[QUOTE=Jimesu_Evil;47645250]It was reported to police, but after investigation they deemed the threat to not be credible. She chose to cancel the speech anyway because what a story.[/QUOTE]
It's weird. The police deemed the threat against Anita not to be credible, and she cancels anyway. The threat against the GG meetup was deemed credible enough for the police to come and evacuate the scene, and the party still went on (although a bit slowed down until the police gave the all-clear). It really paints a portrait of exactly what kind of people they are.

Well I would say some people in both sides of GG are doing a pretty good job at that.
I'm more wondering why people are focusing on gaming "journalism" and not how shitty all journalism is at this point. Focusing on one TINY aspect of journalism as a whole won't fix it.

Because it's already hard enough to focus on a tiny aspect, the whole journalism is huge, its like taking down the government.

Because how do you change Time Magazine if you can't even fuck with a bunch of bloggers like Kotaku?
Scope and scale. Don't try and do something too large for your boat. We're not going to take down time becasue again, we're "Gamers" and we're considered by society to be just about worthless, violent, hateful, and all simultaneously 30 years old and 13 years old. We don't really have a hope in hell of fixing traditional journalism, we do have a chance to at least get our own brand of journalism under some kind of control.

Simple,
Gotta start somewhere,
And why not start with something that's been busy ruining one of your hobbies/interests and see what works and what doesn't at stopping shitty journalistic behavior and buddy-buddy circlejerking between blogging tier journalists and gamedevs who's pretending to represent the indie scene, but focusing on lining their own wallet instead?

Look at this shitstorm looking at just one tiny aspect of journalism has wrought, now imagine it thousandfold.
[QUOTE=UnidentifiedFlyingTard;47645386]No point, people have proven in the past that her ex was a psycho who lied, but GG'rs on this website don't give a shit about the truth.
That's just my perspective anyway, I don't give a shit what you all do with your free time.[/QUOTE]
I just wanna get back to this because I think abuse is pretty serious business.
Can you show where it was proven that he was the abuser? Even in the chat logs of theirs that Zoe herself disclosed of those events, she certainly is the most abusive one.

If this is about Eron, then this never actually happened.
Also, a guy's bitter because he was cheated on with 5 different people and regularly abused, speaks out, and somehow, he's the psycho? lol

Because if you do end up fixing gaming journalism (if that is even possible), Journalism as a whole wont even notice.
You need to set your sights higher, not easier.

Moving the goal posts.
And you never gave us the sources that her ex, if you're referring to Eron, is a psycho.

So, you care about fixing journalism, but you wouldn't dare associate with those darn dirty mysoginist GGer's, eh?
Go ahead, try and fix time magazine, try and fix the media. It's more fucked than it has ever been.
I think Tard's just annoyed and jealous that GG was right and a bunch of sites fixed their ethics policies as well as took a large hit in revenue.

Wow you got me, I had no idea i was jealous of a bunch of gamers on the internet.

We'll get to it once we've fixed this.
I'm just waiting for a trigger. GG was a lucky perfect storm, all the shit they pulled in the first months assured it would stick around forever.
You actually need the sex scandal or something else to hook a viewer with and make them read, to keep people coming in.

That comes straight from the abusers mouth, that is not a verifiable source as any abuser would spin the story in their favor.

That is about as one sided as it gets.
What's the point of trying to kill gamers? GAMERS ARE DEAD
Yeah I'm done, obviously I'm a fucking idiot .

Wow, what a mature and measured response that a rational and calm person would totally have! This is how adults in the real world act!
Just think about it for like, 10 seconds. Do you ask the person accused of being an abuser and a manipulator if they did and take them on their word?
someone get reimu in here

We're not saying that, what we are saying is you're making pressumptions and truths based upon someone whose been shown to historically lie constantly as presented by a facepuncher, who is also a journalist, Reimu.
Reimu actually got in contact with former associates, co-workers and the like who've stated that Zoe and Maya both show abusive personality traits. This on the back of the Zoepost which has logs in both a video and image format directly shows her abuse tendencies as further outlined by Reimu's video series examining the zoepost logs.
[editline]2nd May 2015[/editline]
Basically, you have one that's full of evidence, and the other that's from the abusers mouth, which is hearsay.

defending zoe quinn's abuse is vile

people just don't want other people to support a known, and outed abuser like Quinn.
Reimu, or Phillips work on this subject has been stellar, and needs far more attention.
Quick question, assuming that she did indeed sleep around to garner favour for her game, why is she still relevant?
