Also thanks for admitting that you're excusing harassment over unconfirmed rumors and the one-sided story of an ugly breakup.

Apparently the admin Black Kite, since he won't even allow mentions of what Zoe did to appear on the loving Talk page.

You know, the page used to discuss whether or not something should be included in an article. No one can discuss that since he keeps nuking the discussions and reverting any changes to the article he doesn't like.

Since when was games journalism any good, anyway.

Before it was this it was basically some version of the doritos and dew scandal. Before that it was about pushing you to buy expensive accessories that didn't work, and poo poo games in expensive cartridges.

I haven't paid attention to gaming articles since like...IGN and Gamespot were rivals.

But the guy who made the Quinnspiracy "Five Guys" videos on youtube mentioned that he looked up to a game journalist from Forbes.

Forbes isn't good for anything, so at that moment I knew something was very wrong.

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.

Watch a poor bastard try to plead his case as to why Zoe Quinn's Wikipedia article should include information about collusion, and watch him get shut down by multiple Wikipedia admins:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Zoe_Quinn#List_of_Relevant_Material

Example:

quote:

Given that the entire reason the incident became noteworthy rather than yet another stupid fight between SJWs and gamers was because of who she slept with, it is very hard to omit that information. At the very least Grayson should be mentioned, as his involvement was a major flashpoint and drew an official response from Kotaku. Incidentally, the initial reports of her harassment re: Depression Quest are somewhat problematic in that they are not independent of the source; all the claims came from Quinn herself, which is generally a problem as far as reliable sources go - we try to avoid such, and it was noted by several folks that there was no independent confirmation of said harassment. Titanium Dragon (talk) 01:47, 2 September 2014 (UTC)

quote:

Ah yes, the "she's probably just making it all up" defense, which is only a shade below "she was asking for it". Seriously, educate yourself . Tarc (talk) 02:09, 2 September 2014 (UTC)

Yes, a Wikipedia admin compared a guy pointing out that Zoe's claims of harassment were unsubstantiated with shaming a rape victim.

And to add to your question what should we expect from them. Pretty sure I pissed off Gerstmann last week on his stream asking similar questions (why do we have games press?) about stories they seemingly had no interest in pursuing. Giant bomb may consider itself more "entertainment tonight" than "6 o clock news" but they do run actual news stories from time to time. As a reader/listener it becomes frustrating because it creates a situation where I can't tell if I should expect them to investigate a story or not. When called on it they say, well that's not us, we're enthusiast press, not reporters or journalists, which would be fine but that isn't always the case.

Challenge anyone with a bullshit job and they will get defensive, because they know they're ultimately useless and expendable.

It's telling that AN ENTIRE loving INDUSTRY has become collectively defensive in the past few weeks.

Also quite hilarious.

Get real jobs you fucks.

That's delicious irony, really. Kind of like how anti-gay church dudes turning out to be huge homos who do poo poo like suck off other dudes in bathrooms and poo poo.

I'm assuming Zoe was raped by her father or something, hence why she ran away as a teenager to bang thousands of men.

Her brain is broke - she needs physical intimacy but detests men because of her childhood.

So the women with daddy issues are now: Hookers, Strippers, Game Journalists
