Hey guys this dude accused this woman of using sex to get her tiny game some attention let's find her house and call her in the middle of the night while jacking off this is a reasonable response and shows our moral integrity.

That isn't even what he accused her of, he accused her of being an emotionally abusive piece of poo poo who hosed her boss and journalists, it's literally everyone else who decided to get up in arms about nepotism instead of the whole "she made me doubt my own sanity" thing, which is probably the most infuriating part of all this poo poo.

Any time your partner talks a big game about how, if you cheat on your partner and then gently caress them that's Sex Without Consent because it's happening under false pretenses, and then fucks five other people and you at the same time and then tries to defend themselves despite having such a Strong Stance against it to the point of not letting you talk to friends of the opposite sex? Probably dating a piece of poo poo.

You do not know gamers. People are getting mad at her cause she is a woman, didn't make a "real game" and now because she threaten ~journalistic integrity~

Bear in mind, the dude she hosed wrote 5 (five (!)) lines about her game apparently.

The focus wasn't even on the cheating, it was on the manipulating and the lying and the emotional abuse.

True though she had already garnered a lot of bad press with her game and since she was one of them female sjw that are menacing the industry :rolleyes:

Yeah the most frustrating part of this whole thing is that people being shitheads has over taken the story so it's all about a) cheating and b) GAMES NEPOTISM and C) people being shitheads (or not, since I guess she faked a bunch of poo poo) instead of about how someone who theoretically is a voice for ladies and people with Issues and whatever is actually a giant piece of poo poo.

What is the legitimate reason? It really makes no difference to us if Zoe took fifty dicks without telling her cuck.

The part where she was emotionally abusive and manipulative and made a dude doubt his own sanity. Like, that's what his post is actually about, if you read it. The cheating is just what made him realize what-all was going on because it was the first thing he caught her in uncontrovertibly.

There's 40 pages of this poo poo, so I need a little clarification.

Zoe made a game, and slept with some journalists, so they'd give her favourable reviews. Though no such good reviews have been written.
People are up in arms and attacking her because...
-She's internet famous, and nothing gamers like more than making GBS threads on internet famous women?
-She has a terrible taste in guys, and gamers are mad they didn't make the cut?
-She's an attention whore, and this is the attention she got?

I'm not reading 40 pages to sort this all out. Thanks!

Wow nobody's posted the latest in the saga


Phil Fish got hacked hard, closed all twitter accounts and is selling Polycom. Taken from a thread in reddit because I doubt Lowtax wants the drama brought to his doorstep:


Everything about Phil Fish and Polytron has been exposed and is publicly available to people who has a wish to hurt him. This isn't just about writing angry comments on the internet, or sending hate on Twitter/Email, or even shouting nasty stuff to him at the streets. This is people wishing to tear his whole personal life down, and not just as a threat.


From the same document. Phil Fish might not be the last target, just something to consider before you think this isn't a big deal.

Edit: *Not important, and obviously not real.

We already knew this and Phil Fish is a poo poo gently caress him.

anthony weiner kinda doesn't count tho cause he never talked about family/morality poo poo ever, but gently caress him anyway cause he stood there weeping like a gigantic pussy swearing he loves his wife and will never do it again but somehow a year later the fucker gets caught draggin his pisscrank across twitter to sorority girls again lol

That one ended up being really sad because up until then he was "the one who calls congress a bunch of loving babyhead idiots and trolls the poo poo out of them by bringing a literal children's book to make a point" and now he's the one who showed his dong.

In between stealing video game footage from other videos and Let's Plays (which you'd think would be not necessary given she made tons of money off the initial kickstarter campaign) there's also things like the footage in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gqJCCnued6c

No, this isn't some "true gamer" bullshit that you get from reddit, either, I just think it more than a bit suspicious that a woman makes a poo poo load of money to put forward a feminist critique off video games, releases her videos at an absolute snail's pace and makes no greater critiques besides "Boy, Damsels in Distress are kind of lame, why can't the damsels do stuff instead?" which is like...I dunno...just struck me as a little weak? Especially since she uses Peach and Zelda as examples--Peach, who has been playable in Mario games numerous times and Zelda, who is among the most powerful and important beings IN the Zelda universe, and...

Like, a lack of agency does not diminish nor weaken a woman's importance in the plot by default. Look at Skyler White in Breaking Bad--and ignoring the actress decrying those who disliked her as misogynists, at least for the moment. She has very little agency throughout the story, and by season 5 she is essentially a hostage to the plot that by and large requires her in no meaningful way, but her importance to the show is not lessened because her lack of agency presents a great deal of the emotional angst of the surrounding characters' descent into evil. As she slowly loses her moral high ground and enters into illegal dealings like Walt does--with even LESS actual success--her lack of agency is not a prop to objectify her with poor writing, but an actual literal and metaphorical binding that shackles her to the ongoing train wreck that her life has become.

Also she apparently told EA to make Mirror's Edge easier because women are stupid and can't play video games like us penis havers.

Well, besides all that, Anita Sarkeesian inspired this nonsense and for that I can never forgive her.

I'm not reading most of this but she's been pretty upfront about how it's literally supposed to be Feminism 101 because most people who shovel games down their gaping maws don't even think that hard about what they're playing, as evidenced by the outrage that she dare criticize games even that much.
