The fact that ZQ is allowed back on twitter after she contributed to the death of another person through her tweets, merely shows how messed up twitter's moderation policies are.
After Eron Gjoni, Nathan Grayson, Alec Holowka and the numerous other ex-boyfriends she has burned through and thrown away when they fulfilled their use, it should be pretty apparent that ZQ is a hopelessly narcissistic and abusive person who uses other people as mere commodities. Where ZQ goes, drama follows. Doesn't matter who she's engaged with, as long as she is projecting her own abusive behavior on others, everything she touches will sooner or later end up in human tragedy.
What ZQ is doing is capitalizing on her broken relationships after her ex-lovers have spent their use and it's a sad fact that twitter and the general gaming press keep supporting this behavior even after witnessing the tragic end of Alec Holowka. How many more victims does she need to claim before people realize that ZQ is not a good person?
This has nothing to do with #metoo, Gamergate or the alt-right as you don't need to be ideologically affiliated to criticize her irresponsible behavior. I don't know enough about Alec Holowka and his struggle with depression to dole out blame, and ZQ's one-sided account is certainly not enough to sway me either side. Judging by her accounts, it seemed like another failed relationship between two people who were not supposed to be together. Nevertheless, over the years I've become familiar with ZQ's pattern of abusive and self-centered behavior as she is compensating the lack of her creative output with internet-drama.
ZQ never feared Gamergate, in fact, she desperately needed to keep it going in order to promote herself. It is no wonder that, as soon as that well was starting to dry up, she decided to whip up more drama in order to cash in on gaming's #metoo moment. Indeed, her accusations were not about Alec Holowka, it was merely a useful tool to further promote her persona. You'd think that somebody who claims to be an expert on depression because they made a lazy html game about it would know better than to dredge up a long since forgotten and forgiven internet sob-story. ZQ knew full well that her accusations would not bring about anything good or useful, but decided to ruin another person's life because she saw an opportunity to promote herself.
Alec Holowka cancelled himself in the most extreme way possible. In the end, this is what cancel culture is all about, isn't it?
Now that they've got what they wanted, they don't want anything to do with it. Yes Zoe Quinn, his blood is on your hands, I hope it was worth the 5 minutes of e-fame you managed to suck out of it. I hope his death was worth the interpersonal drama you conjured up by throwing yourself into yet another opportunistic relationship that was doomed from the start because you saw in Alec a comfortable mean to escape from your other failed relationship. You knew Alec, you knew about his mental problems, you already had forgiven him, but decided to ruin another person's path of redemption merely because you saw another opportunity to make yourself yet again the center of attention. Alec's state of mind was never your concern, merely the amount of cash you sought to gain from destroying his life.
How many more victims does your narcissistic opportunism need to claim, before you realize that the abuse you receive might be the result of the abuse you dish out? You treat people as commodities and then whine on twitter about your failed relationships once the people who fell in love with you have served their use. I can't verify your accusations and now that Alec is dead, it doesn't matter anyway, but I do know that it takes two to tango and this isn't your first dance.
In the end, what good came out of all this? Nothing much, except maybe the the fact that more people started to realize what a horrible person ZQ really is, now that the fog of war has cleared and the spectre of GG has long since faded away. The same goes for Resetera who blindly accepted your one-sided account in order to "cancel" yet another person's life and who are now sticking their head into the sand like the cowards they are.
The emperor has no clothes and if anything good can come out of Alec's tragic death, I hope it is that people finally see what a person ZQ really is. No, I don't need to be a Gamergater or alt-right to recognize a shitty person when I see one and no amount of desperate labeling in order to shift blame is gonna change that. I don't care how many sob stories she can fabricate or how many pronouns she hides behind, ZQ is and remains a horrible person.
Zoe Quinn, you're not a victim, you're a perpetrator.
