That she took something clearly on her side of the argument and obfuscated it to appear to be on the opposing side. Like GG is dumb as gently caress, but Wu is there same exact sort. Hence her game literally being nothing by hyper sexualized women.

Death threats are traumatic and just might make you overly cautious!

It's really perverse that gamergaters will send death threats and then titter amongst themselves when their victim shows signs of panic.

It's just that Brianna Wu has a history of faking death threats. The one time she claimed to have fleed her home, it was proven that she didn't actually leave. Not only that but she gave news interviews at her home at the same time she was suppose to have been gone. I think she has been called out a few other times since then, questionable tweets that appear to have been written by her where she is threatening herself.

If people just came out and said they don't have a moral problem with bigotry and hate speech as long as it's not government endorsed I'd have at least a little more respect for them. As it is I'm not sure who they think they're fooling besides maybe themselves

i dont think standing up for a cause you believe in makes anyone a poo poo head. i think that's a pretty normal thing to do, and you're just upset that people disagree with you, so you frame them as morally deficient in order to preserve the feeling that you're on the correct side of the argument
