The fact of the matter is because of the way TB conducts his journalism he is attacked on a regular basis.

I have absolutely no opinion on the whole Zoe Quinn shit that went on because its not my place to speculate on the tons of bullsh*t being thrown around, but I see no reason as to why TB had to make a statement on it.

I am a very big fan of TB, and support pretty much everything he does but he was in no way involved, and didnt have to become involved. The attacks he receives are kind of part of the job of being a journalist.

1/ if you indeed know TB you would know he has a very strong stance against DCMA abusing and behind the scenes industry connivance

2/ no one deserves to be unfairly attacked, and if you do not support journalists when they are attacked they will never be able to keep taking risks

this will still be discussed months from now - especially if any more "connection" is brought up or even worse, if any other DCMA abuse takes place

No it won't.

Like no one gives a shit about Sarkeesian anymore. This is another internet fad that will die off as all the others before it. People only made a big deal about it because some other people made a big deal about it. As soon as one side decides it's not worth it anymore, it's done.

i guess you're entitled to your opinion

but factually speaking the reddit nuclear banhammer is unprecedented, and the silence in the usual gaming media is in contrast absolutely deafening

this is a slow burner, mark my words

If the media stays silent this will die off even faster.

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


I don't follow him as much as I should. last I heared he had cancer, know if he's doing better?

I have a very limited knowledge of who TotalBiscuit is or what he does. Regardless, I support him in this endeavor.
