http://thezoepost.wordpress.com/

to quickly sum shit up, a female indie developer cheated on her boyfriend with 5 guys related to games journalisim and now everyone is starting to realize western games journalisim is all one big hugbox who pat each other on the back. To note, one of these guys is a head at kotaku (can't remember this shit). I'd just like to know this forums thoughts I guess.

I guess some people actually DO get laid by whiteknighting for tumblr SJWs on the internet. Now Phil Fish is defending her on twitter after months of silence hoping he can get a piece of that ass as well.

I think a guy was actually calling those leaked numbers, said most of them was on voicemail/answering machine. I still think this shit is fucked up, but i hope it causes some damage to the practice of games journalisim.

Pretty much nobody smart who actually plays a lot of vidya trusts gaming ”journalists” anymore, and those who still blindly trust them probably won't even hear about this since no sites will actually report on this. Still, hopefully it will make some people see how pathetic a lot of these shills really are.

most game journalists are slimy fuckers anyway

Response to games journalisim BTFO 2014-08-18 16:23:53


It's times like this I'm glad I find tumblrettes and dyed hair vile to begin with.

I don't think this really matters though. Anyone who's into gaming enough to read about them often surely realizes how worthless games journalism currently is.

I actually used to defend Depression Quest, despite it being pretty shit and the title being unintentionally hilarious to me, I feel pretty strongly about the subject matter and I'm all for artistic ways to illustrate depression to a "normal" person. But god damn, what a cunt. She pretty much deserved all the hate she got. The boyfriend really let himself get walked on.

That's a pretty damming video, but now I'm pretty much just sick of the entire game journalism industry, tear it all down.

I've never been a big fan of game journalists to begin with, as they are either proverbial fish out of water or have a horrendous amounts of bias that cloud their judgements, and that simply bleeds out to others that do read them often. Frankly, because of the reasons that I (and everyone else) have mentioned that game journalism is a toxic environment that drags the video game industry down.


Just stop worrying, and love the bomb.

Now she's pretending she got doxxed by ”a hacker from V” and they're calling her family. Now, where do those numbers that were posted belong to? If you guessed her or people she knows, you'd be wrong. ”Her” and ”her dad”s numbers actually belong to a gas station and a motorcycle shop in Hawaii. She's also trying to call the internet archive to get them to remove stuff. How much more desperate can she get?

Turns out she did a porn photoshoot. Here it is. Obviously NSFW
She's also in bed with a reddit mod I guess, because they're deleting any discussion about it. Gotta hand it to her, she's a master manipulator. She's even somehow getting hosts to take down entire websites unless they agree to take down any articles about her. Really don't even know how she does it.

I've always taken game journalists' opinions with a grain of salt. I also don't look too kindly upon indie developers. When they do shit like this they're just asking to be humiliated.

Holy shit, she actually did it. She got GamesNosh completely erased from the internet archive like it was never even there because they reported the truth. I saved a screencap of it from when it was up, if you're curious what it said.

Hey, gamesnosh is back. Guess they dealt with hours of bullshit and managed to be un-blacklisted. No idea what lies she told to get them to blacklist it in the first place. Probably said they were terrorists or something.

Checking the twitter feed, seems the site suddenly underwent heavy load from so many people trying to read it at once.

It was gone from the internet archive too, though. Also saw a screencap of a tweet earlier saying that they were on the phone trying to get ”whitelisted” again.

I'll post what I posted on the other thread.

Honestly, having been accused of harassment due to not understanding certain cues, I don't know what to think. I sympathize with the ex, I know what it's like to be totally enamored with someone and then find out a lot of it, if not all of it, was a lie. I sympathize with Zoe. I laugh at Phil Fish's meltdown. But the whole situation is pretty fucked. I mean, to be completely honest, in the end it won't matter at all. No one's core values will have changed, no closure will be gained; no causes will be validated or invalidated. Do I think Zoe faked the attack against herself? Probably. Did she fake the twitter harassment? Not at all. Did she fake all the misogynistic messages she received? Really doubt she faked even one. Just because she might not be the best figurehead, because she's a person, with foibles and problems; doesn't mean her cause is any less important. Just because her cause is important, doesn't make me believe that the ex's pain is any less real or valid. It's just a fucked situation made more fucked by the internet.

So what? Some trollop banged a bunch of guys to help her career. The only real amusing part is watching people use this as an excuse to connect dots that aren't there about how the entirety games journalism is a comprised entirely of people embroiled in a giant hypocritical circle jerk (literally and figuratively) of SJW issues all masterminded by Zoe Quinn.

I think gaming sites aren't posting about this because no one gives a shit about the soap opera drama of it and not because Zoe's fucked an industry's mouth shut.
