[quote=Dervish]but the fact that there's nobody speaking out against the fact that a huge chunk of the internet [s]gaming[/s] population thinks it's acceptable to say that shit[/quote]

Corrected that for you. 
In this specific case it mainly effect's gamers, so mainly gamers are speaking up. But this is how the Internet communicates, it's not actually intended to be hostile. That's just the Internet language. Words are honestly just sounds (and in the internets case, letters) made in certain patterns that people assign certain meanings to. Just like how words, behaviours etc. have different meanings depending on the culture, the internet also communicates in a different way.

In all cases, or in cases where the 'victim' is a woman?
Men receive these threats and hate mail [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RRBoPveyETc]all the time.[/url] Hell just look at [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MmZjtQzAtRo]Jack Thompson.[/url]

People who have the thick skin to handle criticism (male or female) simply deal with it and keep up what they're doing.
The only reason this stuff get's attention is because the person getting the threats and negative attention is a woman.

[b]Edit:[/b] To clarify, when I say "The only reason this stuff get's attention" I am referring specifically to the threats Zoe gets. Not the Journalism and Zoe Quinn issue overall.

You're way more up to date in this than I am. XD
Where are you getting this information? I'd like to be able to keep this updated also. :P

[quote=Dervish]and you can't claim all of the horrific comments and dirt dug up were from her people.[/quote]

Date tracking, IP tracking. Basic pattern detection (such as if Zoe and Phil were actually hacked, why were their twitters 100% unaffected, and 4chan got their own symbol wrong?). It's rather easy if you have the technical know how.
