View submission: Quinnspiracy Theory: In-N-Out Edition
I mean, isn't that exactly what the gaming community is doing though? Taking the word of a jilted ex-lover as gospel, and then using it to persecute a person the community was predisposed to not liking? Because in the end all of the accusations about unethical conduct were proven completely false; Zoe only allegedly slept with one reporter, and only after he'd written about her game already. So the vitriol coming out isn't fact based, it's purely emotive. And to me, it indicates a deeply misogynistic tilt in the community.
Edit: And to the extent that Zoe Quinn is just a bad person: so? Bad, hypocritical people exist. The gaming press isn't obligated to cover them, much less how one's personal life might put the lie to their professional life. If they did we'd have 30,000 articles a day about how Hideo Kojima says he likes to share but always takes the last slice of pizza.
Moreover, Zoe Quinn being a shit person says absolutely nothing about feminists or other social justice types. Again, shit people exist. That has nothing to do with the causes they support.

Did even you watch the video? Literally everything you just said was brought up in it.

And she slept with a judge in the game competition that she later won an award in.
