So after the last week or so of everyone on both sides tweeting like loving idiots and loads of people linked to the gaming sites tweeting like they want to get fired, the gaming sites come out with a letter asking people to play nice and report abuse?

It's like they are doing everything in their power to boost the signal of the people they've been yelling at this whole time.

now i want to see all the gamers submit harassment reports for all of the people @ replying to them that they are murder rapists

This is pretty entertaining. Maya Kramer, Zoe's PR person (one of the five guys who happens to be a woman) slept with the head of the Indie Games Fest and whaddya know, all of the winners and finalists either employ Maya for PR or straight up work at the same PR company she does.

What I got from this is the Indie Game scene are extremely creepy and culty.

Okay can someone fill me in here.

1) Zoe Quinn slept with gaming "journalists"
2) Any discussion about it got deleted
3) ____________________
4) Gaming is inherently misogynistic and all gamers should die, RIP gamers

Zoe Quinn says she's a feminist. Feminists support women.

Lots of gamers disagreed with Zoe. They must hate america women.

They're going to come out with some huge essay on gamers+ and how being mean is bad and we should all respect each other and then nice things will happen and then maybe just MAYBE we can enact true change in this ever shifting and volatile games industry

iirc it first started as a small rumor, but then several "journalists" started saying poo poo like "we reject gamers for a substitute title" and a few other journalists outright put Gamer+ in their descriptions.

Except they've proven over and over that they're all too willing to make exceptions to that stance, whenever they feel like it.

Tolerance is basically a game of Calvinball to these people.

Sadly not.

So, an open letter. Truly the most empty and effort-free of gestures. Not to mention that the core message is "report bad stuff", which relies on the reporting process actually doing anything worthwhile (lol Facebook hate speech policy) and people not just using burner accounts to carry on doing the same old poo poo.

Having one correct opinion doesn't justify the overall behavior exhibited by these jokes of journalists. They're censors, bullies, liars and have zero integrity. Wanting more trans people in video games or trying to obfuscate their shittyness with politically correct BS doesn't change that they should be held account able for all the rest of their actions.
