Re: Death threats for talks about sexism in video games
I'll see if I can find any of the original studies, but I can make no promises. I generally do try to investigate which biases the researchers have on things like that (acknowledging here that everyone has biases and as much as people like to pretend, they can't eliminate them entirely when doing research).

Re: Death threats for talks about sexism in video games
Wow. Just... wow. This thread. ******************************************* A NOTE TO THE MEN IN THIS THREAD SUGGESTING THE WOMEN IN QUESTION ARE OVERREACTING: Trying to advise women on how to handle threats of physical violence by giving examples of how you or other men handle them is, at best, ignorant and useless.
