Is there anyone on any side of this who isn't acting like a shithead?

The people who are mounting any case against Quinn are at least partially a bunch of lovely meganerds gangpiling onto a fairly benign woman because they perceive her as a target they can actually hit without much fear of reprisal, while the people supporting her seem to be ensconced in a bubble of victimization and refuse to acknowledge that there's any sort of underlying issue here other than misogyny and internet bullying because this was started by a bitter ex and involves a woman's sex life.

The only thing bullshit about this story is that these people are earnestly referred to as game developers, their games are the equivalent of early 2000's yahoo chat channel regulars who would spend all week using Fruity Loops to make a lovely song while pretending to be musicians

the problem is that people are even talking about it in the first place. its such a complete loving non-issue. some girl cheated on her boyfriend, whoop-dee-loving-doo. and yes I am very aware of the inherent irony in my writing of this post, thank you very much.

You're right, but I think you're taking the outrage over this as direct outrage at Zoe Quinn destroying ~Video Game Ethics~ or whatever was supposed to be destroyed. From as much as I can tell, people are upset because this is pretty much direct confirmation of poo poo they've suspected for a long time about the industry. So this is the retarded Internet equivalent of a riot or something. I just know it's loving hilarious.

You can barely even call Depression Quest a game, it was created with a prefab engine (a la RPG Maker) and she didn't even try to push any of the boundaries on it one bit like you see with people doing with RPG Maker (The Way) or people with Game Maker (Risk of Rain, etc). She just filled in all the text fields. It's a joke.

Even if it isn't, no one can say anything bad about Mr.Quinn without being shouted down by tumblrites, so her sway over such a large number of people is pretty annoying. Shits fascinating nonetheless.

A bunch of sexist dudes don't like games being critiqued on grounds of sexism or analyzed as political works, like literally any other media. They construct a conspiracy in their minds, that this is surely the result of 'corruption' in games journalism, rather than a necessary precondition for gaming evolving as an actual artform.

So a woman suspected of sleeping with a gaming journalist for positive reviews is A Big Deal because it 'confirms' their dumb rear end ideas about a feminist-freemason-whatever conspiracy.

That's literally the only reason this is a big deal: the confirmation bias of paranoid nerds.

Like it's clearly unprofessional and zoe is clearly a bad person, but is this response in any way proportional to whatever she did?
