Female game dev Zoe Quinn sleeps her way to the top: scandal

[Ifreann]

To the people defending Zoe Quinn, if you could kindly pull your head out of your ass it would greatly improve your perception of the situation

I don't care if Zoe used money, an offer of a beach vacation or sex to sway the opinion of games journalists, its wrong. Thats what people are taking issue with, its the fact that she uses backdoor shady ways of gaining good press and favour with games journalists while also acting like a massive hypocrite

Is this not par for the course for games journalism, though? Favourable reviews getting bought and sold?

[Geilinor]

He's pointing out that this is so irrelevant, it hurts.

It's irrelevant because you don't want it to be? Or because you don't play video games and don't have an interest in the industry and are simply defending Zoe because your SJW senses were tingling?

This alleged revelation is from her former boyfriend, he isn't a reliable source.

Because we aren't misogynists.

[Scomagia]

Well the vagina is a highly hypnotic organ.

What if you're gay?

*Shrugs*

It's irrelevant because it isn't mine, nor your business, who some woman fucks.

[Cyrisnia]

What if you're gay?

*Shrugs*

If you're gay (depending on your gender) the vaginas either really good or really "eh".

What other conclusion is there to draw about people who take the words of an angry ex as fact?

Well, I suppose there might be some people who don't like her game...

Because I'm criticizing a woman who f*cked her way to the top? If anyone wants to bring out instances of men doing the same, kindly go ahead. I'll criticize them just the same. But no one will, because no one would want to admit they took it up the butt to gain influence.

[Lordieth]

Her reputation has just taken a massive hit. What more do you want? She hasn't broken any laws. Immoral? Yes. But it's not like she's the first or last person to step on people on the way up the ladder. The only reason we rarely hear about it happening to men is because it's such a male-dominated industry, and you can't tell me there aren't men who wouldn't jump at the chance to sleep their way to success.

[Grand Russian Federation]

The difference is that she was the one who initiated the contact. The journalists' careers are ruined because of their association with her, and the gaming worlds' trust in game journalism was demolished literally overnight - let's focus on that!

Its not like anyone trusted video games journalism anyway. Nor for that matter is there any evidence that she traded sex for reviews. so yeah:

"Woman who likes video games sleeps with men who like video games".

Yep, you summed it up.

I never trust most video game journalists. TotalBiscuit, I can trust, from what I've seen, he doesn't take cash. Then you've got things like the 60 something score for Metro 2033, obvious that guy wasn't paid off.

People are naturally corrupted inside, whether they show it or not.

[Rocopurr]

I love when situations like this occur and people completely forget about the man involved. If you think what she did was wrong you should think what her partners did was wrong as well.

No one will, because no one cares.

Because you believe that she did so without any actual proof. You are believing a man over a woman even though there is no objective proof to his claims.

She didn't make a good game that's free to play. People who say the industry is corrupt, cry me a fucking river, you'll still play video games no matter the cost because the best of the, represent beautiful works of art. One little scandal over a f2p medicore game won't change that.

[Couasia]

No one will, because no one cares.

> implies that everyone even remotely involved with gaming is a rabid, foaming-at-the-mouth, ultra-conservative misogynist who believes women should get back in the kitchen and deliver more babies

[Spoder]

Was Zoe Quinn even hot?

[Bazrasha]

Everyone involved should be ashamed. Takes two to fuck it's not just this Zoe girl in the wrong it's everybody whom engaged in sex with her.

[The Serbian Empire]

I have made a video on this topic, but I have no desire to show it to NSG.

Look at how Reddit and 4chan have suddenly agree with each other. Something here is certainly rotten here.

[Ifreann]

> implies me and every other critic of Zoe Quinn is a "misogynist"

Well you're all collectively flipping your shit over a woman being accused of sexual impropriety in an industry that everyone seems to agree was already riddled with corruption.

[Kelinfort]

Was Zoe Quinn even hot?

Now we're asking the deep questions

[MERIZoC]

No one will, because no one cares.

lol wut?

S-s-someone having a differing opinion than mine? MUST RESORT TO IIIIINNNNNSULLLTS!

Here's something shocking:

It's also the fault of the men, for, you know, being SUCKED IN by her. You didn't want your reputation to fly off the bookcase? Then don't submit to her!
