TotalBiscuit is being attacked for his comment on the quinnspiracy affair (link above), without any precision as to why it was wrong for him to make one or as to what part of it was wrong.

Please give it a read and show some support. TotalBiscuit is one of the best journalists out there and deserves support for making sense in the "quinnspiracy" shitstorm

updating with the related reddit thread :

http://www.reddit.com/r/pcgaming/comments/2e3e0s/totalbiscuit_under_fire_for_critique_of/

his position basically summarized :

"[...] Honestly that whole debate [being accused of exploiting the nepotism that tends to plague this industry by getting a bunch of favorable coverage from people she has supposedly slept with] is something I try and stay the hell away from because the people involved in it are fucking terrifying. [...]"

"What is clear however are two things. :

1) Using the DMCA to take down criticism of your product is a terrible idea and is unethical if not in many cases flat-out illegal. [...]

2) Games journalism as a whole has a massive nepotism problem, encouraged by the publishers and developers and actively partaken in by many outlets. [...]"


"[...] TL:DR - If Zoey Quinn did engage in censorship via the abuse of the DMCA on Youtube then I thoroughly condemn her actions as being both fucking stupid and unethical. If outlets did provide her favourable coverage because she had intimate relations with some of the writers, they're goddamn idiots for doing it, why the hell would you compromise the trust of your readers for that? The shitstorm is too insane right now to make a huge amount of sense of and I have no idea what is true and what isn't. Cooler heads prevail, heard of that phrase? Calm the fuck down and things might become clearer. Also please stop shouting at me, thanks."

I always thought TB was an arrogant d**k.
But he's totally right in this. I totally support him.

Here's an interesting read:

You might also want to check some of the comments.

It just shows how Zoey Quinn is the person to blame, and further confirms Phil Fish is an idiot.

I see no attacks or comments attacking him on the link. I read the post and found nothing offensive, I agree with him.

the link is to TB's comment

i prefer not to give any voice to the attacks and instead ask where he might be at fault so people make their own judgement

I don't see what was controversial about his post/comment. What were others angry about?

Zoey Quinn is the worst thing that happenned to the indie industry in a long time.

She's a horrible person. And whenever someone proves it, she labels it as "harassment" or "sexism".
It's just ridiculous.

I don't understand how so many people could be backing her...

That's the point. He said the truth, and people started flaming him. Why ? Because he didn't support Zoey Quinn.

yeah zoe quinn is obviously to blame

the ex-bf posted his story on his own page and it didn't become a shitstorm until the fake doxxing and her DCMA abuse

she accuses him of making 4chan back him up but fails to prove any of that
