#Gamergate

Absolutely glorious:

I posted earlier in this thread the account of the woman in charge of a nonprofit women's development team taking ideas for video games from women and giving most of the proceeds to charity (the rest would go to the content creator - whichever woman suggested the idea). The Fine Young Capitalists' received a question from Zoe Quinn regarding the amount of money given to the winner of the contest - Zoe thought it was too low, and the development team told her that they thought it was fair for just suggesting an idea. So Zoe took after them like a greyhound chases a rabbit and decided to make their lives hell for this initiative. She sent her followers after them and had the leader doxxed. She panned them to every gaming site, and when TFYC tried to present their case, the gaming press turned up their collective nose at them.

Fast forward to the past few days - TFYC have decided to try and reboot the initiative, this time asking for donations so the game can become a reality. 4chan has decided do a decent thing (which is a barometer of how morally and ethically bankrupt Zoe is) by supporting this group and donating to them. Now Zoe's allies are throwing tantrums that TFYC are letting them donate.

Was wondering when this would show up. So: he's lying, or at the very least very confused. Literally all she did was question why they wanted to own the rights and give the money to charity when actually giving both to the women would go along better with their intended purpose (and because working for free/exposure is, uh, bad), along with pointing out to them that their rule about trans women (which has apparently since been changed since) was weirdly/overly restrictive. She made like 5 tweets total about it and then did nothing else. That's all. A few, non-attacking tweets. Dude's just blaming her for all the people who saw her question that stuff and then agreed that it wasn't a good idea. I mean, if someone else then spontaneously did those things to him because they saw her tweets, I guess you could see it as technically being her fault in a weird disconnected overall cosmic sense, but she sure didn't tell them or encourage them to do it.
