She starting banging the guy who became her boss before she was hired, and continued it after she was hired. Take a fucking guess.

In advance of any trilby-wearing e-sleuths, allow me to save you some time — yes, that means she was having sex with Josh Boggs right before he hired her. No, that doesn’t mean anyone’s going to risk their game’s success on an unqualified narrative designer for side benefits. Zoe is in fact a pretty solid narrative designer.

Yeah, "whore" is a pretty gross and misogynistic word to be throwing around, even if you consider it a factually accurate statement to say that she exchanged sex for some form of compensation.
The word's got a lot of pretty horrible baggage and implications associated with it; I don't think you're invoking that stuff intentionally but I'd still recommend finding another way to criticize Quinn's actions.

It's the timeline from the ex's point of view.

I mean, you might empathize with any one of the protagonists/antagonists, you might decry the broader situation, but the response from some quarters sure has been out of proportion to, well... anything about this story, really. I mean, the barebones is that a noted video game developer with a significant fan base may or may not have slept with several people to further her career. That's... really small potatoes.
To be absolutely clear, I'm not saying that depression isn't a personal thing, or to dismiss the opinion of a board member who might feel important personal connections to Depression Quest (which - whatever personal issues the creator might have had - is a good thing that should have been made). It's just that watching the brouhaha about Zoe Quinn's personal life feels the same to me as watching Twilight fans talking about Kristen Stewart sleeping with Rupert Sanders; it's tabloid stuff dressed up as news.
I suppose that people's personal lives bleeding into their public lives is something that the internet enables. Is that good? Is it bad? If I say I don't like it in most cases, maybe that just makes me sound old?

The children at /r/gaming deciding he must have been in cahoots with Zoe Quinn are hilarious and all, but if you want to see a transparent explanation of mod behavior from the event, go read the mod post on /r/games.
I realize too late that you're just spouting the reddit misogyny crew's talking points without actually having any adult insight into the situation; this should have been obvious when you started spewing your textual diarrhea all over this without actually reading the blog post that began this whole ordeal.
I hope I get to read all your wonderful ideas about Anita Sarkeesian soon.

EDIT: and if you're really wondering where I got the idea you didn't read everything you've been posting about, it's about a page up, where you say you didn't read the whole thing, just the TL;DR, then later go on to read the whole thing.
And the /r/pcmasterrace mod who talked about things being deleted that shouldn't have was another (/r/pcmasterrace) mod doing the same damage control as other mods in other subreddits, but accidentally hitting a thread the first mod invited the creation of as a sort cesspool to keep the excess from flooding out. But reading posts is hard.
