So then she needs professional help, not whining on twitter about a misunderstood reference.

Zoe Quinn thought it was a reference to Zoe Quinn.

I was under the assumption she always needed help. She always seemed like she was absolute nuts and played the victim when she herself made the horrible decisions leading to the outcome. Not that the outcome was justice or even fair but more of had everything to do with her own choices.

I hate twitter, I have an account but I never ever use it. I can’t think of anything to say that is less than 140 characters (or whatever). With that said I went to Zoe’s twitter yesterday when I saw this mentioned somewhere. Mainly to make sure that there were people reassuring her that this joke had absolutely…

It was already pointed out the “fun guys” thing was around before anyone ever heard of Zoe Quinn, and the localization team has no say in how many toads appear in the game.

I could definitely get behind a good gate-gate.

Well, it wasn’t too dated to name Gamergate after it. And if we’re going with the young demographic angle, what kid who’s into Mario is going to understand the whole Gamergate mess in the first place?

Look no further than the Twittersphere consisting of opinionated games media personalities and indie devs.

I looked through the trending tag on twitter the other day, a whole bunch of random people were laughing at GGers for thinking it had anything to do with the Watergate scandal. Zoe Quinn was the one making the…

Cannot believe some people thought this was a reference to zoe quinn

Seriously? Here is a list of over a hundred “gates”:

Ugh. People really need to STOP ADDING “GATE” TO SCANDALS. It was called “Watergate” because that was the name of the place. Nobody refers to the scandal as Watergate-gate...

and for the record “Watergate: Exposed” is an actual book written about the scandal.

You try being sensitive to MY feelings, Hitler.

Nope.

And the internet proves once again people are fucking stupid.

Good on them for explaining, but not apologizing (as some have called for). Clear, direct, and open, yet not acknowledging frivolous claims.

As I’ve said elsewhere:
