Subject: Zoe Quinn and the five guys; corruption in video game journalism
Just someone redlining the "Info" that will blow out gamergate.
Yeah. I literally tweet Quinn and asked the following question. Not to involve myself. But legitimaley asked "Why are you responding to them? You know this might harm your case."
The FBI Will NOT TOUCH IT, if they decide to do the crime investigation.

I understand that she's taking a lot of flak from people, but Jesus, Mary, and history's greatest Stepfather, Joseph does she come across as a real donkey cave about all of this. How about you quietly gather the evidence and then hand it over and mic drop that shrimp instead of sounding like a poor winner (if indeed she 'wins' this)

If you act like that she is probably on the losing front.
I have tweeted a few things and people have been rather supportive of a realitively new designer just saying. Okay everyone just calm the hell down.

If she hadn't given MundaneMatt a takedown notice there's a chance that this might not have gone anywhere. And the very notion that she held onto these logs and said nothing is just silly. Anyway, plenty of people have pointed out just how cherry picked these things are. She is hopeless and has no real relevance to the discussion and hasn't for weeks now.

Correct. She is only fueling the fire right now.

So she is the new Phil Fish?

She's always been phil fish in disguise.
Don't you see?
The whole thing is kind of funny really. She is not helping the situation for the 'professionals'.

She doesn't sound right in the head. In my experience, people this attention and drama seeking, are so manipulative, who cheat and lie in relationships, have mental issues. They want the world to revolve around them until it all falls apart.

Is that some slang I am not aware of? Because I can assure you I am a human, not a bird .

I don't a flying feth about Zoe Quinn and her imaginary terrorist, I'm much more concerned with REAL terrorists like ISIS and the gak storm they're creating in Iraq.
God, this woman is a complete narcissist.

Its also worth mentioning that silverstring media has edited their youtube and website after this started. Including the video where their CEO says they will do anything for money through "transmedia" (not a real term that they made up).
At this point mentioning the harassment while trying to make a point not about harassment would be detrimental and distracting from the point. Any mention of it will lead to hordes of comments about justification, whose right, whose wrong, etc. It's actually smarter not to mention that issue if you want to say something not directly related to it.
