I'm not a gamer myself, but I am not against gamers whether they play Pong or 'GTA V' (for obvious reasons, I think we can agree that 'Rapelay' is most definitely something we are all against). Is it a bunch of kids who don't know any better or some other demographic? Is this a small minority or something larger? A lot of the fear is that we don't understand it, and we fear what we don't understand. It may help lead to an understanding of who, why and how many. Not because gaming is bad, but because there are people in gaming that are acting badly. It could also be an important one since this (the threats against the gamer's real life counter part are real, though a IRL attack has not-yet) has been happening in real life and should have attention brought to it. This could turn out to be a very controversial episode of SVU, ripped from the headlines or not.

In my opinion, it's not the subject matter itself (which seems to me is simply the backdrop), but the people who ditch debate to lash out using gaming as an excuse.
