Woman Messages 37-Year-Old Guy's Mom After He Sent Her a Nasty Message

Well deserved!

One nasty message can say a lot more about the sender than the person it was aimed at. In this case, a 37-year-old man decided to go after a woman online, and she responded in a way that quickly turned the whole thing into a bigger conversation.

The woman, Kallie Plagge, works as a writer for GameSpot and has dealt with plenty of harassment from angry gamers before. After a review she wrote about Days Gone drew backlash, she messaged the man’s mother after he sent her a rude note, then shared the exchange on Twitter, where it picked up a huge reaction.

The reason behind all of this is a review Plagge made about the popular game "Days Gone."

“Most aspects of Days Gone lack purpose,” Plagge wrote. “Its many narrative threads flirt with being meaningful and interesting but never quite commit, with characters whose actions and motivations don’t make sense.”

A lot of people didn't share her views, considering that the average player score based on the ratings from GameSpot was 8.4. She also received around 950 comments on her article, in addition to two dozen messages in her DMs on Facebook and Tweets from angry fanboys.

It did not take long for the backlash to get personal.

Plagge decided not to reveal the identities of either the man or his mother and encouraged people to raise awareness about harassment.

“There needs to be less rhetoric about, ‘Don’t feed the trolls,’ because they will come no matter what,” Kallie said. “And my philosophy on it is I’m not going to just lie down and be silent. I don’t want anyone to forget that this is what we have to do to perform our jobs.”

Evidently, people had a lot to say about this incident:
