I made Gaming Illuminati jokes before but seriously? Is this really real?
Shit's pretty normal I'd say. Gaming journalism, like most other things, is subject to corruption and bias.
Why are gaming journalists still trying to legitimize working in such a joke of a field
"This corruption and collusion slant is bullshit" they said, as they talked on their secret mailing list on how to make it all about Zoe.

I've seriously noticed this. Even unrelated sites like Cracked have been running a lot of stuff from Quinn about how it's all a secret plot to slander her name. Damage control is in full effect.
burn it all down
Breaking news: a set of websites you shouldn't have been reading to begin with because their business model does not require their information be sound have been confirmed to have bad information.
In other news, sky blue, water wet.
pls let shit actually get done about this

They even have a "5 things i learned as the Internets most hated person" article [B][U]that she put on there[/U][/B]

I was actually pretty surprised that ArsTechnica put out articles about the whole ordeal. My biggest problem wasn't that it was one sided, it was that they put one out there at all - ArsTechnica's focus shouldn't lie on drama at all.
The only time I will ever agree with a Breitbart article.

The best part is that the only reason I even give half a fuck about her is because I'm tired of all the feminist knights in shining armor atop their high horse attempting to strike me down in hatred and anger because I offhandedly called her a bitch.
Gaming journalism is a joke and will always be a joke.

Pretty sure this happened before it got posted so wouldn't be so sure that it's connected.
Is it too late to buy my "Gaming's Feminist Illuminati" shirt?

That happens on occasion.

WE NEED TO GO DEEPER
what disgusts me about all this is that the #gamergate movement on 4chan and here and many other major places have been going to a lot of lengths to try to drop all association with zoe and focus on different issues, actively calling out and reporting people who want to harass her or make the issue about her and telling them to shut up and fuck off, and she responds by [i]personally writing an article about how the entire issue revolves around her[/i] and posting it to a popular website.
for someone who claims to be sick of the harassment and attention, she sure is going out of her fucking way to draw a lot of attention to herself instead of letting things blow over.
You've got to be fucking kidding me. Seriously? A game journalism Illuminati? I hate this fucking shit.
I wish people would stop giving enough of a shit about gaming journalism to actually ignore it
majority of the attention and views they get are from people who are pissed off and only go there to get angry about how much they dislike it
i seriously just want to play video games and if i want a review or a reccomendation i go ask somebody or watch a reviewer i trust or something, these journalism industries only gain the power you give them
How far gone from reality are you people when you start taking fucking breitbart.com as a valid source? Than man was a notorious liar and, in his stead, his website has kept up the tradition.
