When it's not abusive and hellish.Sounds lonely and frustrating.
She's married now, so someone took the bait.Sounds lonely and frustrating.

Is that video from earlier than August 19th? I don't doubt she's getting legit harrased now.Zoe Quinn fields her made up harassment on Youtube.
I can tell you that from experience. I think it's getting better, though. I'm still tired of hearing racial, homophobic and sexist slurs on multiplayer games of all types, but they're more of a minority now than a majority, I think.See this? This shit right here? This is why people think so poorly of gamers. This gives credence to every accusation of gamers being a bunch of hateful fucks who are threatened by the inclusion of anyone who's different from them.
She posted 7 seconds of her twitter feed. It was dozens of messages filled with vile, misogynistic shit.It boggles my mind that writers who engage in social media are SURPRISED SHOCKED AMAZED when a tide of vultures and ne'erdowells descend on them for writing something potentially 'unpopular'. Welcome to Writing 101! You think that newsrooms across the country don't get all sorts of hate mail for the things they report on? That's (unfortunately) part of the job, and is not a reflection of your gender, but simply your position as a public target. The number of these 'young people' getting up and quitting because they receive some flames their way is laughable. Damned millenials!
Yes, but misogyny isn't some kind of "Supreme Ultimate Power" and the reactions to it are fueing its use more.She posted 7 seconds of her twitter feed. It was dozens of messages filled with vile, misogynistic shit.
But it's all about the ethics right #gamergaters?
And? I've questioned the integrity of articles posted by Time magazine before. Just because something is a "real" news outlet doesn't mean it doesn't have an agenda.IT WAS CLEARED BY THE FUCKING GUARDIAN.
Yeah, Clarissa, explain it all. After it comes to light, of course.
Yeah, that's right! Take that controversial standpoint! Look at me, I'm Jenn Frank, ready to take on all comers with my cutting edge opinions and unpopular stances! Except if a bunch of guys are mean to me on twitter, then I'm going to morph from strong, independent, opinionated woman to textbook damsel.About Jenn Frank:
Jenn thinks the Atari 2600, Game Boy Micro, and Apple iPhone are all viable game consoles. Email her at jenn at infinite lives dot net.
But you guys are right. One of the best freelancers out there should be harassed until they give up and quit. Fucking disgusting.
That's a really broad brush you're painting with there, Captain Coronary.She posted 7 seconds of her twitter feed. It was dozens of messages filled with vile, misogynistic shit.

I've got an obvious position, and I post in support of it. Last I checked that wasn't hypocrisy. Ain't nobody supporting my patreon.Of course, you have no axe to grind, so you're perfectly unbiased, right Gas?
Slaves would be tyrants, had they but the chance.Things were supposed to be different this time. We were the victims and we endured and now we are in charge.
You need one of a few things to make it in gaming:I remember about, Jesus, almost a decade ago now, I was at E3 '05. I got to meet some guys on the Blizzard cinematics team, and some guys from BioWare who had worked on some new cloth effect tech on Jade Empire. When my friends and I asked about getting into the industry, they all said the same thing was a big blip on the radar.
Potential. Not outright talent, not who I knew, and not what I showed them, but the potential for growth they'd glean from a portfolio and interview.
It seems to me, now, that none of that is true, and it makes me incredibly sad for an industry I wanted so badly to be a part of one day.
No one wants to play The Stomping Lands, Gas.Slaves would be tyrants, had they but the chance.
Well, I'm sure glad that an IRC log of anonymous has proven once and for all that video game journalism is a bastion of integrity and diligence.more #gamergate

Zoe Quinn logged their plotting for the whole "movement" in an IRC channel, and has turned it over to the FBI
why[DOUBLEPOST=1410022983,1410022926][/DOUBLEPOST]Maybe stop having sexual relations with gaming journalists as well, whether they covered your game or not.

All you've managed to show is that a vocal minority of gamers are being whiny little shits. There are a lot more gamers out there who want nothing to do with that type of asshattery, and who also don't want anything to do with Zoe Quinn's asshattery either.i don't give a fuck about videogames, i'm just trying to show that the shitty gamer side is all about M I S O G Y N Y
