It does not affect you send message redditor for 2 months MODERATOR OF r/altscifi /r/altsciencefiction I'm only typing anything on this topic due to a random commenter attempting to trash-talk on the issue in my subreddit (a subreddit that's completely unrelated to the so-called Zoe Quinn Conspiracy) The quoted comment above almost saves me the trouble of writing anything on the topic I would add the s: TROPHY CASE what's this? following as a set of general remark using "moral indignation" as an excuse to attempt an Internet character assassination on someone else is hypocritical and itself highly immoral the parties involved (Zoe Quinn, her ex-boyfriend, and the five alleged adulterers -- at least one of whom is married -- whom she supposedly had sexual relations with) are the only ones who have any business dealing with her sexual infidelity there is no objective way to "prove" that her game sucks and therefore she must have slept with reviewers in order to receive high marks for the game. 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). It's also worthy of note that she seems not to dissuade anyone from offering her the pedestal to stand on Verified Email username ssword remember me reset password . attractive-looking people, especially women, generate a polarity of envious hatred and unearned adoration Zoe Quinn neatly fits a niche social/sexual demographic for some people (purple hair, piercings, the ability to appropriate a "nerd" identity when it suits her, feigned "cute" authenticity through strategic awkwardness and casual proclivity for attention-seeking without seeming try-hard). 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.
