he's bipolar as hell (I believe he admitted it) and in fact said in that one indie gaming documentary that if Fez didn't release he was seriously going to kill himself, which also makes him frightening unstable

Zoe Quinn is one of many women targeted by the Gamergate harassment campaign.

Support a feminist today!


wit posted:

Can someone summarise again so I have to read even less of this. Bullet points if possible.

Ok here's the story so far

1. Zoe Quinn is an indie game developer who's known as being one of the only female indie game developers and makes a big deal about misogyny in the industry.

2. Ex-Boyfriend posts a ton of poo poo about Zoe. In this amazing long rant he reveals some of the guys she cheated on him with whom other people recognize as important people in the industry. Such as Zoe's boss and a journalist who has covered Zoe in the past.

3. Various internet personalities call Zoe out on basically sleeping her way to the top. "sleep her way to a position draped over the bottom step" (Edit: Yeah she actually hasn't gotten to far)

4. Then things go into crazy town as we get poo poo like Total Biscuits thread on the issue getting massively censored by mods on Reddit, YouTube videos about it being taken down on bogus copyright claims, and a small gaming site covering it got doxxed. Zoe and other prominent people in the industry start a twitter poo poo storm about how this is a misogynist attack on Zoe.

5. A lot of gaming sites take the line this is just misogynist bullshit, and claim that the writer never wrote a review of Zoe's game... which is sort of true except he wrote several articles on several sites covering her and her game, albeit usually in the context of other games as well.

6. The Redditt mods and YouTube back off a bit and then the poo poo really starts rolling out. Tons of YouTube videos and other poo poo is made with guns all pointed at the Game Review industry. Twitter goes into full flame mode.

7. Then things go into full blown crazy. Zoe claims to be getting Doxx'd and that she's basically under siege from the misogynist witch hunt crusade to destroy her simply because she's a woman who wants to have sex. A guy who is largely unrelated to this except that he's a friend of Zoe and people being involved, namely Phil Fish, claims he's been hit with a massive hacker attack because he dared defend Zoe. He's now selling off his company and IP.

8. People counter that both Zoe and Fish's claims of these hacker attacks are highly suspect for numerous reasons with the consensus being either they had to be incredibly stupid, or they or people close to them had to do it themselves.

cuckolding implies that the spouse agrees with it, like hit game developer anthony burch, who is in an open relationship but not getting any pussy or dick on his end

NO! In the Neteflix Original Series ORANGE IS THE NEW BLACK the british guys wife cheats on him with his best friend and when he finds out he says in the british voice "you cuck-olded me?" and he did not give consent to being cucked. It's now a cuck-all term for being cheated on

Dollars to donuts the reason that they didn't try to talk to his ex-business partner in Indie Game: The Movie is because Fish wouldn't participate if they did.
