You are making the assumption that their opinions are based on a specific source - despite conveniently forgetting that, for the most part, this "source" has been mostly or completely deleted, after Zoe got in contact with the lead moderator for /r/gaming/ Secondly, the ex boyfriend would have every right to be angry based on the way he was treated - What you seem to not understand however, is that I am a games developer, and part of this industry, I have attended the same events and conventions - I have actually met Zoe who was, at the time I met her, accompanies by that "jealous and angry ex-boyfriend". And again, you are wrong - Nathan DID write a piece that covered her game, he just wrote it for another site - and this occured *AFTER* their "relationship" started.
Let me let you in on a little secret - i AM a woman, so you won't be able to use this line against me on a whim like you have done here.
They don't get a free pass - we only know the names of three of the accused, one has had to basically confirm it to remain employed, the other two have done their best to sidestep the issue, all of which if they knew she was still in a relationship, are just as bad as a result - the accused , and married guy especially for doing so while married of course. However, "look, those horrible men aren't being treated like shit, theyre given a free pass!" lends no excuse for her actions, nor does it mean they get a free pass - you are welcome to cover that portion of the topic specifically, and I'm sure most people here will agree that they're as guilty in all of this as she is accused of being - but flat out trying to silence anyone who aposes your opinion is the wrong approach entirely. |
You should know, there are men out there that respect you for speaking like this. It's truthful and, more importantly, not "cashing in" on the current social clime that demonizes men at every opportunity. Bravo.
