Bomb Threat Targeted Anita Sarkeesian, Game Developers Choice Awards Last March

Why do people hate Anita Sarkkesian so much?

Because some people, for reasons I don't even understand myself, feel their hobby is being attacked by her. Anita calling out some trends in some games is to their minds the equivalent of calling them a PoS for enjoying it in the first place. The really dumb ones think feminists and SJWs actually have enough influence to completely change all games for the worst too. They think games like Gone Home being critically lauded is the writing on the wall.
 
Y'know, it's immature people like them that makes me want to defend people like Anita more (though I already agree with most of everything that she says). And I'm a guy.

You know what's even funnier? The more threats levied against her, the more her cause becomes mainstream and supported by more people and larger, better funded, and better organized groups.

These guys and gals(because its anon, we can't assume it's only men) Swatting her and harassing her for stupidly childish reason are only going to bolster her arguments against gaming in general, for better or worse.

So, his father was in his seventies when he was conceived?
 
Sorry for bumping this, but this just happened for Sarkeesian's latest public appearance at Geek Girl Con 2014

I saw that today but it didn't sink in. She's saying that the GDC award ceremony bomb threat in March was just one of three in what amounts to an ongoing campaign.
