![Un-untitled an open letter to zoe quinn from that girl you hate to hate negatorv dear zoe quinn, this isn't industry-related, or if it is, it's marketing advice from some f----- who got laid off because she's too sick to function. I don't care about gaming, game dev, or games journalism, and my only political opinion on what has happened to you recently reflects on all women in audience- reliant fields. you don't deserve the harassment, doxing, and flagrant misogyny you've received. women in exposure-dependent fields are disproportionately targeted for the s--- they do because the rest of the goddamn world still assumes we're some kind of monolithic hive mind and can't understand that we're, like, people, and we make individual decisions. societal pressure is great. but anyway, this is personal. basically, seriously, zoe, I am your f------ target market. Iam a bisexual woman with weird hair and a handful of mental and physical diagnoses that have (thus far) kept me from taking over the world. I am a feminist and an abuse survivor. I am intimately familiar with PTSD, mental illness sexism, and harassment within my field. (my field. I'm not in it anymore. guess why. oh wait, you won't have to, because -) you know all of this s--- because you were all over my tumblr starting early june and not ending til mid-july. and yet: Zoë Quinn and blah blah you tell me she's a good person and s--- great maybe for you 무 7/9, 4:41 pm want to talk about solidarity? Zoë Quinn And now I DETEST a girl Ive never met and I didnt know I had that in me and its not right of me 79, 6:28pm want to talk women in geek fields? want to connect with a member of your target audience? Zoë Quinn but know I resent the everliving f--- out offor this and that will likely never change because, again, this is a f----- up thing to have to deal with from 무 7/9, 4:40pm . some a------ Ive never met nah, you just wanna spew vitriol about a woman you've never met and make sure she never goes near your precious boyfriend. who, it turns out, were willfully endangering [items 10, 11, 20]. is all. She wouldn't bang ne Zoë Qulnn yeah excuse me if don't trust her at all on that whatsoever Eron Gloni PTSD 무 7/9, 4:19pm 口79, 4:19pm you are not excused. you do not speak for me. you do not mangle my story to suit your purposes. you do not redefine and reduce and screw with my life to get what you want. you do not get away with f------ up my friends and insulting me deal with your s---. and, for future reference, don't alienate your target audience sincerely rachel (S", green line, and other sobriquets) This is my friend Rachel(S from the logs). And she has something to say Reblogged 1 hour ago from negatOry (originally from negatOry) 33 notes](https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/newsfeed/000/818/804/493.png "A Girl From Zoe's Past")

![I knew Zoe Quinn. (self.Drama) submitted 14 hours ago by [deleted] 1 I met Zoe about 2 1/2 years ago. I had a friend who wanted to date her, and he wanted my opinion of her. After spending some time getting to know her, she seemed really cool. She had big ideas and was extremely passionate. She even mirrored my opinions. You need to know that she's a chameleon. She's charming and can adapt to any environment. It's easy to trust her. This is all relevant to make you understand why people stand up for her. She makes everything she says seem genuine After I told my friend that she was cool and dateable and they started dating, things changed. Suddenly, she was using details from my life story, things that explain why I am who I am, in stories she was telling me. It was then I started to doubt the validity of other things she said (none of which I will share because that is not my place). As I started piecing together stories she told me over the time I knew her, things started not adding up. There were inconsistencies, and I started casually asking her about things when they didn't make sense with the narrative she had previously given This is when she started arguing the most minor things with me, which I assume was to try to discredit the questions I was asking. It also became obvious that she was trying to separate my friend from us (There were more people involved than just me, but I'm one of the only ones willing to risk this and deal with the fallout.) because she'd drag him into the arguments. Who's not going to side with their new So? She also started sharing extreme feminist ideas, which basically tore down men One day, I received an email asking what my problem with Zoe was. When I described the things she did, such as stealing bits of my identity (which I believe I just called lying and didn't get into details) and creating discord between us, my friend didn't see things my way. I even pointed out then that she is the type of feminist who uses feminism to get ahead and for hate. Instead of reading the words I used and the points I made, the response I received was only thatI hate her because she's a feminist. (FYI, I'm a feminist who knows that men are our allies and we need to work together.) I recognized the lying and manipulation pretty quickly (maybe 6-8 weeks in), so I don't have a more exciting or compelling story. Ever since then, I've had to sit silently and watch her be lauded for her strong principles and social activism. Anyone I told about her behavior, even if she had screwed them in some way, excused it mostly out of fear of losing a contact or a friend who happened to be friends with her. I don't care about her being punished or losing her status as a dev. It's not about that for me. It's about recognizing a hurtful person and that person learning and stopping it. I don't want people to harass her. I don't want people to harass her friends. I just want all the abusive behavior (from all parties) to end 1 COMMENT SOURCE SAVE HIDE GIVE GOLD REPORT HIDE ALL CHILD COMMENTS](https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/newsfeed/000/818/656/03e.png "Another Zoe Acquaintance Comes Out")
