Someone explain to me why integrity in video games journalism is expected?

Like the entertainment media in Hollywood is loving trashy but no one gives a poo poo.

Worse, media in DC fraternizes with politicians and lobbyists all the loving time and this has actual impacts on our world and our bank accounts.

But no. OUR GAEMZ need unbiased coverage for our mass consumer products.

Gaming Misogyny Gets Infinite Lives: Zoe Quinn, Virtual Rape, and Sexism

A lady developer was harassed by her vindictive ex-boyfriend. Some gamers ‘rape’ other avatars in Grand Theft Auto V. Is there no game over to sexism in the industry?
The chronic problem of misogyny had another flare-up this week with a disturbing harassment campaign organized against indie game developer Zoe Quinn, the mind behind Depression Quest. It’s a story that demonstrates, yet again, how serious the problem of misogyny in the gaming world is and how any woman in it can find herself targeted by the howling mobs of woman-haters on the Internet, often on the thinnest of pretenses.

While, as is usual with these kind of real-time Internet harassment situations, there’s a lot of dispute about who said what and when, everyone agrees that this particular story starts with a vindictive ex-boyfriend. Quinn’s ex started a blog specifically to humiliate and shame her over their failed relationship, making lengthy accusations of cheating.

Even though the appropriate response to infidelity it to terminate the relationship and go your separate ways like proper adults, the ex’s gambit worked. As Fruzsina Eördögh at Vice’s Motherboard explained, the harassment campaign “includes sharing her personal information, defamatory YouTube videos, and weird phone calls to her parents.”

Quinn herself described the abuse as “the proliferation of nude pictures of me, death threats, vandalization, doxxing of my trans friends for having the audacity to converse with me publicly, harassment of friends and family and my friends’ family in addition to TOTALLY UNRELATED PEOPLE, sending my home address around, rape threats, memes about me being a whore, pressures to kill myself, slurs of every variety, loving debates over what my genitals smell like,” all pushed by her ex and his use of “4chan as his own personal army"

It doesn’t even matter how much of her ex’s accusations are true or not, because it’s nothing but pure misogyny to use online harassment troops to punish a woman because she didn’t meet your standards for a girlfriend.

It’s being referred to by those engaging in the harassment as the “Zoe Quinn cheating scandal,” a phrasing that implies, ridiculously, that the private relationship snafus and infidelities of a video game developer rise to the level of public interest. But even the misogynist harassers of the Internet know it’s a stretch to justify abusing someone for garden variety infidelity. So, in a desperate attempt to justify this nonsense, Quinn’s ex and the harassers are accusing Quinn of an “ethics” violation, accusing her, no joke, of using sex to get a favorable review from Kotaku.

The fact that the review she was accused of “buying” doesn’t exist hasn’t slowed the self-righteous haranguing, of course. That’s because the “ethics” question is a paper-thin excuse for what’s really going on, which is that the video game world is thick with misogynists who are aching to swarm on any random woman held up for them to hate, no matter what the pretext.

But it also happened in the zombie game DayZ to video game writer Kim Correa. After she encountered another player who figured out she was female, his avatar murdered hers because “he wanted to rape my dead body.” Even though her character was dead, she could still hear him make “moaning and groaning noises,” an experience that rattled her so much she couldn’t play anymore for the rest of the night.
