I haven't followed this crap at all, but I did just read this article written by Quinn, explaining what happened. Sounds like a bunch of manchildren being little bitches more than anything.
You really expect her to give an unbiased account?
The article likes to paint Quinn as some kind of hero or martyr for standing up to "misogynistic gamers" but makes no mention anywhere of the fact that she torpedoed a women's gaming charity because she didn't like them, or of the fact that these supposedly misogynistic 4chan users donated thousands of dollars to the same organization to repair the damage that Zoe Quinn did to them. Zoe Quinn is not a victim of misogyny, she is someone who got caught doing something wrong and cried misogyny to protect herself. Unfortunately, sites like Cracked seemed to do no research beyond the sexism angle that Quinn likes to claim. They show misogynistic tweets from GamerGate advocates that are supposed to prove that the entire movement is hateful (though there are far more tweets, such as #notyourshield, that would show that the movement is more concerned with Quinn's actions than her gender) yet don't show the abusive and bigoted tweets that her supporters have sent out, such as one that told a woman that she had a "cavernous" vagina when she criticized Quinn on Twitter. Very disappointed that Cracked ran this with no consideration whatsoever toward the truth.
All she's doing is distracting from the actual issues and simultaneously making it more difficult for
real victims of misogyny.
Zoe Quinn is not a modern-day Joan of Arc. Does she deserve harassment? No. However, criticizing what she did is neither harassment nor misogyny. And if she can't handle this, that says more about her than it does about GamerGate.
