That's actually quite incorrect. The threats were real. That's why the FBI (and not local law enforcement) investigated both the late August 2014 Twitter threat (which was considered serious and credible because it contained her address and names of family/friends) and the Utah St. University incident (for obvious reasons).
That's contrary to sources which I saw, including video of the FBI spokesperson for the case, who concluded no threats had been found.
Do you have a source for this? Considering the massive amount of lies the feminist group pumps out, and their extremist and hatefull character (I mean, 'all gamers are sexist', how far gone is she?), citation would be needed before it can be taken seriously.
Where, exactly, is your source, and to incident are you referring? And what do you mean by "no threats have been found"? Are you saying that the threats themselves were fake/non-existent or that the authorities investigated the threats and determined that the threats were designed to harass Sarkeesian and were unlikely to be carried out? Big difference.
Anyway, here are mine:
"San Francisco police public information officer Albie Esparza told Polygon that Sarkeesian had filed a report with the police department about the threats she received online and that the police department handed the information to the FBI for investigation."

"A number of personnel at Utah State University received an email regarding the scheduled presentation by Anita Sarkeesian tomorrow, October 15, 2014, at USU's Taggart Student Center. The email contained threats to Sarkeesian and those who attend her presentation."

"A multi-law enforcement agency task force, including the FBI, was hunting Wednesday for the author of an email threatening bloody mayhem at Utah State University if feminist writer Anita Sarkeesian spoke on campus."

In the case of the Utah St. threat, the authorities investigated and assessed threat and determined that it was similar to other threats Sarkeesian had received recently, i.e. designed to harass.
That sounds like a fancy way of saying "No credible threats were found", making me even more suspicious. That Sarkeesian loves playing victim using self-fabricated 'threats' and by taking internet trolling seriously to waste police time, is pretty well known, so once again, citation direly needed.
"Fabricated"? "Trolling"? Seriously? THEY'RE REAL. Someone threatened to shoot up a fucking school if she spoke there. That's a waste of time to you?
"USU police ? working with FBI cyber-crime experts and other law enforcement computer specialists, such as the Statewide Information & Analysis Center (SIAC) ? are taking the threat seriously. "There's no doubt: We are going to pursue this. The investigation is underway," Vitale said. "We have the best people in the business on this, tracing the email and IP [Internet Protocol] addresses, following that trail to the end."
