Ahh, so your one of those people who think the Zoe Quinn stuff detracts from the real issue of nepotism and corruption. Out of all the things to complain about, you chose that parody video :allears:

Only because I thought someone seriously posted it on her twitter with no context. If they didn't do that then I really don't have a problem. It's funny because it's a lampoon of all those crazy diagrams that were going around earlier but I could see how someone getting that as correspondence with no explanation could be disturbed.

It wasn't a fake tweet, and it was extremely funny and well worth it. As for how it should have been handled, it's too easy to judge the past from the future.

Please point to any evidence that TFYC is a charity. It doesn't mention being registered as a non-profit anywhere. The money is going to make a commercial game; it have capitalist in the name for god sakes. And no, donating to charity isn't the same thing as a charity. Besides, colon cancer isn't exactly a feminist charity either. It's about as much of a feminist charity, as Doritos is 'all about the gamers'.
Doesn't absolve Zoe from being a jerk though.

they buy all their games at full retail price plus a bunch of administrative overhead so if you feel like donating to childs play just buy a videogame and donate it yourself, it's a much better use of your money. There's also the fact that it was created and still exists largely to shield penny arcade's creators from criticism. Kind of like how 4chan is using TFYC to "prove" they're the real feminists or whatever.

30 seconds worth of Google and Wikipedia said:
With the help of hospital staff, Child's Play sets up gift wishlists on Amazon.com, full of video games, books, toys, and movies. These wishlists send items directly to the facilities as in-kind donations. Instead of buying items off the wishlists users can donate money through PayPal or check. This money is used to make annual wholesale purchases to provide technology like iPads and Xbox 360 systems as well as games and movies.

Also,

Dickwolves comic published - 2010

Child's Play wasn't founded to shield them from SJWs over dickwolves, it was created to shield them from (of all things) jack thompson, because the penny arcade guys are loving idiots.

What's funny is that it's actually true. I'll eat my words when the other side promote feminist charities or efforts that are not "donate to Mattie Brice's/Zoe Quinn's patreon"

Uhhhh...So two guys who weren't direct targets of Jack Thompson...started a charity to defend themselves from Jack Thompson? Or they started it to show that gamers were caring and charitable people like anyone else, in the face of someone calling their entire subculture violent and psychotic. How old were you in 2003, rainy day? I'm gonna guess it starts with a 1.

Eh, I worded it poorly and 'the other side' does sound dumb, but it really does bother me that for all their talk about how this is all a misogynistic attack, they have made no effort to promote a game jam that aims to help women get into the game industry, and instead completely 100% unironically suggest donating to patreons instead.

If by getting women in game development, you mean contracting a 5-year old VFX studio from Columbia, where the average wage is half that of the global wage; then sure. A company whose work (afaik) exclusively consists of VFX, Art asset creation and digital art installations doesn't seem like a great choice for developing a game.

Our client list is already filled with clients like Habro, Toyota, BMW, T-Mobile, MG Morris Garages, Hewlett Packard, HTC, Unilever, FOX, Nickelodeon, TVO Kids Canada, Proexport, Idartes, Fedebiocombustibles, Rtvc, EPM among others.
And you wonder why I'm sceptical about this fundraiser actually meeting its goals, let alone producing a satisfying game. From the way the pitch was written, very little was mentioned in the way of programming experience. Basically Yogventures level of inexperience.
