I do not like her way of phrasing herself, her game, or the way she acted in her personal life. But this is GAF, and we try and avoid typing like this IMO.
Yeah, because it is indeed the most appealing title anyone should try to achieve, isn't it? The achievement of a life time.
"She did X, Y, and Z."
"Okay, where's your evidence?"
"There's no evidence, which is proof that the evidence was censored."
This is a fantastic line of reasoning and only good things can result from continuing it.

Do some of the people here defending Gamergate realise they're reaching hilarity that's rivalling;
a) Illuminati
b) Reptilian overlords
c) 911 Conspiracies
d) Moon landing was faked
When all this is about is about a female game developer who is allegedly sleeping around with game journalists to give good reviews of her free game?
Really guys, really?

So you're saying she's lying about the whole thing, or what?
OF HER FREE GAME
this alone should have shown literally everyone that this is the dumbest shit

In terms of say, hateful messages and harassment being directed at one individual? I would believe it. At its fever pitch I doubt any one individual was getting more harassment or focused hate.
Diffuse hate yeah that's another matter
Don't forget crab ppl

I do not like Zoe Quinn.
I also do not like either side of that embarrassing #GamerGate bullshit
In short, I hate everyone.

What miscommunication from her end! Honestly curious. People keep aluding to stuff like this

Does that mean people don't hate Phil Fish the most now?
I expect he will be celebrating then. My sympathy goes out to Zoe, as the entire situation was world class horse shit, that has nothing to do with anyone but herself and her ex.

Good discussion. Enjoyed it. Learned a lot. Thanks.

There's also the other side of the coin, if anyone is interested:
Edit: Never mind.
I thoought the same thing, actually.

You lost.
Sexists were able to misappropriate their bashing of Zoe Quinn into some kind of grand stand against "corrupt games journalists", ignoring every other case of non-sexual events that show a lack of good journalism from the games media, and using this to play a game of six degrees of separation to further demonize anyone with vague links to anything Zoe Quinn was associated with, including people like Anita Sarkeesian.

misanthropy is where its at!
Not the whole thing no. But she does seem to be enjoying the attention.

If you have no proof that what you say is true in the face of the proof of the disproportionate reaction to whatever Zoe's said or done, then it's just a conspiracy theory.
Hey look everyone they're using White Knight as a serious descriptor and insult, lets all laugh at them.
:lol
Not just her, I'm referring to both ends of the GamerGate thing.
The closest I would give to Zoe in regards to miscommunication is her questionable tweets but that's borderline victim blaming.

I think we should have threads like this more regularly. Namely so we can filter out the shitlords and have them appropriately banned/tagged.

you haven't heard of phil fish? or a certain MS employee who inadvertently invented the meme #dealwithit? Anita Sarkesian?
for a free browser game
that doesn't even have any ads on the page
like, what do you think the endgame is here
Yes, every indie dev is just waiting for the day his life becomes a living hell. Who doesn't love to get a million death threats a day, so you can sell more copies of your freeware game? Absolutely worth it.
whats wrong with you?!
Zoe Quin is a victim, and while yeah "most hated on the internet" is pretty hyperbolic, she is a victim.
dismissing death threats as "oh thats just the internet" is the wrong way to go about this, threats should be dealt with no matter where or why they occurred.
the things that happened to Zoe are abhorrent. and while yeah the games media can be a bit shitty, this was totally the wrong thing to blow it all up about. its just bought out the worst in all those involved :/

Oh so you've spoken with her and seen her flash a shit-eating grin when this whole debacle is mentioned? Or is this something you're just speculating?

I've read this. It isn't a side its a barely coherent conspiracy piece with about as much basis in reality as that video floating around about the way inventor and his dog flying to the moon to restock on cheese
I think it kind of says it all that hateful shit like a voice for men is being presented as the "other side", honestly.
Do you intend to get banned so quickly you can't give yours?

Wasn't there already a couple of dedicated threads for this? I don't want to thread-whine, it's just that the OP does not provide the full context, and there are already plenty of posts above where people seem to miss some important details of the story (a nice bold warning from mods in the beginning was also an important feature of previous thread which helped).
You just wait. In 2-4 years Microsoft will be giving Zoe 3 billion dollars for Depression Quest. 3. billion. dollars.
Thank god I finally have somewhere on the Internet that represents my interests and feelings in a practical and honest way.
the attention of having herself and her friends and family harassed on the internet and by phone?
are you high right now?
It's Reyn Time!

Saying that a bunch of gamers are repressed, woman-hating basement dwellers is not the same thing as saying all gamers are those things.
AVFM? Jesus, let's just get some links to what r/TheRedPill thinks about this whole thing while we're at it.

We're all being played for fools! We're gonna look silly when the QuinnStation launches. All according to keikaku!
Or, hell, even the real issues behind #gamergate?
I mean, answer his question first, he asked first after all.
But after that lets sit down and discuss cause that hashtag is a hell of a mess of dogwhistled sexism.

I'm new to this whole fiasco so I'm still trying to find the middle ground. Do you have any source that you would consider non-biased and actually focused on the real problem?
I am completely against trolls venting personal information about any individual on the internet though, regardless if there's some truth about some of the allegations against her.
I'm not even sure what GamerGate is supposed to be about anymore. Some use the hashtag to defend gamers, some use it to voice their problems with game journalism, some use it to say stuff about specific people in the game industry, and some use it to make fun of the hashtag. It's just a confusing mess.
She's been playing us all like a fiddle. Also, she is Kojima. #Teamreal
