What "sucks" and what doesn't is a matter of personal opinion A large number of people with a shared opinion don't magically congeal into a measurable index of objective fact. In other words, a loud Internet mob does not equal a correct loud Internet mob misogynists are "white-knighting" (?) themselves and claiming that Quinn is using massive powers of conspiracy to suppress all media coverage of the issue; Quinn is being "white-knighted" (?) by many people who blindly believe that since she's a woman being harassed by misogynists, she is automatically an innocent torch-bearer for the cause of all things woman (and therefore "feminist", somehow).

Regardless of her looks and style Quinn seems not to be on the right side of morality from the "evidence" that her ex-boyfriend has amassed (and I confess to only cursorily having browsed, since I don't really care about random people's ntic/sexual fidelity i porters ign tho nts and run to her e just as mindlessly as the indignant trol e her reputation and Internet-cultivated persona eous fury, neither Misogynists are wrong for hating r in the for placing her on a pedestal as a first place as a female game developer.

zoë “lycan subscribe" quinn O @UnburntWitch - 1h Since I'm getting a lot of emails about this: no, l've got nothing to do with That TV show. I learned about its existence at the same time as the rest of you. No, I was not asked, consulted etc. and if I had been asked, I wouldn't have been ok with it. That's all. 5 17 42 408 zoë “lycan subscribe" quinn O @UnburntWitch · 1h I continue to reject any oversimplification of GamerGate that leaves out its roots in white supremacy, domestic violence, and the pre-existing societal issues it capitalized in favor of a more convenient and inaccurate narrative about it being solely about women in games. t7 78 5 510 @UnburntWitch - 57m zoë “lycan subscribe" quinn If I am portrayed in it, it's without my involvement or any input on my end, and is happening without my consent. If I'm written out of it, well. I'm not so sure how you can present it as an “honest" story. But that's really not my problem, either. 27 10 204 zoë “lycan subscribe" quinn ... @UnburntWitch I don't want to do any interviews on this, I don't want to give any other statements aside from this. It's bad enough having all of this pop up again without any warning or regard for how I might feel about it, so l'd like to just try and ignore it. Thank you for understanding.
zoë "lycan subscribe" quinn O @UnburntWitch I haven't stopped screaming this for the last seven years because the scarlet letter on me hasn't come off, the harassment hasn't stopped, and people still refuse to learn a god damned thing about what happened to me (and others). Ignoring history enables the repetition of it. * Margaret Sullivan O @Sulliview 7h The AP's treatment of 22-year-old journalist Emily Wilder shows how much newsroom managers still have to learn about bad-faith attacks and online harassment of their staffers, seven years after Gamergate should have taught them.

It is nothing short of a waking nightmare to be constantly impacted by it for the better part of 10 years despite all attempts to move the f--- on, only to have people say it never happened. 7:08 pm 27 May 2021 Twitter for iPhone cory barlog O @corybarlog 10m ...

O 6 27 52 O 829 zoë "leonardo doujinshi" quinn O @UnburntWitch - 1h fun reminder: the game review I supposedly "bought" with sex literally never existed in any way, shape, or form, and the psycho ex who kicked up the mob even said so himself. 000 I hate that this still somehow is considered a controversial statement. 27 78 O 771 zoë "leonardo doujinshi" quinn O @UnburntWitch · 1h I hate that I have to keep saying it but I don't know what else to do when people just let the waters be muddied for this long and my existence has been politicized to the point where I can't just live my life. 000 277 O 497 zoë "leonardo doujinshi" quinn O @UnburntWitch - 1h 000 They even named the protagonist "Vivian" so they know enough to know better than to make this a fun comedic romp.
