At what point do you determine that a bomb threat or shutdown is real? When they find a bomb? When someone dies? They are real threats.
Yes, those bomb threats called on Gamergate meetups were real, though I doubt you meant to admit that
Wu has had to move because people really did try to stalk her.
Right, that's why she continued posting pictures of her "working" inside her house after "fleeing."
Sarkeesian was threatened by someone who specifically vowed to recreate the anti-feminist Ecole Polytechnique massacre at a talk of hers.
Police looked at that threat and determined it wasn't credible. But I suppose you know better than them, huh?
Even if these people never intended to follow through... that's something you could go to prison for. And you've forgotten the inherent problem with internet harassment and threats: if hundreds of people are threatening to kill you or rape you, especially when you know that they're already doxxing you, is it really smart to assume that they're all just kidding? No, never. All it takes is one psychotic person to kill you.
And while you're at it, pretend the only ones who oppose you are the ones sending you threats, and oh by the way, did you know I have a patreon account and poor, oppressed, white upper middle class me, who is the only person who gets threatened on the internet, needs more money, hint, hint?
Ah, here's the problem: you're confused. You assume that discrimination and poor representation requires active efforts to keep someone out. No, that's rarely the case. The whole point is that there's a subtle men-favour-men bias. Women are still The Other in the game industry, whether it's as employees or the target audience (see how many first-person shooters are designed as bro-fests), so there's this tendency for male developers to focus on what they know.
They focus on what the market wants, which doesn't align with the imbecilic political ideologies of social justice keyboard warriors, despite your worst nightmares.
Also, please give me a verbatim quote showing that women have asked for more programmers regardless of qualifications. No excuses, no cop-outs.
Oh, that's right... there aren't any quote, because this is what you imagine these women believe, not what they actually believe.
And you'd know what they really believe, being telepathic and all. BTW, your appeals for evidence are hilarious, since you refuse to provide any for your make-believe "they're all *secretly* discriminating against women" diatribes.
Of course women want anyone to get in with proper qualifications. It'd ultimately hurt their cause if sub-par programmers got in. And as for more applications... well, put your money where your mouth is: support efforts to improve computer programming and STEM education for women.
They exist. They're called "computer programming and STEM" classes. Women are free to take them, just like men are. But since effort and talent are anathema to non-contributing fake feminists, I can see how this would confuse you.
