Brianna Wu who is a female game developer has been recently targeted on twitter and has been receiving threatening messages on Twitter. These messages were sent due to Brianna being a feminist and supporting women in the gaming department. This obviously made someone unhappy about what she was doing. She then was forced to leave her own home so that she feels safe elsewhere. The messages have been censored in the article as the words were inappropriate. She had also received death threats which scared her the most. These messages have been reported and they are looking for the person behind these threats.

- Took place on saturday 11/10/14
- Death threats were sent
- Reason for threats, she was a feminist
What has happened here is a woman has been threatened due to her backing up other females. She is a feminist who supports other females in the gaming industry. Someone did not like this idea so decided to threaten her for her actions. I believe this is wrong and she has acted in the right manner to leave her house as she felt unsafe.
