These are the first articles that pop out when you look up "Zoe Quinn" 

 

Why are they making her the victim here? 

Why are gamers viewed as "oppressors" here? are gaming journalists so pathetic they just side with the woman because she's a woman? every site is afraid to talk about it. why is this?

Is this thread also going to get banned by this site too ?  

Is the internet so deep in the "Social Justice Warrior"  crap that it became like a feminist ISIS or something?

 

Here is a video about it if you don't know what this is about.

I'm no social justice warrior, but i look with a bleary eye about all of the "proud non-SJWs" who seem to come out of the woodwork and rant about double standards.

Came in here thinking that it was going to be someone proclaiming that gaming journalists have become mouthpieces of the industry rather than actually asking the questions that need to be asked.

Instead, it's a rant about gaming journalists calling it as they saw it (as though that's something that shows their lack of maturity/honesty/professionalism), with the phrase "grow some balls" in relation to the reporting of an issue that was supposed to be about gender.

I do know that forum posters are doing this. I'm saying Journalists, all the jouranists are siding with "Gamers are 'meh-soh-ganeh' "

I visit Kotaku (and IO9)  daily. I just ignore the Patricia Hernandez posts and look at the new game announcement threads. 

Their threads are almost always garbage nowadays thanks to PH. she just complains about the simplest things 

It was like this even before she came onboard for example...

Listen to this. Its David Jaffe speaking about being accused for this.

When it comes to men they love their click and bait crap. but women are holy and clean because all hail the mighty uterus

It's humorous. I imagine that's exactly what he wants to happen.

And snuggle the girls be they short or tall,
Then follow young Mat whenever he calls,
To dance with Jak o' the Shadows."
