Get over it, dudes.
Zoe Quinn has had it.
Yesterday, fed up with the equivocating bullshit that’s constantly being said in the media and within gaming circles about #GamerGate, and pissed off at all those who think of themselves as good people but still refuse to see the hatred and misogyny and harassment and doxxing that has been central to GG since the start, Quinn posted a series of (justifiably) angry tweets calling out the cowards in the profession who know that what’s going on is deeply evil but won’t say anything, and documenting the unending harassment she and her boyfriend, and her family, and his family are still getting.
Was that even a sentence? I don’t know. The point is she’s STILL getting harassed. She’s STILL getting “prank” calls. She’s STILL getting death threats. People are STILL digging around in her personal life and the personal life of everyone connected to her.
And she’s not the only one. The newest target of #GamerGate wrath? Indie game developer Brianna Wu, who, as I noted in my last post, got death threats … for posting memes on Twitter.
Meanwhile, two creepy obsessed assholes are still begging for money to make a documentary they hope will ruin Anita Sarkeesian.
Oh, but #GamerGate is about ethics.
I’m just going to paste in a bunch of Quinn’s Tweets here, because they pretty much speak for themselves.
I followed up on the IRC log here and here, but I wouldn’t have known about it if she hadn’t been there first collecting screenshots.
Take the time to enlarge the pics on these tweets:
And then there’s … this:
Also, she gets phone calls:
Oh, you don’t believe she gets phone calls? Ta da:
As the MRAs say: Always Be Recording. Except that Zoe Quinn actually has a good reason to do this.
It’s kind of amazing that Quinn manages to retain a sense of humor in the midst of all this.
Gamer inside joke!
