kc-vidya-rants The VICE Article on Zoe Quinn: Even More Disinfo defendin Apparently someone over at VICE wrot Zoe Quinn. Here is the DoNotLink page if you hate clickbait as much as I do Now, the problem with this article is that it presents a very one-sided view of Zoe's situation painting her as the victim, ignores the obvious implications of what sleeping with the press indicates in terms of journalistic bias, and COMPLETELY LEAVES OUT THE PART WHERE SHE DOXXED A RIVAL GAME JAM, CHEATED WITH JOSHUA BOGGS, AND EMOTIONALLY ABUSED HER EX. They deliberately left out such information in order to paint Zoe in a positive light. Wonderful Something else I would like to note is this particular quote from the article "To make matters even more ridiculous, males have taken to accusing Quinn not ironically, of creating "a negative image for all current and future female game devs with her actions" and "setting] back women in the video game industry." See that word? Males Ironic considering a. Most of the people calling her out for "setting women back", at least here on Tumblr, have been females. Check my original post's reblogs and count how many in agreement are female (as indicated by their blog's description). I can see quite a few b. Since this article is indirectly quoting my Tumblr post and I figure it's about time to state this anyways since Quinn is rambling nonstop about misogyny: I myself am a female Now, of course it's up to you, the reader to decide whether you want to believe that or not, since l refuse to "prove" that in any way because of how much attention this blog has gotten from the people involved in the story You know why this sets women back? Because I wanted to get into game development, and while I don't buy into the idea that "women are oppressed in the video game industry" as much as the games media loves to push it, it still is harder for a female dev in some areas I do not want to be associated with the likes of someone who emotionally abused a man, lied to him, cheated on him with several guys including a Kotaku reporter and her boss, and lied about two separate raids in order to gain publicity, and continues to pretend to be a voice of feminism or "equality". That is not a person who I want people to assume that I stand with. That is not a person we need in this industry #zoe quinn #kotaku #quinnspiracy #drama #OH BOY HERE WE GO AGAIN

kc-vidya-rants Something important to remember about this Zoe Quinn drama: This is not about the fact that she cheated on her boyfriend with 5 6 guys This is about the fact that she slept with Nathan Grayson, Joshua Boggs, and Robin Arnott, who have notable presence in the video game industry and have connections. This is about the fact that she traded sex for favors and favorable game coverage Deep down, this is about the game industry's corruption at it's core. We've known for some time that they can be bought out with money, but the idea that they can be bought out with sex was never on our minds Zoe, as of today, has faked a raid on her own Tumblr page, lied about being doxxed yet again, including giving out a fake phone number that quite obviously wasn't hers (as many figured out from a quick Google search) She is desperately trying to cover her own tracks, trying to spin this as "slut shaming", and lying about doxxing is her current plan to come out as the harassed victim" a la Anita Sarkeesian all over again. No one is making money off of the YouTube videos covering the scandal, as she claims. No one is doxxing her, as she claims Also, remember that this is not the standard women in the game industry should be set to. Zoe has now made it harder for an honest, game loving female dev to be taken seriously in the industry. Feminist or not, female or not, you should realize that Zoe Quinn is NOT on your side. This is not slut-shaming. This is exposing corruption in the media #20e quinn #kotaku #drama #depression quest #nathan grayson #robin arnott 1,030 notes

If this spreads, Kotaku will lose all credibility as a news site (as if they hadnt already) because they're literally in bed with certain game developers for good reviews.

