and calls him garbage. Which goes against all the rules at Vidcon.

Yeah, Sargon is an intellectually dishonest scumbag. That's not to claim everything he says is wrong, but if you engage in a heated political discussion with an incentive being the sadistic pleasure of "trolling" or harassing others, you are part of the corrupted and rotting pillar that supports the vitriolic state of public discourse in our country right now. As illogical and inconsistent as Anita is (And her emotional maturity is about on par with Sargon), upsetting people does not seem to be an intended consequence of her actions and words. Sargon is at leaet partially driven by the pleasure of upsetting and offending people.

Yup. Sargon is a bundle of barely concealed narcissism and self-masturbatory ranting. Just because he beats up on irrational radfems (It's easy to be "right" when your opponent is so self-defeating) does not mean he is an authority on these issues.

I don't want any of my posts in this topic to be construed as support for Anita, though. I think both Anita and Sargon display dangerous disregard for civility and reasoning in there statements. Saying Sargon acted like an antagonistic troll here (The most traditional meaning of trolling, as well--Figuratively trolling the waters of VidCon after baiting Anita for years and hoping for her to bite and say something emotional and stupid) is not to say Anita's response was appropriate (Though somewhat understandable). Neither of them have the intellect and integrity to lead this debate on the national stage, yet here we are.

tl;dr: Both are bad but for different reasons.

Good grief this is stupid. Morons like Sargon want Anita to stick around. Otherwise he has to find other stuff to get outraged over.

If you support shitty 'trolling' like this you're just ensuring this garbage sticks around. Sarkeesian's stuff has barely even been relevant for the last year or so. She could have just had her panel in peace and nobody here would have cared. But nope.

Unfortunately not true. Give sexists a safe space and they will conspire to destroy society, much like any other radical fringe group. Imagine if it was the KKK and a bunch of narcissistic black guys crashed the party.
