I remember an incident years ago where this batshit crazy girl who also happened to work at an investment bank went off on some train conductors and it kinda went viral and she hired some sort of PR/SEO firm to scrub all references to her.

There's 40 pages of this poo poo, so I need a little clarification.

Zoe made a game, and slept with some journalists, so they'd give her favourable reviews. Though no such good reviews have been written.
People are up in arms and attacking her because...
-She's internet famous, and nothing gamers like more than making GBS threads on internet famous women?
-She has a terrible taste in guys, and gamers are mad they didn't make the cut?
-She's an attention whore, and this is the attention she got?

I'm not reading 40 pages to sort this all out. Thanks!

I had my team work on it and I think it's this:
- Reddit account posts a lot of similarly worded defenses of purple hair person. Also posts a RIP to that guy ISIS killed in /r/boston and mentions they are in PR
- Someone on 4chan notices this and posts it
- Reddit account subsequently deletes all posts
- After this gets discussed, same account posts that they weren't a PR person but instead a journalist doing a social experiment on Internet witch hunts

Of course, given that this is the Internet, that could also literally just be one guy from 4chan making all this up. Or maybe she hired a PR person to make Reddit posts. The best part is this is all completely unverifiable.

Well, that's pretty much true but I guess if she had her rent money on her, in cash, at 4 AM, walking down 15th towards the Castro, looking around confused like a tourist, or maybe she had fallen asleep in GGP and woke up just as the junkies were coming out of hiding or something. Both of which are covered by "really being dumb".

she made a bad game
slept with a journalist, her boss, and a guy on the judges panel for an award that her game won
pretended that she had been raided by some weird 4chan offshoot to get publicity
lied about a bunch of stuff
is accepting donations for something she probably never intends to actually do

and the internet is going into some kind of weird autistic frenzy about it


it's bad though

if you want I can put the summary in the OP for you guys but it's this:

gross piece of human garbage with BPD and indie game designer, Zoë Quinn (fake name, real umlaut), has a habit of sleeping around and some of the guys she cheated on her boyfriends/husbands with were game journalists. A boy she cheated on went around the internet trying to rile up nerds against Quinn, going on reddit, 4chan, and even here. Naturally idiot nerds are either claiming she's a malicious slore who sleeps her way to internet fame, or she's a tender flower who's just being oppressed by the patriarchy.
Either way you skin the cat, don't forget she's disgusting and didn't shower for her second wedding.
