Abuse Call Out About Maya Felix Kramer, aka legobutts, Zoe Quinn's PR person

IT MESSAGE compose sent NOTE: The black bars aren't relevant to anything going on re: ZQ and Maya. They're just personal identification information. sent 1 day ago chupacabrazier I recently saw your post in Qrios's thread regarding your experience with some of the PR reps close to Zoe. I was If you would feel comfortable t of ZQ's PR rep If you feel comfort able talking about MFK, I'd appreciate it. If not, no worries t 1 day ago Sure, I wouldn't mind. Though I hesitate to reveal my identity obviously based on the backlash. I'm not woied about some sort of reputation to uphold, just cautious. I guess I will if it made some important progress, but ideally I have nothing to lose or gain from this, so I guess you could say I'm relatively objective. I'm just a chick who loves gaming and despises this whole mess- from both sides. I'd be happy to answer any questions you have Ill preface by saying the last I worked with her was inbefore she was heavily involved as an SJW, didn't identify as queer, or was some form of a dev PR rep. The only reason I'm aware of these things at this point is because of reading gaming sites and then researching this whole corruption 'crisis She may have changed to some degree, but I know that she's highly manipulative and a fantastic personality/ social chameleon which is deeply rooted in who she is think. Again, trying to be objective). And I would hate for her to perpetuate any unethical behaviour based on her particular set of skills. № Taken' quote intended Haha But nipulation going like that happening-getting my ideas stolen to the point where anything I work for and want to slowly implement d for tell me ameleon? Were there any things in particular that stuck out to you, like something unethical they did? Are they the kind of person who would steal an idea from someone and claim it for their own? But yeah, thank you so much if you could answer any of these. This saves me a lot of hardship and worry. long haha. I drank a lot if coffee and have an insane amount of free time at work. Also I dont know fair a ut leaving anything out . Il bascally just st end what you feel about it. Firstly I1 ask what hat want Anyhow, I worked with maya fromWhen I first met her she was friendly and warm Actually beyond that- almost hyper happy and very fun. befriend, I could see us becoming pals because of one shared interest: video games. At first they thought I was so great and told me and others so. We worked in a environment. We'd talk about our families, our love life, hard times, good times, games, religion, and everything in They had a particular about They mentionedwas a narcissist and lied chronically and that they were glad they were not (I feel terrible mentioning this but I'm doing so only because I think they have a lot of those traits... Actually including borderline personality disorder). So I got to know them very well, or so I thought They started to invite me to things like PAX, to come over and game, and go to parties. In doing so, their friends wanted to hang out with me too, with one of them being interested in me romantically. This didn't sit well with maya, and though I assured them that as their friend and coworker I wouldn't cross any line that made thenm uncomfortable. Bros before hos and what not. I consider myself fiercely loyal and a chicks chick. I told them this. Still, noticed their behaviour was changing towards me, but I thought maybe they just have a mean sense of humour. Our boss was very also starting to get close with me. We'd go for lunch and things here and there. It was becoming obvlous that I was very well-iked with our boss, and this didn't sit well with maya. Maya was not just the favourite with our boss at our shop, they were also paid quite a bit more, took trips with our boss, and had more privileges than our manager even did. This didnt bug me at all- I was just enjoying the cheerful work environment. Anyhow, as it was becoming more and lore obvious our boss liked me a lot, our boss gave me a work project for the store that was all mine, and that other employees were going to help me with. It's success was going to be a direct reflection on me. Anyway, maya brutally sabotaged it. Made me look completely incapable, and very very stupid. Maya set it up so that I would fail, so they could swoop in and rescue the whole thing and 'save the day'. After all this building my trust and getting to know me wel, I realized this was just to spot my weaknesses and areas they So they did. Constantly. It didn't stop with work sabotage, but theyd lie about things I did wrong behind my back so they could make fun of me to my boss ( at this point my boss thought I was an idiot thanks to the handy work of maya). Theyd also lie about things I said, or how I felt about people. At one point they told me that one of their guy ay away from him because he's not interested ( this is one of the romantically at me briefly, before maya convinced him I was a bunch of terrible things. Later I found out this guy had turned them down romantically and it didn't sit well with maya. I can sympathize the bitter sentiments towards the situation, but I did nothing wrong. I had already told maya I wasnt going to do anything that didn't sit well with them... Plus I wasn't even interested in this guy) ntastic job of