The circle? I didn't see her threatening to kill or rape anyone. I'm pretty sure she's not putting it out there as retribution. It'd be pretty ineffective retribution considering the offenders put it out there themselves. I believe the point was to show how bad the harassment has become.

There are clearly both bigoted and inclusive gamers. I don't think anyone is saying "all gamers are sexist." But there is clearly a problem here that's worth discussing.

No, I think "the messed up part about the whole situation" is the inexcusable harrassment she is subjected to.

The fact that it's legal to say something, that it's uncensored, doesn't mean that it's right. Those are two different things.

Twitter is mostly public, so it is really a case of self-shaming on the part of the abusive commenters.
