Anita sarkeesian bomb threat speculaton
A bomb threat was made against Anita Sarkeesian at the GDC awards ceremony, and somehow Kotaku.com got the story first. In the email it said:
“A bomb will be detonated at the Game Developer’s Choice award ceremony tonight unless Anita Sarkeesian’s Ambassador Award is revoked. We estimate the bomb will kill at least a dozen people and injure dozens more. It would be in your best interest to accept our simple request. This is not a joke. You have been warned.”
According to organizers speaking with Kotaku The committee decided to play it safe and called in the EOD, and Bomb squad for the event to keep Anita, and the guests safe.
“Our EOD conducted a sweep of the premises and found nothing,” SFPD spokesperson Albie Esparza told Kotaku, adding that the department responds to all bomb threats. Esparza wouldn’t comment further on the investigation.
After no evidence was found, the GDC decided to continue with the ceremony, and beefed up security Just in case anything did happen to rear its ugly head during the proceedings.
Sarkeesian stated on Twitter that she and her family were threatened with bodily harm in August, which forced her to leave her home. The Tropes vs. Women star, also contacted the SFPD and opened an investigation into the matter.
Officer Esparza told Kotaku that the report of threats against Sarkeesian and her family were “Forwarded to the FBI, which is now handling the case.”
Now I don’t want to come off as negative here, or misogynistic in any way, but isn’t just a little too coincidental that Kotaku got this exclusive scoop with the officers, and the Bomb threat? I could surmise that they orchestrated the whole ordeal to continue the war against #Gamergate, and other groups they don’t necessarily approve of at the moment.
They are also very close with Anita Sarkeesian, and Zoe Quinn, who are a part of the war against #Gamergate, and Patricia Hernandez does write for them, who is a part of their female entourage. But wait there’s more, look who wrote the article, Stephen Totilo the Editor in Chief at Kotaku.com.
This make you ask another question: Why didn’t you let Nathan Grayson, or Patricia Hernandez cover this story? Most likely, because they were all at the GDC awards ceremony.
I’m not saying it’s completely true, but I know there’s more to this story than just the coincidental cascade of events we’ve read.
