    It's impossible to tell if the threats were serious statements of intent from a homicidal individual or were just made "for the lulz", in the language of online trolls, in order to sow chaos and discord and deny Sarkeesian a platform for her views.

How terrifying is it that we have a culture that determines that the proper response to a woman talking about wanting to be welcome/equal in a community is to threaten to kill her?
