Fuck everyone involved in this story. Fucking morons. 

hard to muster even a tiny violin’s worth of sympathy for a guy who had 1.4 mil to burn on a video game character, for sure.

Yeah, fuck the frivalous rich. Meanwhile I can’t afford to buy a house and half of the people in the world can’t afford shoes

Fuck everyone involved in this story. Fucking morons.

I get to write about video games for a living, have cheap rent (thanks Kansas!) but also have fast internet because I live near Kansas City.

The irony of the profile pic is delicious.

I think the biggest hilarity of your comment comes from actively shaming women and treating them like children (‘treasure chests’? Have you even held a hand before?), while having an avatar of a woman almost entirely naked that is entirely a oversexualization of a male character made female.

This is the cringiest thing I have read in the comments, I think I need a shower to wash off the stench of bigoted bullshit that is waffling off of this.

Edit: actually, let me try to be nicer

@Krafty, see we could have had a conversation. Because there are plenty of counters to your argument. But then you had to immediately go toxic.

Have a nice day, bud.

How fucking hard is it not to say this stuff? Grown-ass adults on the internet still calling people “faggot,” “retarded,” “autistic,” “or worse. I get it if you’re 13 and still don’t know any better, or you’re in your stupid edgy teenager phase. But you’re not. Grow the fuck up.

Well Said.

Trolls have been out in force since the news broke yesterday attempting to milk a universal tragedy into a weapon. It’s not a tragedy to them, it’s the newest weapon to try and discredit all women and defang any future accusation. 

My condolences to the family and those affected. If you are suffering thoughts of suicide, please reach out to someone near you or national hotlines.

Zoe Quinn did not kill Alec Holowka. Substantiated allegations of abuse which continued into this very summer did not kill Alec Holowka. It is very hard to know what to do with tragedies like this one when he was both victim and victimizer. What we must not do is erase the very real harm he caused many women, no…

What a terrible situation all around. Just heartbreaking to read about and I haven’t even played the game (been sitting in my backlog for months)

I’m already seeing the comments, so let’s be clear about something here:

“Cancel Culture” did not kill Alec Holowka. We don’t yet have the full picture of how he died, but it sounds as if he died by suicide, and had been suffering from a host of psychological and personal difficulties prior to that final, tragic act.

No…

As with all things sensitive like this, avoid the greys. People will use any event to spread their abuse and hate, even something like this. Ignore them.

The most pathetic thing to me is that those hundreds of comments whining about “SJW’s” and other such dismissive pejoratives don’t understand that the feeling they’re experiencing is called BEING OFFENDED.

They are absolutely going to make a “Ultimate TRIGGERED edition” of this game next year like the complete spineless dipshits they are. Im glad this irrelevant company has a super 90's way of thinking, in line with the last time they made a game anyone cared about.
