The last episode of HAWP was a really weird thing about how some so-called "girl-gamers" dress too sexy and are just trying to impress men.

why does this piglet have a wiki article?
how does someone justify creating a wikipedia article for someone and not have a picture, date of birth, hometown, or literally any information about any moment in their life prior to this year :wtc:

Eeeh, I disagree with that. They're really bad because you should always introduce feminism with real-life examples. Also, her videos have gems like calling male sex workers gigolos and female sex workers prostituted women, which implies that men are in charge of their actions but women aren't, even though sexual liberation is a pretty big part of modern feminism. So they're bad at even teaching basic feminist theory.

Look at the talk page and you'll find that someone tried to delete it and got this response

quote:

This article should not be speedily deleted for lack of asserted importance because Quinn was the center of a large media controversy within the video game industry, focused on misogyny within the industry, due to the harassment she faced. As part of a larger discussion about misogyny within the video game industry, Quinn is one of the defining resistant female figures.

How could the page be edited in order to convey this importance? — Preceding unsigned comment added by ShaunEdmonds (talk • contribs) 19:49, 30 May 2014‎ (UTC)

Contested deletion 2[edit]
This article should not be speedily deleted for lack of asserted importance because:

I've added additional details to show her importance. Besides her role in Depression Quest and the subsequent harassment, she:

1) produced the first Twine game released on Steam

2) took part in the failed YouTube indie game developer game_jam reality tv show

3) created the Game Developer Help List to bring together veteran and novice game developers


Hopefully this provides sufficient evidence of her importance, particularly to the indie video game community!


Thank you,

Alter Ego is pretty great, and disturbing as gently caress in parts, especially if you're playing the male version. It pulls few punches.

The "quiz" questions you get asked for determining school grades are ancient as hell now though, so you might want to have Wikipedia handy. :P

Edit: Actually I just gave it :10bux: to see if it still works and it went through, so somebody probably just hacked it to gently caress with 4chan.

It was originally funding the Game Jam (The Young Capitalists) that Zoe Quinn hosed over. Indiegogo stepped in and told them to gently caress off, lots of 4Chan tears incoming.

Why I think it's probably a hack: It's 3:31am EST, there's no post on the twitter or website of the game dev people (TFYC) rubbing it everyone's faces, etc etc
