Zoe Quinn's tumblr has been hacked with a bunch of personal information posted on it to facilitate harassment of her and her family. Furthermore, video games must be destroyed.
This very forum had some weirdo dump a bunch of private conversations with her in a thread a few days ago.
there seems to be some serious grossboys mobilization against zoe quinn going on right now
you know for a while there the gaming feminist illuminati was going all right but I am increasingly seeing grossboys winning, successfully driving women out
She had a relationship with a journalist is what they ransacking her about. The journalist in question never did a review of her games. So being a woman was good enough, also anime avatars made them do it.
I don't think this Sleepbot app is actually doing anything
I'm pretty sure it knows fuck all about my sleep cycles and the "smart alarm" pretty much just goes off at the exact time I set it for
(which you would think you'd want an alarm to do but this supposedly might go off up to a half hour early depending on what stage of sleep it judges you're in based on motion detection and sound recording, and you're supposed to be more rested as a result)

The Dynasty Warriors style of gameplay is a fun enough concept that I think could get my money's worth out of buying and playing one maybe once a decade or if there is a cool new skin put on it
you see, hyrule warriors is like the avengers of zelda
something something magic opens portals to the worlds of skyward sword, ocarina of time, and twilight princess, and characters from all these eras come together to defeat evil

As an aside, is the journalist a well known individual in the game reporting community? I want to know whose name goes on the ever expanding list of online assholes

Oh the people attacking her are from the usual places,reddit and 4chan. I dont wanna talk too much about this nonsense but it seems to just be anonymous assholes doing this.

I read that as she had a relationship with a journalist and people made a bunch of baseless mental leaps and started harassing her about it or something
edit I mean I'm not sure I'm reading it right either, asking for clarification from somebody who might actually know

there's no "just" about it
she is being threatened, her friends and family harassed. That the people doing so are doing it from anonymous accounts doesn't diminish what she's being subjected to in the slightest.
She was actually supposed to do a panel on surviving internet harassment next week at PAX, but has apparently pulled out (for entirely understandable reasons).
The Internet is full of empowering tools, but who are we empowering? It feels like the most toxic voices have strangled our ability to have a conversation, and we’re now used to a world where death threats and harassment are both expected and tolerated. Giant Bomb news editor Patrick Klepek has reported and commented on the industry while dealing with major life traumas, including the death of his father and colleague Ryan Davis. Designer Zoe Quinn experienced waves of abuse—both on and off the Internet—while trying to get Depression Quest on Steam. Their experiences have given them much to ponder about how we digitally conduct ourselves. Both will present stories of the personal impact these moments had, and what we can do about them.

the journalist is not involved with the harassment campaign, and has in fact been supporting her
this began when a different ex-boyfriend posted a bunch of shit online which grossboys rallied around

Went jogging yesterday after work. Woke up and my neck must have been bent some stupid angle because now it hurts to look around AND my shins hurt.
Am I broken? y/n
I guess I should see if my folks got some extended warranty on me when I was born.

hey
hey, this?
this is part of the fucking problem
don't you dare try and trivialise it by waving it off as anonymous assholes
they are people, like you and me, who we'll never meet, but have made the decision to do despicable things
don't you try and lessen that by attaching some notorious label and saying 4chan gonna 4chan

According to some tumblr, she was dating guy a and cheated on him with some folks. Which... doesn't seem like anybody's business? To me it's like couples arguing on facebook. Nobody wants to see that shit. Keep it behind closed doors, you know?
Where did we get the term grossboys? These people are fucking assholes. Hell I'd be surprised if she ever looks at her Twitter again but I still shot her a quick message of support.

fixed that for you
all we know for sure is her ex started making claims while at the same time provided her personal contact information to anyone that would want to attack her for being a woman on the internet/female game designer/feminist while pretending they were doing it because "ethics"
whether or not his claims are true are A) unimportant, and CoolSmiley)None of our business, as you say

That's not what I am saying. They are people with anime avatars running around acting like they have nothing to hide and shitting all over a public person. They are anonymous and they are assholes. They are from reddit and from 4chan. Some people in the thread misunderstood me when I was talking about the journalist and I wanted it to be clear it wasnt anyone that was known it was from unknown people who hide behind anonymity.

One of my top five favorite bannings.

Not that it justifies anything
wow mr. fish sure has a neat twitter
She be'd a woman, apparently.
I love Phil Fish.

What is the next big super hip WiiU game coming out this year that I should concern myself with that doesn't involve smashing brothers?

Its been sort of weird watching people get hyped for that
Huh! This looks pretty fancy
I'll give it a shot
I dismissed it early on but they've been showing some legitimately cool stuff since e3
It works super well
word of warning: if your cat jumps on your bed at 3am its going to think you're coming out of your deep sleep and try to wake you up
otherwise its great
What sort of stuff?
I find it nigh impossible to get excited about anything Dynasty Warriors related.

Yes but
do you do anything other than push x

but for some reason the Zoe Quinn stuff just makes me want to fucking cry and never stop
This will be here until I receive an apology or Weedlordvegeta get any consequences for being a bully

I'll take sad fucking irony for 800, Alex.

You know how in Game of Thrones Tyrion goes all "I am guilty of the crime of being a dwarf you motherfuckers"?
It's kinda like that except she's a woman.
