![+ [-] ZexMarquiesol 363 points 1 day ago Forget Z.Q. for a minute As far as I can tell, No one has mentioned the big red flag that was brought up in this audio blog NONE of the journalists he contacted would touch his game jam, unless there was a woman who was being oppressed attached to it Did no one else catch that? Seriously, Journalists that claim to be on the feminists side, claim they want more opportunities for women in gaming, And they finally have a chance to write a piece on something being done, and they refuse to talk about it because it doesn't have a "hook", That it isn't "Click Bait" so to speak. There isn't a damsel in distress, so they won't touch it because there they feel there won't be enough clicks, or enough interest unless someone is being oppressed There are two major problems with this 1. They are being hypocrites! They claim to care about this subject, but when push comes to shove, no one( that he contacted) would talk about it, because what it all boils down to, is what will get the most specific individuals don't actually care about the issue, but are simply piggy-backing on the wave of 2. This means that the only "women in games" articles being published (again, at least by the people he hindered from participating in the gaming sphere. This means, Only the s----- instances of women in publicity. What will get more clicks, what will generate more ad revenue. This shows, that at lease these excitement whenever there is a controversy contacted), are articles showing someone being oppressed, attacked, or in some way or another, being gaming seem to be reported, So whenever good stuff is happening, No one is willing to talk about it, which can create the illusion that this problem is worse than it may really be. ( Whether it is or not, I don't know But if there are enough publications with this mentality, then the perception can easily be skewed in one direction or the other. ) In this entire audio blog, This was the thing that stuck out to me the most. I honestly wish he would release the names of these "journalists" and the publications they work for, So that way we know not to trust these specific people anymore whe so call them hypocrites for claiming to be for women, when they clearly show that they are only in it for the clicks I want to know who these people are, the ones that are making this problem seem worse, the ones that, by not eporting on the good stuff going on, ar gamers, because they never see the positive articles Seriously, I honestly hope this guy rele ecorded to the publi F---, as I read more about the whole Z.Q. thing, I end up caring I Z.Q. herself, and am getting more upset by the way these "journalists" are handling themselves. If these "journalists" were doing any actual journalism, and doing any real investigations, maybe some of them would have stumbled onto the fact that Z.Q. is a fraud, and NONE of this s--- would be happening right now. But no, no one decided to do any actual homework on this person, so instead, everything is just one giant cluster-f--- of a mess permalink er they talk about women in gaming. That we can rightfully ing the SJW crowed to ge n more mad at the industry and at names, publicati and any co ati that may have be s and less about the stuff directly pertaining to](https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/000/816/473/e27.png "TFYC story thickened....")

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.
