So I decided to venture into the under belly of the internet on this one. As in all things, I tried to see both sides of the issue and I’m all for investigating possible corruption, but came across as more slut-shaming anti-feminism crusade. If there were any valid points to discuss, it was lost in rambling diatribes about feminism and complaints about anyone talking about social justice. There’s a video of “evidence” that I was really only able to get through a little bit. Most of the purported evidence was references to anonymous posting on message boards and blog post from an ex of Quinn’s. Reader be ware of the comments section.

Okay, so allow me to clear this up for anyone reading this. I understand tensions are high right now so most people who are against zoe probably aren’t keeping a cool head about this. But I am keeping cool and while ‘The Internet Being a Hate Machine!’ may get a site a lot of views, the person who wrote this article clearly did not do there fair share of research.
This is not about the fact that Zoe Quinn slept with 5 guys. This is not about anti-feminism or putting women down. This is about a hobby that has become corrupted to the boiling point. This is about companies and journilists misleading consumers to buy into a product because they have gotten money or have slept with the creator. Its about the overwhelming bias, and the scandals like this one that we are talking about here. All of this is affecting the gaming industry. An industry that I love, just as much as I love equal rights. If you want to know more and you actually care, you are actually curious about what is happening go watch http://youtu.be/C5-51PfwI3M on youtube and read http://thezoepost.wordpress.com/2014/08/16/tldr/ which is a post by Zoe’s Ex boyfriend about how insane all this corruption is, and what people are actually talking about.
Personally I like the video more, but that’s just my opinion.
Thank you for your time. 🙂
