You have dishonoured the term 'human being poo poo poster'. I propose the new term 'human being poo poo poster+' to distance you from the community.

After thinking a bit about it, maybe gamer is a pretty dumb thing to identify as. I like a lot of things more than games

Who really is Zoe Quinn?

I'm finding it really hard to believe that a person who, for all intents and purposes, did not exist until 2010 has become so important to so many different people in so many different positions of power that they'd rather systematically attempt to destroy the word "gamer" than just sever ties with her.

This doesn't seem like an appropriate response.

Sure Zoe may have done some dumb things, but then again, High school drama is always dumb and why should I give sad boyfriend so much credit

Nothing in Jurassic World is natural, we have always filled gaps in the genome with the DNA of other animals. And if the genetic code was pure, many of them would look quite different. But you didn't ask for reality, you asked for more teeth.

i sure love video games, which are for children

I know you're trolling, but video games aren't even the real problem if you're talking about adults liking childish stuff. Like 90% of American culture is becoming infantilized. All those superhero movies making tons of money, all those adult Harry Potter, Hunger Games, and Frozen fans, Twilight Moms, etc. All of pop culture is becoming childish.

She's just some borderline personality disorder loser, she's nothing. It's just that she decided to burn her Get Out Of Jail Free cards from Maya Kramer (@legobutts)'s star chamber of game journos, and made it how obvious what a circlejerk they all were.

Maybe the journalists involved are overreacting, but then again, I've rarely felt that I've been tricked by them into buying a bad game and while the quality of some of them is bad, I can always find another one that I enjoy

she made a dece indie thing about depression, some game enthusiasts wrote articles about it. later she dumps some sad sack who then writes a manifesto about how she's Slutty Hitler, people accept the crazy ramblings for ??? reason (you can prolly guess)

she's a big deal now because people are mad at FAKE GAMER women bitching about sjw things, they prolly really wish this had happened to anita sarcardassian instead but will gladly take some blue haired twiggy weirdo as an offering in her stead

i think zoe quinn is the person who was saying 30% of the profits went to the head dude of tfyc, got corrected, tried to correct the correction with some bullshit, got corrected again, and then scampered off without admitting they made a mistake.

And since I do not personally suffer from depression I cannot judge if it misrepresents the issue, but at least it tries to tackle a serious subject in a respectful way.

It was good that she apologized for the damage she did to the game jam, a concept of which I found a little bit dumb, but I will respect their wishes and consider her part in it forgiven.
