How have they made that clear exactly? By condemning the actions of the tiny number of people being abusive? The tiny number of people who have nothing to do with "gamergate" in the first place? Do you seriously not have any moral qualms about lying about millions of people and claiming they target and intimidate people? If you are going to make claims like that, you need to back it up with evidence. You can't just claim one sick person's actions are the fault of some other group of people.

Actually I can. That group of people acts as an enabling environment, making the behaviour seem less extreme to those associated in that group.

I don't see these "millions of people" actively working to make sure the person making those threats is found and brought to justice. Instead, I see lots of them going "yeah, that bad, but the other side did...." or "hey look, she was logged onto 8chan. She probably did it herself" or at best "We shouldn't say too much until we know who did it".

I'll condemn that behaviour all day (behind the safety of my throwaway account)

Good! That is the police's job, not random internet mobs. Look how well internet vigilante justice has worked out every other time. What we do see is exactly what we should see: them condemning this garbage regardless of who it happens to. Oddly enough, we don't see the "journalist"/indie side condemning the #gamergate supporters being sent threats and even syringes full of mystery liquids.

The actions of a few do not invalidate an entire group of people.

Take a step back, and realize that you are literally using the same exact argument as islamophobes.

And no, I'm not saying this behind the safety of a throwaway account because I'm not afraid of you, or random internet trolls willing to call me names.
