Glad you prefaced this with "conservative", just like Polygon did. Nice attempt to shape the narrative right off the bat, especially considering folks reading this site are more likely to be socially liberal and therefor have a huge set of preconceived notions about her from the conservative label. Especially…

Say what you want about her opinions, but this is spot on:

Funny, when it's the publisher of the latest "Larry" game and a 2 year old crime, Kotaku is all over it. When it's one of their reporters... Not so much.

The first I'd heard of Zoe Quinn was Nathan Grayson's piece on the "Game Jam". Go back and re-read it. She is portrayed as the nicest person in the room.

Well, here's an imgur. People immediately dismiss it, but since Hernandez's twitter is currently locked - I wonder why - this is the best I can do. http://imgur.com/5EqdfE5

Did you guys not publish an article about Temkin and his situation though? Where you actually critized him for defending himself to much?

Except that a card game developer's ex-gf from years ago posted on facebook a rape allegation and Patricia Hernandez not only chastised the developer for trying to address those allegations, but also sided against him based on statistical analysis... and neither of those individuals are public figures in the video…

Literally every Metroid game has rewarded speedy players with a more revealing look at Samus in a bikini after the closing credits.

Yeah cause Ripley couldn't have whooped your ass at the end of alien in her paintes. Women can't be sexy and powerful at the same time to you people. Powerful and strong means dressing modestly. Got it.

That's not a gif. That's a webcam of me reading the kickstarter description on this internet computer im sitting at.

Don't even try to play it off like that.

The Sims 4; Pool Stuff Expansion Pack

Kotaku: "OMG women are so underrepresented. It's so sexist and horrible"

//Disney creates female Thor

Kotaku: "LOL Thor is a Disney princess. LOL"

Technically Akira is now Shakira

And fire her.

"I think better expresses the piece's original intent"

I'll be honest with you Stephen, if this is where Kotaku is going, I'm not onboard. They say "never talk politics or religion at the dinner table". i come here for enjoyment, not a social agenda.

She criticized him for defending himself. There is no miscommunication there, that is a fact. How can you defend yourself too much from a rape accusation that is baseless and has no evidence? An accusation that could ruin his career, and he's defending himself too much? That isn't a miscommunication, that's BS is what…

I'm still wondering why exactly this belongs on Kotaku.

The missus smacked me around a bit for the 3rd time in our 17 year marriage -i never even raised a finger -ever!