turning other coworkers on me, including my own boss. Soon work became unpleasant But by this point I was dating someone, had a set of cool friends, and life was great. Well, maya sure worked hard to make my life miserable. In fact, they bullied me pretty hard at work, even to the point where I cried a couple times. Then they would try to comfort me, and as soon as I stopped, they'd act like i was crazy and too sensitive and that they Maya also would make comments about how guys would have a crush on them because they were a'cool gamer girl (this was pre gender neutral days) and that it was so easy for them to get them to do what they want There were a few acquaintances that were brutally hurt by them because of this. Out of all of this mess this was the one thing that made me very angry. Maya could bully me til the cows come home but I have confidence and no mean manipulative girl was going to bring me down, especially because they didn't like that I was also a gamer girl and that I was a threat' I CRINGE typing that because it sounds so self-gratifying. This unfortunately was the actual situation. This isn't some petty attitude I adhere to) Maya also made comments about how they only liked having male friends and that they can't stand woman. At one point they commented that they didn't want to go to a stagette and wanted to go to the bachelor party because they despised woman. And I can actually quote because this disturbed me they said I hate woman. chuckles... I'm such a misogynist". They said this to me... girl. There were a lot of other comments made along these lines. I have old coworkers that can confirm (in fact can confirm this whole e made me angry they But no matter how much say this without sounding like a jerk, but I can't help the my highschool grad dress becauseI s very good to them. Hell, I gave them ed them to feel g e day this about you and your I've also written you an epic novel... My job offers me a lot of sitting and internet time haha. Anyw go on and on about petty little things like that, but a far as whether maya would steal your ideas, truth is I do not know. It depends on the context. They may invite you into their life and introduce you to many many cool people which I would so HOPE they would do. But b not a co-idea betw that they would be better than that. My experlence is my own, so there is a chance they'd be bloody fantastic t But DEAR GOD DO NOT LET HER FIND OUT THERE speculative, Im and that their viaw is correct. Maya is very vindictive and is very good at secretly turning others on you. I think their morality is lost in this area. Very lost. I recormmend extreme caution. tive, obviously I am not because of my u d honesty ne credibility o consider. However, may elpful if it helps her bottom line. No clue what that is. But I know they will say or do whatever Ma hold grudge against them, becau they have unresolved issues that may never be recognized. I wante lp them when thing makes me look like a pathetc jerk. But again, I'm not convinced of this. What is not fine is hurting other people who dont have the tools to cope, or other people's CAREERS. Like holy crap have some heart person! Regardless of how you feel about other women or a group ike TFYC, slandering a group then acting like its because a mass of people against them is not o o their desks being forced o provide free ideas, then they would be free to leave at any time, and don't idea opeoplewh abotage individual (me and others I know) because we are "competition" or a threat", I imagine that experience could call out the unethical pattens of anyone trying to do so. Hope this helps, and Im sorry if this is discouraging. I wish I could help. There is always a chance she had a life e hurting o Itering experience that forced her to make some big life changes. When I knew her she was straight and identified s female... Although she did refer to herself as a boy too so who knows. I would feel bad if they had become am entirely different person and that I'm now as bad as them by hurting them by offering my experience. That said, I f you do end up working with maya, I would prefer if you didn't share this with them... Although they'd just act like who can c this was all a big I can think assure you Im e end of the day I just dont want to see other gamers/devs hurt, because I have nothing to Gain or lose. Ugh enough of this epic. Haha. Now to go back to work. Which is... Browsing reddit and watching Starcraft strategy of kittens soma I'm embarrassed how long this ended up. Oh well I like DETAILS. I guess start from the bottom up! Redacted Questions, just jumping to Glad I could help. I would definitely say proceed with extreme caution when engaging with maya. They even ended up screwing over our old boss in the kong run haha. No one escapes unscathed. And you have such a fantastic idea. It IS valuable. I'd almost want to say find someone ese in the SJW community or otherwise and implement ideas with them You can definitely see the opportunist ways with the "cuties killing video games" campaign. I'd almost say treat it like comic book plot: it's a secret serum, and share it with those that you know and trust, it gets in the wrong hands! maya about sure howw credible. Although an INCREDIBLE job with selling the importance of being open in the community and being 'all about the love', Like kudos to them. I genuinely mean that.

