I think the "progressive" art indie dev is actually a manipulative abusive partner who by her own definition raped her boyfriend several times thing is what has people laughing.

Yeah, they're reported on arguably personal issues before, but oh no this time it's loving requiring several days of thinking before reporting on it because a friend of a friend is involved

Who can get that many internet nerds to agree to coordinate about anything?

Let alone ignoring a salacious story about a game dev abusing a partner, fighting with other game devs, and acting badly for self-promotion? The whole thing should be catnip for clickbait writers. The Fish guy even went off on a woman who said she'd been sexually harassed. Total silence.

Reading about relationships with significant others might be Triggering for lonely, single depressed people. You were mocking a poster for closing the game immediately when being confronted with Triggering material. You're the real dumdum.

Hey guys I've been thinking...

Lowtax said the poster of the helldump was a parachute account to begin with and she said she's been a goon since '02. What if she hell dumped herself here and then on tumblr? Kind of makes you think with the phil fish hack pretty much for sure being a fake. I want to believe.

Dunno, my theory is, if he did do it, he and/or ZQ did it to distract everyone/make themselves out to be victims.

A lot of the outrage and interest comes from how blatant it is. The 'journalists' openly give Zoe money every month. Lots of them. Which is really hosed up. Sure people can say "oh it's just video games" but no poo poo everything is relative.

4chan gave two thousand dollars to some charity event, where women are invited to pitch ideas for games, and whichever game wins in a vote will be developed with crowdfunding money, while all proceedings will go to charities and something like 8% for the idea ladies. Some people are mad because women aren't paid enough for their ideas. And also there is a very similar event that Zoe is behind. That's what I've heard.

This event came first, before she went out of her way to kill it by calling it sexist and creating her own to fill in the void. lol

This would be a roadbump if the response was just, "we hosed up in the past, didn't establish proper boundaries and should behave more like professionals in this future".

Instead the entire "indie" industry were like racehorses out of a gate competing to find out who could act like the biggest stupid rear end in a top hat.

Who knows, Renaud Bédard (Fez programmer) says Phil Fish's dropbox was hacked (which contained the server credentials). It doesn't mean Phil didn't do it, but he did so without telling anyone else.

I doubt he did it, even if his bipolar was really bad. Voluntarily releasing that information would ruin his business, friendships, and bring on a shitload of legal action from businesses such as Microsoft and Sony. To top it all off any potential employer googling his name would laugh him out the door. Its suicide, short of actually killing yourself.

Some game he probably hasn't started working on is very different to confidentiality agreements with big companies, financial records, and royally loving over colleagues. That's some next level poo poo, even for Fish.
