    What the fuck did she even do?

    Not that it justifies anything

    According to some tumblr, she was dating guy a and he claims she 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?

    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

    Didn't know about the ex-boyfriends involvement. That is incredibly shitty.

    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

    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.

    so what

    All I know about this whole Zoe Quinn thing is that every single person who is directly involved with that fiasco seems to be--from what I can tell--wrong and bad. I haven't seen a single silver lining through all the reading I've done about the story. People are awful and from my perspective everyone on both sides should feel bad and move on. The truth will probably never come out and it's just getting really super ugly at this point.

    the doxxing was not part of the ex-boyfriend's post, it was part of a later hack of zoe's tumblr

    the ex had to know something like this was coming though when he presented a meticulously prepared arrangement of private chat logs

    That is my understanding, yes. Though it's a bit difficult to parse exactly who is on what side at this point. Seems like a lot of angry people pushing their personal agendas and saying horrible things. Am I wrong about that?

    I went magic. I know they rebalanced Quen (shield spell) so I don't know how good it is anymore. I remember using Yrden (trap spell) a lot as well. If you go down that path, I'd at least get the increase roll distance out of the sword branch.

    okay let me clarify the situation for you

    side 1: a bunch of gross boys, grossboys if you will, have released zoe quinn's personal information and are harassing her relentlessly from multiple avenues

    there is no side 2

    But clearly for them to be this riled up, making such awful comments and taking such unforgivable and absolutely unjustifiable actions, there must have been something to prompt that. Right? Be it true or not, there has to have been some legitimate-sounding accusation coming from someone out there besides her ex-boyfriend. But maybe not. Maybe people are that dumb.

    The "accusation" is that she cheated on someone

    That's not anyone's business and even if absolutely true is NOT A REASON TO THREATEN SOMEONE

    the prompt was a blog post by zoe's ex-boyfriend, but they don't actually give a shit about her ex's grievances, it's just a thin excuse to harass her

    people will absolutely harass women for no reason or at the barest pretense

    Just dont harass anyone. Dont hack someones account to post nude pictures of that person. If you have justifiable reasons for harassing someone I would love to hear it.