Eron Confirms Another Zoe Acquaintance Testimonial

H thisuserisnotreal Gl 172 points 2 days ago" (last edited 2 days ago) I met Zoe about 2 1/2 years ago. I had a friend who wanted to date her, and he wanted my opinion of her. After spending some time getting to know her, she seemed really cool. She had big ideas and was extremely passionate. She even mirrored my opinions. You need to know that she's a chameleon. She's charming and can adapt to any environment. It's easy to trust her. This is all relevant to make you understand why people stand up for her. She makes everything she says seem genuine After I told my friend that she was cool and dateable and they started dating, things changed. Suddenly, she was using details from my life story, things that explain why I am who I am, in stories she was telling me. It was then I started to doubt the validity of other things she said (none of which I will share because that is not my place). As I started piecing together stories she told me over the time I knew her, things started not adding up. There were inconsistencies, and I started casually asking her about things when they didn't make sense with the narrative she had previously given This is when she started arguing the most minor things with me, which I assume was to try to discredit the questions I was asking. It also became obvious that she was trying to separate my friend from us (There were more people involved than just me, but I'm one of the only ones willing to risk this and deal with the fallout.) because she'd drag him into the arguments. Who's not going to side with their new S0? One day, I received an email asking what my problem with Zoe was. When I described the things she did, such as stealing bits of my identity (which I believe I just called lying and didn't get into details) and creating discord between us, my friend didn't see things my way. I even pointed out then that she is the type of feminist who uses feminism to get ahead and for hate. Instead of reading the words I used and the points I made, the response I received was only thatI hate her because she's a feminist. (FYI, I'm a feminist who knows that men are our allies and we need to work together.) I recognized the lying and manipulation pretty quickly (maybe 6-8 weeks in), so I don't have a mo compelling story. Ever since then, I've had to sit silently and watch her be lauded for her strong principles and social activism. Anyone I told about her behavior, even if she had screwed them in some way, excused it mostly out of fear of losing a contact or a friend who happened to be friends with her I don't care about her being punished or losing her status as a dev. It's not about that for me. It's about recognizing a hurtful person and that person learning and stopping it. I don't want people to harass her. I don't want people to harass her friends.

incoming shitstorm quinnspiracy gotcha bitch woo!

Extremes I'm a nobody. I don't know how many tweets you get coming at you, especially now, I can only imagine how much you have to sort through. I'm just one voice, and sadly, I'm sure it will get drowned out by louder and more numerous voices. This is an issue that bothers me though, and it needs to be said. I just hope I don't get ignored and my message is heard. If not by you, Zoe, by someone Extremes. If you listen to the media, it seems to be all that exists anymore. You're either on one end of the spectrum or the other. There is no in between. You're either with us, or against us, and if you're against us, then you have all the traits we associate with the other side. There are no exceptions, no matter how you present yourself There are a lot of people upset about all this, and what it has uncovered. I think it's extremely juvenile to simply brush off anyone with criticism involved with this as "against women in gaming." While I'm positive there are some among us who feel that strongly about it, MANY of us do not feel that way. At the end of the day, we love games, regardless of where they come from or who made them. A lot of us understand the part women not only play in the current industry, but in the history of the entire culture Case in point, when The Fine Young Capitalists wanted to thank 4chan's N/ board for their donations to their project, they asked N/ for suggestions on their video series regarding women in gaming, the response was clear They wanted them to do videos on great females who work in the industry. N/ even supplied TFYC with a picture that's been passed around N/ for ages, of prominent women who have contributed significantly to the industry. I want to make that clear, this picture has been around for a long time, it wasn't created for the sole purpose of sending this to TFYC. When TFYC askedi, many users requested someone post that picture, as it's a perfect example of many of the women who work in the industry You can find that picture here:http://i.imgur.com/6Crriga.png" class-"linkifyplus >http://i.imgur.com/6Crriga.png Nl donated to TFYC not because of spite, or because of pity. I'm sure some anons did, because the extreme DOES exist, but the