maybe zoe quinn is an a-hole and cuck-queen, i dont think that merits spreading nudes of her and accusing every website of being biased in her favor because they don't want to report on relationship drama
Are you an idiot? Everyone thinks it's biased because when cases with even less proof came up against men all those websites went in lockstep against the alleged rapists, actively attacked their careers, and caused them to lose job opportunities. This issue has actual chatlogs and such which while possibly forged (would have been a lot of forging, but it is possible I guess) had a totally different response that went straight to attacking the victim instead. If you can't acknowledge that as a problem you're part of it.

You do realize that accusing the victim of lying, again, only proves the point, right?

And no, I'm not playing your game of rebroadcasting the attacks. So far I've already found plenty of vile tweets, youtube comments, and posts on reddit/4chan. Are you denying that Zoe's being harassed/threatened?

You really don't understand what's going on do you?

Harassment and threats against Quinn and Sarkeesian are likely a mix of being real, exaggerated, or completely faked. And threats/harassment against them are exactly what they want. The two make their living as professional victims. The bigger the "witch hunt" against them, the more bank they make. This whole ordeal has more the doubled Quinn's monthly salary for sitting around and doing nothing. She earns more per year than many teachers and she wrote the text for one incredibly lovely game two years ago. I seriously doubt her actual work on Depression Quest took more than a couple hours. She has done nothing since then except collect even more money for a pretend game jam.

I'm assuming you are friends with Zoe (or Zoe herself? :tinfoil:) and you will keep turning a blind eye towards anything and everything showing what a loving terrible person she is based solely on the terrible actions she has taken.

You're just really dumb if you can't connect this to being a problem with social justice communities in general. Everyone went to bat for a self titled rapist because she was a woman and friends with them which undermines pretty much the entire community. So many prominent people were involved in this and they still refuse to acknowledge their mistakes and that in itself is a huge issue. People like you are all too willing to acknowledge the existence of the vocal minority of MRA, who in all reality has no influence or has made much of an impact on anything, but want to completely disregard the presence of the SJW who is literally so influential there was an orchestrated campaign of censorship, lies, and doublestandards. MRAs have done poo poo all of anything, SJWs got thousands of comments deleted, articles censored, victims blamed, and still somehow are making money off of being attackedby the patriarchy.

Dude, I think Zoe's closed for the weekend. All this work on your part isn't going to get you any closer to a hand job. She is a bad person, she did bad things, and while it's yet to be 200% confirmed that she used her body for publicity, acting on that suspicion has turned up multiple instances where dudes she has allegedly slept with rewarding her game with awards and other such things. There is no shaming going on with Zoe; her cursed vajayngo has ruined some lives. Unless of course you're trying to say that the wives/girlfriends of the dudes Zoe allegedly slept with are lying, too? In which case, holy poo poo balls you're already in your own little world.

Right, criticizing the harassment of Zoe Quinn must mean there's sexual favors involved. Got it.

I do take some pride in the fact that I can call myself a Game Designer and not feel like a liar. However, I also feel like a number of the “games” I’ve made aren’t Games (or even Puzzles, which can be considered their own form as well). I’m fine with that! To me, it’s not exclusively symptomatic of an unquestionably fascistic game culture. Certainly the popular notion of what constitutes a “game” (or, worse, a “gamer”) is far too restrictive, but that doesn’t mean that an academic examination of the form is irresponsible or abhorrent.

I guess random wives and girlfriends weighing in on Twitter is just part of the lie. Man, it looks like the story isn't "Horrible person uses her body for favors," and it's actually "A network of countless people have just put together the greatest and most intricate fabrication the internet has ever seen." Despite the woman at the center of all this not even denying what she did. You got me, man. My eyes are truly open.

Should I have said neoliberal? I meant liberalism as accepting the framework of capitalism, reducing everything to identity politics, and demanding everybody stay in their proper place--affirming their right 'not to be harassed'. There's the system, and all reasonable people are to adhere to the system: the repressed concerns of the disenfranchised are 'terroristic'.

While video games started it the issue has kind of brought to light a solid example of criticisms people have against "social justice" on the internet. It has long been accused of doublestandards (I mean how many times have you read "if genders were switched", that's literally what happened here and it was straight up confirmed) and censoring people in the name of political correctness. Pretty much all the criticism that people try to write off as "oh comeon that's only some small minority blogging on tumblr, they have no influence" actually came to play in a major way. It's clear the group that wanted to play persecuted minority actually had a lot more tools, authority, and power than the people they claim were oppressing them.