The Escapist- Shameless bias deluxe edition

Submission - a little bit more curious, you have a non-major figure" receiving alleged "harassment", but it's apparently worth noting. I'm pretty sure the people at Wizardchan have provided evidence that they didn't actually do any of the stuff but one side of a story seems good enough for most people I guess. Posts 3980 Fair point. I think the second story had more interest and warranted a news post because it was trying to help prevent harassment in the Steam Greenlight system, which needed to be foced. You are correct that The Escapist attempts to signal boost stories which fight for the rights for people to create content (eames, videos, etc.) without the fear of harm or harassment. Zoe Quinn wasn't the story there - It was the harassment But to address something else in this thread. I contend there is no feminist gamer movement. Instead, there is a movement to respect all people everywhere.Idon't know who can argue against that sentiment The issue runs deeper, "snip Zoe Quinn is not defined by her victimhood. She is a person. A human being who has made a bunch of games. What happened is not part of an agenda or a conspiracy. There is no narrative anywhere near to what you describe, and quite honestly it feels deluded. Many people in this thread are willing to believe your version of the events, but as someone who is a part of the story, according to you, it The only story or narrative behind so-called social justice is designed to ask people to be nice to one another to treat others on the internet with respect. That's all. That's the agenda. The conspiracy for kindness Please p Joined: 29 Sep 2005 I have seen some version of this list several times in this thread already, sometimes presented as a list of questions. This is not a list of compelling evidence. To me, it seems like a stretch to create a story linking these adjusted images that simply doesn't exist. It reminds me of the content of 9/11 truthers and UFO websites I am unconvinced by any of it It means nothing The only issue that I see that is worth addressing is the behavior of people who try to accept this story as truth. It is not good to think about people this way, It is not good to continue to act in a way that's hurtful to people you have no actual knowledge about. No one in this situation is actively hurting you yet some of you are actively choosing to be part of a problem, Please think about your actions and how your words can negatively affect people. Please choose to be responsible for your own actions. Posts: 3980 Joined: 29 Sep 2005 Thank It's the narrative you and others have created. This alleged situation tarnishes no one except perhaps the ex-boyfriend guy who wrote the initial post. Writing a post like that was designed only to hurt someone else and deserves no respect The rest of the industry is unconcerned with the delusions of a few hundred people. Because yes, even though this thread has a lot of posts, and it may feel like you have a lot of people who want to participate in your narrative role-playing, I think this has become an echo chamber. Youare all bouncing the same pre-programmed nonsense around and around and you think it sounds like the noble cacophony of the masses. But it's not.You are the very vocal minority of people who enjoy hurting others with their posts on the internet. Ido not support that behavior, and I wish you would consider just how awful it is to treat others that way. 29 Sep You are not fighting for some worthwhile cause; you are not working to protest for change like the civill rights movement here in American in the 1950s. You think the woman who made a free text-based game about depression broached some serious ethical code by being a sexual partner with men and you're basing these accusations solely on the rant of a spurned ex-boyfriend. None of this would be something worthy of Martin Luther King, Jr.or Mahatma Gandhi It is between the individuals directly involved to resolve it. It is up to them if they wouldlike to make that resolution public. One of them already has: Seems to me the only ones focusing on sex (verb or noun) are coming from your side of the issue, while we're over here talking about censorship, nepotism, manipulation of the community, and journalistic ethics But hey, keep pettifogging if it so suits you. There'll be plenty of hat (or crow, don't want to be exclusionary) to go around for Censorship-I can't speak for the forums that have locked this topic, but I believe they don't have the resources or desire to keep a conversation going without heavy moderation we have at The Escapist. They also did not want to participate in aiding the harassment of an individual. I have chosen differently I want to engage with you to let you know that this behavior is not acceptable. Joined 29 Sep 2005 Nepotism-This refers to ensuring the people in power appoint family members to positions of authority in the religious bureaucracy.I don't think it applies in this situation because no one is blood-related and it's kind of an outdated term Manipulation of the community-Idon't think she did anything of the sort. She reacted to the very real harassment she was enduring Journalistic Ethics-Stephen Totillo, EIC of Kotaku, is hard-ass journalism school guy. If he supports Nathan Grayson, that's all the e you I reject the idea that any other accusation are founded in reality Hello The Escapist ran a story about Quinn's harassment in late 2013 with little evidence other than her word. We will always default towards helping out people who are the subject of harassment on the internet. I do not support behavior of that kind and will strive to protect those who are feeling the effects of it We will signal-boost those incidents because I think it's important to create change, and will only choose not to post such stories if l decide they will do more harm to the situation. I continue to ask that you consider whether your actions in crafting a false narrative are helping anything How will arguing about this situation on this forum make the world a better place? It just doesn't make sense to me why it's so important that this person is tried before a jury of the internet and found guilty of her alleged crimes. The parties directly involved have already resolved any personal ssue they had, or I hope they are at least working towards it now. That is all that's important Posts: 3980 Joined: 29 Sep 2005 What you think is happening just isn't true There is no conspiracy. There is no breach in ethics. There is nothing wrong except that a small group of posters on the internet think there is Contrary to your clalims, harassment and abuse on the internet are very real things that cause actual harm to people. It's important for you to see how participating in crafting this story contributes to harmful actions and deeds Please respect all people going forward. So you will default to one position with little or on evidence but when presented with other you will do everything possible to shame people out of even discussing it? Isn't that the very definition of editorial bias? You "Signal boosted someone based on little or no evidence and in the process make her into a pretty visible gaming personality but when that person's personal Iife explodes spectacularly raising ugly issues that is the opposite of news? Signal boosting" is the problem. You promoted her Agenda and now that agenda is unraveling you call those who put MORE evidence than you had in 2013 forward "like 9/11 truthers Posts:3980 29 Sep Yes, I am, because I think it is more important to reduce harassment and harmful behavior than to entertain the very slim possibility the claims were fabricated. I want to help people. I want other people to default towards acting respectful of others. That is what I'm trying to achieve. Iam guilty of promoting the agenda of kindness What are you trying to do agalin? Hello I want to respond to a few things in this thread We sald from the start that this conversation would be heavily moderated. Part of the reason why I allowed it to continue was that we had an awesome group of moderators who tirelessly enforce our stringent forum rules. The work of the Escaplist moderators, especially TopazFusion, is extremely appreciated. This thread is not being censored. You are now being held accountable for your actions. If you break the rules, you will be suspended or banned. Period. I stand by the journalistic integrity of The Escapist, and my earlier post in no way was an admission of a mistake or error on our part.l said we published a story with only one source, which is acceptable if we deem the source is trusted or if we feel the statement involved is enough of a story. Consider statements from game developers in interviews or reporting on posts in social media-there is no need to corroborate single sources unless there is reason to suspect the veracity of that source. And before you state there is now such a reason, I disagree. The blog post of an estranged ex-boyfriend does not call anyone's trustworthiness into question except his Posts: 3983 Joined: 29 Sep 2005 Keep in mind that The Escapist is primarily an entertainment website. We discuss games, movies, and comic books, and provide a place to find news and read reviews about the media people like to consume We strive to provide trustworthy reporting on game companies, and pundits on The Escapist will occasionally address real world current events as they intersect with media, but it is not Further, my statement stands that we will always support those who are being harassed, abused or attacked either on the internet or in person There is no burden of proof on someone who is being hurt. The reports of individuals who have been hurt by angry people on the internet are very real and I repeat that I will always default to trusting someone who says they have been hurt or abused especially If they identify with a group that has been subject to this treatment throughout history Please stop accepting the facts you want to believe are true because they fit the pre-concelved notions you have about the world. sincerely hope that no one in this thread would ever attack or abuse anyone, but forcing this narrative still has a very destructive influence. You are not helping anyone; you are not the arbiters of justice. You are not doing anything except fostering an environment in which it is acceptable to behave this way. It is not acceptable Thank you to those who are keeping civil discussion possible on this subject. Your responses are appreciated. Please continue to talk manner