response was so strong because n/ believed in the message TFYC was trying to deliver They believed not enough women got into gaming because they were told they couldn't, and they wanted to prove that women CAN design and make great games. Many anons didn't even care about the message, but liked the games being presented and voted because they wanted to see the game get made This message again is very clear in the character N/ came together and designed for TFYC because of their donation level. Vivian James. "Let's just play already." It's a message that should resonates with what I'm trying to say. The majority of us, again ignoring the extremes, just love great games and will support those great games A lot of us are annoyed at those threatening your life. It's not helping our message, it's not helping our cause Your biggest defense is that you're being harassed you, doxed, insulted, and threatened. Instead of actually addressing the concerns, it becomes about you being attacked. I think I speak for a lot of us when I say that's despicable of those doing that to you. I know I don't speak for everyone, because again, those on the extreme ends of the spectrum DO exist, but they are not the majority of the people talking about this We're getting grouped with those people however, and anything we try to bring to light gets discredited, not by the merit of its claim, but by your automatic association with those who are actually doing you harm. I do not know if it's intentional or not, but it seems hypocritical to judge someone based on your assumption of them, rather tharn what they are actually trying to say I also want to make it very, VERY clear that the extremes are on BOTH ends of the spectrum. I have seen some absolutely disgusting things being said from people who support you. Everything you're allegedly going through, I have seen done to people in YOUR name. One in particular that stands out to me, is comparing anyone on this "side" to ISIS. That should sicken you And so, we come to this. The actual issue we have. As I've mentioned in my earlier tweets, which I am assuming you paid little attention to, we have been tired of the corruption rampant in the industry for some time. It's obvious what's going on, but rarely do we have evidence. We only see what's on the surface, and can only guess what's going on behind the scenes. Sometimes we get glimpses, but very rarely do we get anything concrete Then Eron comes along with his "manifesto." First thing I want to address is this, stop trying to simply write it off as a jilted ex-boyfriend. He provides CREDIBLE sources for his claims. i.e. directly from you, Zoe. He proves the chat logs are not doctored, but seeing how you're the one that wrote to him, you very well know this. People have been put under the bus with MUCH less evidence I want to stress this next part, as it is one of the more common deflections made. The fact that you slept with several individuals is NOT the issue. I can not stress this enough. What is important is who you slept with, and some will argue infidelity as it speaks to your character. They believe that you can not be trusted, and plays a large part as to why many people are so willing to believe you'd false-flag your doxs, and that you did them yourself. They believe that if you can be that manipulative to someone you claim you care about, how far are you willing to go to prove your point to people you don't even know. Having an active sexual life is one thing, cheating is something else all together, and will always paint someone in a different light to many people afterwards The infidelity, while an issue for some, is not the resounding problem though. The issue is journalistic integrity and just how close and familiar developers are getting with their journalists reporting on them. Most of us know Nathan Grayson never wrote a review for your game. While it's not clear the exact conditions of your relationship with Nathan at the time of the posted article concerning the failed Game Jam relationship, he did not make the ethical decision to report the relationship, and recuse himself from possible future situations r you two engaged in a sexual The fact that he did not do that bothers many. It seems to indicate that it's not instilled into journalists that it's the ethical thing to do. Many developers and journalists form close bonds, but when a journalist reports on something, we have no transparency of the connection and bond those two entities share. When a journalist gets close to a developer, that creates a conflict of interest as they may be more or sometimes even less favorable of the content the developer creates because of their connection they share. Whether or not they are more favorable or less critical, it is still a clear and present conflict of interest. It has manipulated their motivation, as they might expect more of them, or are more willing to let something slide, because of their bond. It does not matter if Nathan never reported on anything you've done since you had sexual encounters. He should have known what the ethical thing to do was, and he did