• a girl made a game about depression
  
• girl might have had sex with Video Game Journalists who gave her good reviews for her game? maybe?
  
• this is a mighty blow to the integrity of the Gaming Community and people on reddit got angry
  
• someone bothered TotalBiscuit and he made a big post about it on twitter
  
• also, people are googling girl's address, which is uncool.
  
• Girl Gamer talks to a reddit mod and they are hand-deleting thousands of posts in that totalbiscuit thread instead of deleting the whole thing I guess
  
• its really not that important
  
• I'm gay. I'm gay as hell

richard please send your daughter as far away from video games as possible, like there must still be convents somewhere maybe? Do the amish take donations of kids? just get her out.


I feel bad for her because her bf is a lying scumbag who slept with a crazy woman who also is a scumbag but you know that only one half of the two people who hosed her life in the butt are gonna get punished for it. prolly best not to come out in public and say you support internet people harassing someone irl when you're a games lady since she's basically one post about not loving assassins creed away from having the same poo poo done to her.

Well that's the thing. I don't think anybody's saying "But I thought the game's industry was reliable!?" or "drat, so much for Kotaku's journalistic integrity!" poo poo has been terrible for a long-rear end time, and this is just one of those things that jumps out and you can go "LOOK! LOOK AT THIS! THIS IS ONE OF THOSE THINGS WE'RE TALKING ABOUT!" and hope against all hope that it might result in some kind of change.

I wish these guys would stop bitching about how terrible of person she is and focus on repairing the damage by compensating that charity game jam that got shut down for no reason. That was pretty terrible.

So is she actually a goon because she writes like one http://www.patreon.com/zoe

Shithouse Dave posted:

She was definitely a goon four years ago. She ragequit irc after a really stupid argument about Julian Assange. She didn't burn her account but after someone sent nudes to Two Worlds she probably reregged. Ex-husband was also a goon.

Do they have hard hitting Games journalists in Japan, the homeland of gaming? Because all I know is Famitsu and everyone just accepts that their reviews are just payed off marketing hype.

Hey all, I work in the games industry as a game developer and I also get state funding to do research on videogames in the serious academic field of "game studies" along with hundreds of scholars and everybody I know uses words like "ludonarrative literacy" and "problematic" and is super cool and smart. We write books about racism, sexism, capitalism and videogames that real publishers pay us for. Mattie Brice speaks at our conferences because she and other rad people like her and Zoe Quinn have done amazing work in changing the industry for the better in the last few years and thanks to them I've seen first-hand more and more female and minority students starting to get into games which is awesome. Most of my friends in the industry who make the games that matter so much to dumb kids on reddit do it as a day job to pay their bills and honestly think that the games they make are pretty stupid and lovely distractions for pathetic manchildren.

Hope this helps you bunch of babies out

You know, after taking the time to read through this stuff, I am honestly more worried about the white knight brigade and their surprising power.

In any sane universe, she should be a nobody. She has been attached to few indie projects, she's done some game jams, and she's made one very poorly received indie game. That's it. There's nothing note worthy about her at all except that for some reason, the misogynist conspiracy is out to destroy her. Now Zoe Quinn may not be an complete evil witch bent on sleeping her way to the top, but it's clear she's milking the whole "misogynist conspiracy is out to get me angle" for everything it's worth.

As far as I can tell, the "misogynist conspiracy" on the internet consists of 4chan whom trolls everyone and everything, Wizardchan whom are quite possibly the most pathetic people in existence and have no power, and some pick up artist communities whom don't even give a poo poo about gaming. These are forces that no rational person should be afraid of, and they have proven to be about as effective as a bunch of cats plotting world domination.

However, the legions of white knights have proven to be really effective. Because Zoe here was willing to scream "misogynist conspiracy", she got them to censor Reditt and take down a bunch of YouTube videos. And in the past, thanks to team white knight, she's gotten her lovely game green lit and a bunch of free press because the 30 year old virgins of Wizard Chan were trying to destroy her.

Like holy gently caress, I can understand coming to her defense and even trolling people attacking her. But seriously, are they actually going to go as far as attempting to censor the internet because their feminist damsel is in distress and is about to be eaten by the big bad misogynist wolf? Have they really dropped to this low? Do they not see how completely misogynist and sexist it is

Ever since GBS was detumblrized there have been many displaced tumbleweed-like posters that flit about asking "oh you are still talking about _this_" in the _this_ thread.

They need a new subforum where they can gather.

Froghammer posted:

Serious question: does anyone actually give a poo poo about the ethics of video games journalism? Because mainstream games journalism being in bed with the industry (hur hur) has been public knowledge for at least a decade.

Best Friends posted:

Yeah me too


I still don't even know what is going on except it involves caring a lot about someone cheating and the sacred duties of a video game blogger and every time I say this something hilarious happens like an earnest rage comic
