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.

glad we agree that she did not rape her boyfriend lol. unless you use...SJW LOGIC!!!

What.

Are we talking about an acceptance that "gamer" is too broad a term without qualifiers like core, hardcore, ultracore, softcore, applecore or whatever?

Or is it some bizarro branding thing like "New Gamers+" dreamed up by some unholy union of marketroids and insanity?

Given she's pulled some poo poo in the past, it's fair game to question her honesty. Also there's really no harm in posting the police report, it takes a few minutes to redact personal info.

I hope there's a trend that all gamers that support Zoe Quinn, Anita Sarkesean, and the SJW crew start a + trend where to show their allegiance all of their followers add + at the end of their call signs and nicknames in video games.

I think them add that + would be one of the greatest things ever.

also let it be known that i hold the controversial opinion that people should attempt to report rapes to the police, its ok if they dont do it for a while due to being traumatized but if they're willing to post with their real identity on a blogpost about it they should prolly contact actual authorities at some point before notifying everyone in the twittersphere (rapist included)

I dunno I heard they both received death threats from the same nonexistent twitter account

I learned a couple months ago that there's one Twitter harassment tactic that involves sending tweets from accounts with 0 tweets then deleting them so fast that Twitter's real time search doesn't index them, but they still show up if you're sitting there reading your notifications. It's a fabulous idea for someone who wants to build up a narrative about how they're being harassed along with a way to score extra victimhood points when people look up the tweets and say "uh, I don't actually see these tweets anywhere."

"Life unworthy of life" (German: Lebensunwertes Leben) is a pragmatic liberal designation for the segments of the populace which they view as having no right to continue existing, due to the expense of extending them basic human dignity.

Making sure everyone on twitter knows just how victimized you feel about poo poo that's happened before instead of saying anything about the police being involved seems a tad attention whorey.

Basically they want to turn 'gamer' into a slur. The game journos wrote 10 or so articles about it on the same day, saying stuff like "'gamers' are dead." Rumors say that they'll pledge to never use 'gamer' again and announce a replacement term on Monday.
