She's associated with zoe because both of their careers basically hinge around being victims of the patriarchy in all the hamfisted quote marks you can muster. There's strong evidence that both have at points made up harassment against themselves for credit and attention. The abandoning the house shtick being perhaps the funniest because people from the social justice crew sent deaththreats to a literal 13 year old who was somehow more mature than them and didn't take the internet seriously.

I'm unclear on exactly what's going on. Do any of these game journalism sites have a well-researched article on this (impartial, interview all sides, that kind of thing)?

Well, you say that but there was nothing preventing her from getting informed about this drama before tweeting about how this is a misogynistic witch hunt.

Nothing happened at PAX except more self-righteous tweeting. The Escapist forced one of their writers to apologize via twitter and they did so in the most weaselly, fuming way possible.

I don't know about PAX but the owners of escapist and other video game journalism outlets as well as video game companies are really loving angry at their writers because they've been SJW's instead of shills for games for over a week now.

Nope, that's actually one of the main complaints. Basically the closest you'll get to well-researched and impartial views are this thread and some of the individual tumblr articles (of all things) linked in this thread. Basically the easiest summery is outspoken feminists sexually abuses her boyfriend then uses internet social progressiveness to try and smother all criticism by labeling it as misogyny, this caused a backlash that's been slowing pushing as more and more people read past the initial clickbait articles and learn that zoe was a terrible person who did terrible things to people who loved her and this has called a bunch of sites, people, and communities into question over how honestly they handle these kind of issues.

She had non consensual sex with her boyfriend that she considers rape by her own definition. I think it's pretty fair to call her a rapist.

Nothing happened at PAX, but rumors say that the game journos are gonna do something Monday that has to do with the whole 'gamers are dead' thing (possibly ditching the term, similar to what happened with Atheism+)

The Escapist's co-founder made a thread basically saying "yeah sorry about my son he's not allowed to use twitter anymore" and Bob Chipman posted an obviously forced apology shortly afterward.

She's a huge part of the problem and that you can't acknowledge siding with a self admitted rapist before hearing the whole story was a bad move means you are too. Sorry this hurts your high horse stick but feminism is a two way street.

She's not the law but it's actually a fairly academically rigorous definition. At least one country (sweden) has tried to prosecute someone for their equievelent of rape using "would not consented to it had the person been honest" in a particularly famous case. Beyond that though it's her own definition of rape (she was using it to manipulate her boyfriend to make it even more scummy), it's fair to lampoon her for violating it.
