The Gender Games: Sex, Lies, and Videogames By Cathy Young October 9, 2014 Share Tweet 3,4798+130 Email Print 172 Comments Back to "GamerGate" and its tangled web. (A fairly detailed, straightforward, and balanced chronicle of the events can be read on the Know Your Meme website.) The drama began in mid-August, when Eron Gjoni, a programmer and ex-boyfriend of videogame developer Zoe Quinn, made a massive blogpost accusing her of infidelities and deceptions, with screenshots of their online chats as corroboration Quinn, a vocal "social justice Internet activist, had numerous enemies-many of them on the notoriously anarchic, anonymous 4Chan message board. They were quick to seize on the disclosures, portraying this as an ethics issue because some of Quinn's liaisons had possible implications of favoritism. One of her partners was later a judge in an independent videogame festival that had just bestowed an award on Quinn's game, Depression Quest; another was a videogame journalist who had given her a couple of positive mentions. Threads discussing this dust-up, some of them quite nasty proliferated in a variety of forums.

Notes

Not sure if this is old news and I'm a total Slowpoke, since the first article was dated two weeks ago, but I didn't see any mentions of it in the image gallery. I actually stumbled on Part 2 of the article by accident when doing research for a writing project.

Additionally, both the original article and its sequel were great reads. Don't you just want to pump your fist in the air when someone outside of videogame culture actually does their freakin' research?
