The person who used to argue with TFYC and called 4chan posted an apology.

She is believed to be Anita Sarkeesian because her previous avatar was a very obvious cutout of the Feminist Frequency banner and her description said "feminist blogger using an alt account", but I doubt that.

I legit don't know a single god drat thing about dragonball z or any anime, video games, reddit or 4chan. And that's not bragging, I should now all of that except maybe anime bullshit but I just don't care.

That's a real drat good writeup on it. If it is Anita she's much more deserving of the attention she originally got. (not the bad kind, the kind that she got to elevate her future work)

Yeah, I wasn't feeling the "it's actually Anita" theory at first and this all but scuttles it. Even from an alt account, I don't think Anita would ever turn the PR spin off long enough to say something so genuine.

I highly doubt that; Anita wouldn't get fired for publicly condemning Zoe since she's more or less self-employed.

No chance it's Anita. She's got her own personal twitter and wouldn't have used her logo for a fake account.

I really like how the SJW often resort to insults like "neckbeard", "virgin" and "nerd" when a large portion of their following is exactly that. I mean nodding man is hardly what I'd consider a keeper.

probably because everyone involved with this is an awful human being and if you have something at stake in this you should just stay the gently caress away and never mention it again

I feel like unless Anita wraps her mind around it and says some things about Zoe being the complete opposite of SJW that it will just be business as usual. It's going to attack a very specific attack on her entire character for her cult of personality retards to see how she freaks out over it in order for any of them to change.

It's also funny that 20,000 viewers is considered an 'army', I had livejournal and melodramatic accounts that drew that much traffic and I was just a dumb Sicilian kid writing dumb poo poo about moving to the US back then.

There's apparently some secret cabal website that the top indie devs congregate on, like illumiinatigame.com or some weird poo poo and it's invite only, Zoe bitches to ex boyfriend about how she should be on it but she has an ex boyfriends on the selection committee preventing it from happening

Something I don't really get is why the journos that were doing it as a hobby and all left (from that tumblr post a page ago) don't group up and make a new reviewing site based on the idea of doing it as a hobby and not making it your career.

I get that, but at the same time I'm trying to wrap my head around it. I assume for the heads of the different sites, that's they're actual job. With that, the AAA publishers are the ones you don't wanna piss off. So why the gently caress did this woman who wasn't anything in the industry and created one lovely "game" achieve some sort of amazing status that you don't question. I guess I just don't know a drat thing about the 'behind the scenes' poo poo.