not take that step At the time of me writing this, Kotaku has admitted they should be more transparent to this exact kind of thing Stephen Totilo has not only said they will make sure that articles will make sure to mention personal connections between the journalist and news source, but that any of their journalists aren't allowed to directly fund individual developers through Patreon. Why do you think this is? It's true, it wasn't JUST the Nathan Grayson stuff that brought it to this, but how can you continue to claim this is just about you as a woman, when we're already gotten Kotaku to admit they might have been wrong? And it all comes back to extremes. I hope someone took the time to read this and can see that I'm not a sexist pig sending r--- threats, but rather someone who is upset at something they are passionate about, and finally getting the concrete evidence needed to demand some change. If you see the constant threads on Ni, the overwhelming call is to NOT harass, as that will accomplish nothing. You're focusing just on the extremists, and I fully agree that what they are doing is juvenile and reprehensible. They are just the loudest though. That majority believe it or not, are right there with you thinking they are terrible people. But you need to stop grouping everyone who isn't in support of you into that category. I hope I reach out to even just one person, and at the end of this they understand that we're not all extremists
Extremes I'm a nobody. I don't know how many tweets you get coming at you, especially now, I can only imagine how much you have to sort through. I'm just one voice, and sadly, I'm sure it will get drowned out by louder and more numerous voices. This is an issue that bothers me though, and it needs to be said. I just hope I don't get ignored and my message is heard. If not by you, Zoe, by someone Extremes. If you listen to the media, it seems to be all that exists anymore. You're either on one end of the spectrum or the other. There is no in between. You're either with us, or against us, and if you're against us, then you have all the traits we associate with the other side. There are no exceptions, no matter how you present yourself There are a lot of people upset about all this, and what it has uncovered. I think it's extremely juvenile to simply brush off anyone with criticism involved with this as "against women in gaming." While I'm positive there are some among us who feel that strongly about it, MANY of us do not feel that way. At the end of the day, we love games, regardless of where they come from or who made them. A lot of us understand the part women not only play in the current industry, but in the history of the entire culture Case in point, when The Fine Young Capitalists wanted to thank 4chan's N/ board for their donations to their project, they asked N/ for suggestions on their video series regarding women in gaming, the response was clear They wanted them to do videos on great females who work in the industry. N/ even supplied TFYC with a picture that's been passed around N/ for ages, of prominent women who have contributed significantly to the industry. I want to make that clear, this picture has been around for a long time, it wasn't created for the sole purpose of sending this to TFYC. When TFYC askedi, many users requested someone post that picture, as it's a perfect example of many of the women who work in the industry You can find that picture here:http://i.imgur.com/6Crriga.png" class-"linkifyplus >http://i.imgur.com/6Crriga.png Nl donated to TFYC not because of spite, or because of pity. I'm sure some anons did, because the extreme DOES exist, but the response was so strong because n/ believed in the message TFYC was trying to deliver They believed not enough women got into gaming because they were told they couldn't, and they wanted to prove that women CAN design and make great games. Many anons didn't even care about the message, but liked the games being presented and voted because they wanted to see the game get made This message again is very clear in the character N/ came together and designed for TFYC because of their donation level. Vivian James. "Let's just play already." It's a message that should resonates with what I'm trying to say. The majority of us, again ignoring the extremes, just love great games and will support those great games A lot of us are annoyed at those threatening your life. It's not helping our message, it's not helping our cause Your biggest defense is that you're being harassed you, doxed, insulted, and threatened. Instead of actually addressing the concerns, it becomes about you being attacked. I think I speak for a lot of us when I say that's despicable of those doing that to you. I know I don't speak for everyone, because again, those on the extreme ends of the spectrum DO exist, but they are not the majority of the people talking about this We're getting grouped with those people however, and anything we try to bring to light gets discredited, not by the merit of its claim, but by your automatic association with those who are actually doing you harm.
