I used to miss LF but I was only around there for the fanfic and the making fun of the Obama spreadsheet autist dude so I guess it got problematic after I stopped following it.

by the end there really wasn't a whole lot to justify maintaining it, though. i think the best argument it had going for it in the final year was that it served to contain a lot of bad posters that might otherwise spread out to d&d

This is pretty long, but it sort of updates some of the information

Just to give the summary of stuff he gives:

1. There's a growing amount of evidence that a really expensive Game Jam that crashed and burned was actually destroyed by Zoe. Zoe and the Selection Chair of the Jam were in a relationship as well as the reporter that broke the story and used Zoe the Chair as sources for who was responsible for the Jam crashing and burning. On the same day the article came up, Zoe registered the domain for her Rebel Jam which takes donations to her personal paypal and hasn't had any updates since.

2. Kotaku and other gaming press have had no problems reporting on sex scandals involving male game developers in the past and even stretching the truth, however Zoe somehow is getting special treatment and they refuse to talk about her.

3. A number of gaming journalists are donating to Zoe's Patreon account which is a massive breach of ethics.

This is only true if they subsequently write any pieces about her work without disclosing that they actively finance her. I'm sure there are film critics that might patreon-ize (ugh) indie filmmakers.

I think there's more issues (ethically) with them actively financing an alleged abuser who won't address the allegations of abuse, but will continue to shout about the amount of abuse she's receiving. :shrug:

This thread would be way easier to read if everybody who doesn't think it's a big deal would just not post. That way the rest of us can laugh efficiently.

We get it that nerds are unjustifiably mad. That's why its funny. Anything where people care too much can be funny, especially when nobody is being decapitated over it.
