Probably because they are pretty happy with the status quo and are personally invested in it to a greater or larger extent so don't want to rock the boat / will make sure any potential boat rockers get thrown overboard with great acceleration and alacrity.

Well, Zoe Quinn used her friends to kill a Game Jam and used her twitter army to almost kill TFYC and that's only the poo poo we know for sure, so it's probably pretty smart to be scared of her unless you know there'll be more voices to support yours than she can dump on you with a single call to her twitter army and the twitter armies of all her buddies.

Falsum posted:

Sort of. She's made tweets that are obviously about this drama but don't reference it directly.

She's talking about the ex here, right? :v:

Vag Assault Weapon posted:

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.

The only feasible scenario that would happen in is if Zoe kept imploding so loving hard and kept turning people against her that it seriously threatened Anita's ability to do her own thing, so she'd amputate the diseased, cucking foot to save the leg (feminism in gaming). I mean, she certainly ain't gonna do it out of the goodness of her heart.

Yeah it's all about when Drama Quinn becomes too much of a liability for the movement. IMO she's been one for a few days now.

I encourage children who are bullied to kill themselves. In fact, I get off to it. Pedophilia-snuff films are the best. More abused children need to kill themselves.

I remember loading up Depression Quest a couple of years ago or something when it was being talked about like some kinda great thing. Took me the better part of a minute to see that it was pandering garbage that was hastily cobbled together from html for sad-brained idiots thinking that it was some sort of artistic meaningful thing.

I pretty much dismissed Zoe Quinn as a 'game developer' right there and then.

i remember playing it around the time it first came out

one of the lines on the very first textwall was something like "i returned home to my girlfriend and" so i went to /v/ to see what they thought about the game and that part was received with a flood of george costanzas and feels guys
