Not so much.


Wow those numbers are staggeringly high.

Hahahaha
Damn.

The entire thing has gotten pretty big.

Though none of my friends have talked about it.

I think its hilarious what is going on. She is being shown to be quite a fool.

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."

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.

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'.

So she is an Attention hogger basically?

I mean it seems like she is trying to grab attention to herself. WHICH IS NOT UNIQUE.

She has done this before.

But I literally have stopped caring about her.

The corruption in journalism is pretty well seen.

From the mountain dew debacle.

To all the attacks on gamers.

To them writing all these articles about how the gamer identity is dying.

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 .

Well when Zoe comes across some actual terrorists (as opposed to home-made straw terrorists), she can proudly not negotiate with them.

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.

Pretty much she is doing the same thing as she did with Wizard chan, she is pulling an Anita and playing the victim to get money for whatever reason.

If anything my GF has expressed interest in going to San Fran to bottle her in the face, for giving girls in gaming a bad name.

I think its funny that she is trying to make it about her. And you know. Not addressing the elephant in the room.

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).

Interesting both very well written

I am surprised they didn't mention the harassment on both sides though

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.
