What issues are those?Still doesn't address any of the issues I keep bringing up every time somebody complains about "Why you care who she fucks anyway? Games journalism was already garbage."
What issues are those?
I disagree, it'd still have been news if it was a man using personal relationships to try to stepladder his career, torpedoing other projects for causes he purports to champion, abusing DMCA takedowns, and manufacturing fake internet "attacks" on himself to drum up sympathy/support/publicity, all while having no actual talent or skill in the area in which he's claiming to have a career.
Don't forget a reddit post.You mean all the allegations that haven't been substantiated by anyone other than a bitter ex?
Oh no not theoh no I fell into jay's trap. too bad being called a penis isn't an inherent insult because, oh yeah, the patriarchy.
Putting aside the "bitter ex" provided proof, there's also the person she doxxed, who was in charge of the women in gaming project she torpedoed, the video that did get taken down by a copyright claim from her, and the fake attack stuff is pretty well self-evident for the most part and corroborated where it isn't.You mean all the allegations that haven't been substantiated by anyone other than a bitter ex?
Or, conversely, forget about 23,000 of them.Don't forget a reddit post.
Oh cool, 4chan is on the job.

Awesome, thanks guys.
Good to know honky.oh no I fell into jay's trap. too bad being called a penis isn't an inherent insult because, oh yeah, the patriarchy.
I'm not offended by that since it hasn't been used as a term of oppression or pretty much ever shouted while a mob hung a white man from a tree or lashed him while owning him as property. But it's good to know that you just really wish you could say "negro".Good to know honky.
I'm not sure how you're getting that out of honky, after all it's not equivalent to negro, since there's no hundred year history of it has a term of oppression.I'm not offended by that since it hasn't been used as a term of oppression or pretty much ever shouted while a mob hung a white man from a tree or lashed him while owning him as property. But it's good to know that you just really wish you could say "negro".
In the United States. Go tell white folks in Zimbabwe.I'm not offended by that since it hasn't been used as a term of oppression or pretty much ever shouted while a mob hung a white man from a tree or lashed him while owning him as property.

Seriously Charlie, this is an international board. I have family members (ok, in-laws) whose properties were seized, who were deported and tortured for being white. Stop being ethnocentric and only championing what you perceive to be the poor weak sorry lot in need of protection. Either it's all wrong and evil, and you should judge honky and penis just as much as negro and vagina, or you're just championing because you think these groups can't defend themselves, and you feel the need to hide your own insecurities by Championing their Cause. Yes, women and colored people still have a way to go until we can say they're being treated fairly in the USA. Yes, we need to watch out for discrimination and we need to enable them to defend themselves and change some aspects of society. No, you don't get to choose which discrimination or race-based insult is better or worse (except in circumstances).
hooooooooooooooooly shit this postIn the United States. Go tell white folks in Zimbabwe.

I agree, any group that is predominantly white men is gonna usually be awful.So aside from outing Phil Fish as a cock-goblin (which we already knew), this basically resulted in getting out the torches and pitchforks against someone whose only mark of notoriety is whats between her legs on baseless accusations.
gg gamers, we knew you had it in you to lower the bar once more.
This again? Ok, here we go, one more time.So aside from outing Phil Fish as a cock-goblin (which we already knew), this basically resulted in getting out the torches and pitchforks against someone whose only mark of notoriety is whats between her legs on baseless accusations.

You guys keep using this "baseless word."Putting aside the "bitter ex" provided proof, there's also the person she doxxed, who was in charge of the women in gaming project she torpedoed, the video that did get taken down by a copyright claim from her, and the fake attack stuff is pretty well self-evident for the most part and corroborated where it isn't.
I know there's a difference between a relatively small group in a small area being subjected to torture/discrimination/etc and black American history (and Arabian and Mediterranean for completeness sake - the majority of slavers weren't white, historically speaking)hooooooooooooooooly shit this post
Find/replace "white" with "black" and you'd be protesting and calling the poster racist. Replace "white men" with "women" and you"d call it sexist and stereotypical. Yes, white men are still in power in large parts of the world. Yes, this means we sometimes have to be more careful. No, this doesn't mean it's "ok" to be racist towards us. As long as you can't get that through your skull, you're not fighting for equality, but for oppression in the other direction, and you're as much a part of the problem as those you're fighting.I agree, any group that is predominantly white men is gonna usually be awful.
Hey now, some D&D groups I've been to are full of incredibly nice people.I agree, any group that is predominantly white men is gonna usually be awful.

You keep quoting this, but the only thing I've seen reference this is the video which just shows a reddit post. There's nothing else.there's also the person she doxxed, who was in charge of the women in gaming project she torpedoed
One of the other Polytron guys disagrees.I highly suspect they got hacked. They are both hucksters.
On August 19th, The Fine Young Capitalists released a soundcloud recording as their explanation as what to what was going on and why they were doxxed.You keep quoting this, but the only thing I've seen reference this is the video which just shows a reddit post. There's nothing else.

its so great that after 6000 recorded years of everyone being a shithead you still have the faith in humanity to see this as the behaviour of a specific subset of people. never lose that.I agree, any group that is predominantly white men is gonna usually be awful.
Guys, don't let Charlie know that pirates used to raid British villages to take whites prisoner and sell them as slaves to North Africans..I'm not offended by that since it hasn't been used as a term of oppression or pretty much ever shouted while a mob hung a white man from a tree or lashed him while owning him as property. But it's good to know that you just really wish you could say "negro".
Going for drinks with another guy in the video game media eh?Adam Sessler was apparently in a bar with Zoe Quinn watching people attempt to gain access to her stuff over and over again.

Because the parties involved were supposed to be the "we're not those corrupt guys" guys. It'd be like catching the NAACP doing human trafficking.anyway, why the FUCK is this a thing? there are bigger problems to deal with in the gaming journalism scene than an amateur game developer sleeping around. as far as i know, all the big institutions are still basically taking handouts to review major titles on a 8-10/10 scoring system. that involves a shit ton more money, is a larger breach of ethics, and is far more detrimental to gaming as a hobby... and yet this zoe quinn thing is somehow the biggest shitstorm on the internet? wtf?
The proof she slept around was mostly on the Ex's blogpost, yes, but was corroborated by tweets from the wives/gfs of the "five guys." That she has benefited is simply a matter of observation - her "game" failed approval for Steam Greenlight until she manufactured an attack on herself, ginning up community "support" to push Depression Quest through, she's parlayed her limelight and "credibility" as a "game developer" to network more in the industry and increase her visibility in a great big cyclone of "I'm a victim, support me" leveraged to torpedo competition/critics and translated almost directly into pateron dollars. Right now she's pulling down $2300/mo, before taxes. Not exactly the high-roller bracket, but more than Depression Quest certainly merits.and where exactly is the proof that she slept around? or that she benefited from this alleged act? isnt the whole thing based on one obviously biased dude's blog post?
Sessler isn't games media.Going for drinks with another guy in the video game media eh?
Not anymore anyway. He apparently has a consulting company for game developers, but that really doesn't say anything about he DOES. Regardless, he's still pretty buddy buddy with folks in the industry.Sessler isn't games media.
