So then apparently the only real ethical issue would be her having be a part of getting a feminist game canceled. Interesting. If true, I wonder how things got so blown out of proportion.
The only people that can be egged on by these two are mra troglodytes. The rest of us ignore them until they make them into a thing that can't be ignored.
As far as I've read she slept with her boss, is dating a kotaku.com writer AFTER he wrote one article where she was only a small part of it, cheated on her ex boyfriend and may have been responsible for getting a pretty neat feminist game project canceled. Of all that I only find the last one to be of some interest to…

yea, this all started when people began calling out zoe for creating fake controversy to promote her game. At this point the conversation has turned to unethical practices in game journalism due to sites like kotaku and gameasutra ignoring anything shady Ms. Quinn might have done, and rather lumped all gamers in as…
Yeah essentially Ms.Quinn got TFYC game jam cancelled by using her status saying that it was sexist etc which was a blatant lie. Then the next day she had her own game jam. Shady and terrible use of power that she 100% PROFITED from. I believe TFYC lost $10k from it over the long run as that tied into game…
Well... apparently zoe quin shut down their game jam because it was sexist? im just really having trouble believing that these guys are sexist.
This topic is unrelated to the above post and im sorry

It is true disagreeing does not keep you from being wrong. But it appears you have a rather odd sense of morals.
The moment it becomes really "wrong" in a moral sense is likely when your personal liberty trumps others. And I don't see that as the argument of the dissent at all here.
I see the dissent, often frothing,…
The article is so thin though.
The worst part is, the primary argument against banning violent video games was that games are an art for that can tell stories and communicate ideas. As opposed to toys.
My best guess is that it has something to do with all those years of people trying to ban violent video games leading people to associate any criticism of even specific kinds of violence in games with censorship. Like, the logic is "Feminists don't like it when women are abused in video games. Therefore, they would…
The problem I see is that there is a general vacuum of moderators, symbolically speaking, that controls the flow of discourse where actual reasoned arguments can flourish with politically charged topics in the games industry. Gaming doesn't have it's WSJ or NYT yet. It's a relatively young industry, where the…
I'm so, so, so confused as to the seeming ignorance of the gaming media here. Maybe it's because my main interest is politics that I have a certain detached view of this.
I've been following Kotaku for about six years now (have been commenting for five or so), and I've never seen anything so divisive as the current concern this article is referencing.
In the spirit of equity, I will say this:
The situation appears significantly overblown by both camps. An assault was alleged (and this…
I see this differently: No one can deny that "gamers" have become an incredibly sour and jaded consumer group, but rather than an illness, I see this development as a symptom—a symptom of an industry that has increasingly demonstrated zero respect for its consumers. On top of that, games media has abdicated their…
