The fuck is he talking about?
The FBI FOIA requests show that like almost all the fucking death threats came from third-party agitators (and mention Something Awful by name):
THE FUCKING FBI said:“During the course of the investigation, the FBI San Francisco continued analyzing threats [redacted] by sending subpoenas and tracking IP addresses associated with the email and twitter accounts. No additional subjects or actionable leads were developed as the result of the investigation.
“In addition, during the course of the investigation, another victim of “Gamergate”, [redacted] was identified and interviewed by the FBI. [redacted] resident of Boston, MA, was also receiving threats via twitter, email and youtube. Grand Jury subpoenas were also served [redacted]. Due to the use of proxies, no subjects or actionable leads were identified. Based on the videos posted on youtube, SA [redacted] identified [redacted] as the originator of those videos. [redacted] was interviewed by the FBI and it became apparent that [redacted] as a joke. Boston USAO was contacted regarding [redacted] and declined prosecution of the matter.”
This is on top of the fact that multiple inquiries, including the one from Women Action Media, showed that approximately 0.65% of all accounts using the GG hashtag, at the time, were actually harassing. I wish to christ if these assholes were gonna keep lying, they'd get less shit at it.
