  1. Yeah it's awesome.

    It makes a big difference from the mainlight shit that is making shit up and making her out to be a victim.

  3. can i get a short retelling of the intire thing? :p
  4. This is basically the story so far.

    Zoe Quinn is a game developer, and her boyfriend accused her of sleeping with various game industry folks to help promo one of her games. She instantly said she was being attacked because she is a woman and that anyone that criticizes her was a misogynist.

    All the SJW got together and tried banning any discussion of the controversy and accused gamers of being dirty rejects that are full of hate and can't stand others. REDDIT and 4CHAN among others deleted any threads/posts discussing the controversy.

    Rather than look into the relationship between game developers/reviewers the industry attacked gamers as intolerant angry white males. In reply, male/female gamers of all races/types started the #Notyourshield movement in an effort to show that many gamers were concerned with the lack of ethics in the gaming industry.

    Even now the majority of reporting focuses and how evil the gamer community (especially males) is and neglects the actual issue at hand.

    That's my best shot at giving a quick synopsis, although I left a lot out.

    A better summary is located at the link below. It's a quick read but really gets you up to speed.

    "Other" do mean "over"? Maybe but not really he and other youtube personalities are getting more of these "journalists'" audience everyday. I think he wants to still like them, that's why he continues to try.
