"Evidence" against Anita's death threats.


So I've seen a picture circulating around the web that just proves Anita Sarkeesian faked her own death threat against her.

It talks about how the time from the last refresh is only 12 seconds. That all of the tweets are well written with proper grammar. Or that the tweets never went over the 140 character limit. And that therefore it was completely scripted.

I've also seen an argument suggest that because it included some "you're so sexy" types of comments, it just *couldn't* have been written by someone trying to torment her. That neck biting is a "feminine vampire fantasy." Which is related to Twilight which, complete with an assumption that Anita is all into that feminist fantasy. Complete with some amateur hour psychology too!


So some things. If I'm not logged into twitter and at say, https://twitter.com/AllanSchumacher/with_replies , if I hit F5 repeatedly the page refreshes just fine. The times also don't update unless I refresh again. So it simply means that the picture was taken at some point after that screenshot was taken. I don't need to quickly logout (which takes some time since it takes me to a generic screen). Not being logged in is hardly compelling evidence.

As for many tweets coming quickly? I decided to quickly write these series of tweets. http://i.imgur.com/PRw7hij.png Note I don't go over the 140 character limit, and I simply typed a stream of consciousness. I have one spelling mistake, but I seek to maintain proper spelling and grammar. Being able to write well is not evidence. Many people can write well.

As for the "you're so sexy" tweets and vampire fantasy? Anita has openly spoken out that Edward Cullen is fucking creepy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zQwqepW97zs
I'm not buying the Twilight connection.

Stop linking me (or other people) the nonsense "proof" that anything was fake. It's conjecture at best, conspiracy theory rhetoric that fits a narrative you're looking for at worse.
