And for those of you wondering about Zoe Quinn:
She's a female "game developer" who made some really lame text games.
She had a boyfriend in gaming. She cheated on him and fucked like 5 other gamer dudes while with him.
The boyfriend found out and was understandably furious. To get back at her, he spread the rumor that she fucked the editor of a gaming review site to get good reviews on her game.
Turns out he made that part up, because this guy wasn't even the one reviewing her game.
Anyway, rather than blaming this on just a jilted ex who was pissed that she slutted around while with him, she rode the whole "Gamergate" wave, claiming that the criticism against her was because of rampant sexism in gaming. Basically, she was being attacked for being a woman, not for being a slut who cheated on her boyfriend with 5 other gamers.
In a long, rambling defense of accusations against her, she repeatedly addressed that she didn't fuck for better reviews, but never once denied that she fucked 5 different guys while with her bf.
So once again, yet another high profile victim of "sexism" in gaming turns out to be someone who either caused their own problems or took advantage of the victim spotlight (or in this case, both).
Since then, she's made all kinds of money selling her "story" in various ways, and now Amy Pascal is going to produce a movie about her.
Lord help us.
See Anita Sarkeesian and Brianna Wu for two other fake "victims" of Gamergate who have profited big time from their claims.