The parties directly involved have already resolved any personal ssue they had, or I hope they are at least working towards it now. That is all that's important Posts: 3980 Joined: 29 Sep 2005 What you think is happening just isn't true There is no conspiracy. There is no breach in ethics. There is nothing wrong except that a small group of posters on the internet think there is Contrary to your clalims, harassment and abuse on the internet are very real things that cause actual harm to people. It's important for you to see how participating in crafting this story contributes to harmful actions and deeds Please respect all people going forward. So you will default to one position with little or on evidence but when presented with other you will do everything possible to shame people out of even discussing it? Isn't that the very definition of editorial bias? You "Signal boosted someone based on little or no evidence and in the process make her into a pretty visible gaming personality but when that person's personal Iife explodes spectacularly raising ugly issues that is the opposite of news? Signal boosting" is the problem. You promoted her Agenda and now that agenda is unraveling you call those who put MORE evidence than you had in 2013 forward "like 9/11 truthers Posts:3980 29 Sep Yes, I am, because I think it is more important to reduce harassment and harmful behavior than to entertain the very slim possibility the claims were fabricated. I want to help people. I want other people to default towards acting respectful of others. That is what I'm trying to achieve. Iam guilty of promoting the agenda of kindness What are you trying to do agalin? Hello I want to respond to a few things in this thread We sald from the start that this conversation would be heavily moderated. Part of the reason why I allowed it to continue was that we had an awesome group of moderators who tirelessly enforce our stringent forum rules. The work of the Escaplist moderators, especially TopazFusion, is extremely appreciated. This thread is not being censored. You are now being held accountable for your actions. If you break the rules, you will be suspended or banned. Period. I stand by the journalistic integrity of The Escapist, and my earlier post in no way was an admission of a mistake or error on our part.l said we published a story with only one source, which is acceptable if we deem the source is trusted or if we feel the statement involved is enough of a story. Consider statements from game developers in interviews or reporting on posts in social media-there is no need to corroborate single sources unless there is reason to suspect the veracity of that source. And before you state there is now such a reason, I disagree. The blog post of an estranged ex-boyfriend does not call anyone's trustworthiness into question except his Posts: 3983 Joined: 29 Sep 2005 Keep in mind that The Escapist is primarily an entertainment website. We discuss games, movies, and comic books, and provide a place to find news and read reviews about the media people like to consume We strive to provide trustworthy reporting on game companies, and pundits on The Escapist will occasionally address real world current events as they intersect with media, but it is not Further, my statement stands that we will always support those who are being harassed, abused or attacked either on the internet or in person There is no burden of proof on someone who is being hurt. The reports of individuals who have been hurt by angry people on the internet are very real and I repeat that I will always default to trusting someone who says they have been hurt or abused especially If they identify with a group that has been subject to this treatment throughout history Please stop accepting the facts you want to believe are true because they fit the pre-concelved notions you have about the world. sincerely hope that no one in this thread would ever attack or abuse anyone, but forcing this narrative still has a very destructive influence. You are not helping anyone; you are not the arbiters of justice. You are not doing anything except fostering an environment in which it is acceptable to behave this way. It is not acceptable Thank you to those who are keeping civil discussion possible on this subject. Your responses are appreciated. Please continue to talk manner
