Depression Quest

[Classic]

I'm telling you that you're misunderstanding what people are trying to tell you because you're too pepper hot under the collar and wrapping what's being said to you in some other hang-ups.
Specifically, I'm talking about these objections:

Oh, cool. We've moved on to the meta-game portion now, my favorite part

You are missing the point.

Also:
That an alleged Doxxing didn't turn up accurate evidence doesn't, in any way, mean that it's not a "real" doxxing attempt.

DN feels very passionately about the right of misogynist assholes to harass women, it seems. Or at least this particular woman. Which is understandable. She is literally worse than Hitler, after all.

She claims her tumblr was hacked, but all the supposed 'hackers' did was write dick-ish messages. They didn't even post child porn or gore or mess with the layout. Also tumblr has protocols so that if multiple people attempt to log into one account at the same time it would log them out.

She fucking faked it, dude.

[Thad]

I'm torn between a desire to say "Guys, please be nice" and a desire to slowly back away and let the admins handle it.

So I guess I'll do both.

Do you actually have anything or is this all you've got left to rely on

jesus fuck

[TedBelmont]

So because her account didn't get hacked HARDCORE STYLE, she's obviously lying.

Well there was the part where you tried to justify doxing and harassment because they were against someone you didn't like.

And the part where you claimed Quinn has set women in the games industry back, while ignoring the part the men involved with her played.

Oh, and the part where you talked about ~corruption~ in the Activision Presents Video Games Journalism Brought to you by Mountain Dew Baja Blast Industry.

I dunno, there's just so much to choose from!

do you honestly think 4chan, the supposed hackers, wouldn't post child porn or gore if they got a hold of her account information?

wait what when?

They're scum, too, don't get me wrong. And that hurts to say, because one of them worked on Aquaria and I love that game. But the level of their culpability is questionable right now, whereas we've got a pretty decent idea of what Zoe Quinn's is at the moment. As for setting women back, she's in a male-dominated field. Women entering the industry from this point forward are going to have to fight even harder against this stereotype. And, yeah, it won't be entirely Zoe Quinn's fault, but also that of the sexist shitbags who would judge all women for the actions of just one. Zoe Quinn is just at fault for justifying their shitty fucking attitudes to the letter.

Geoff Keighley didn't die for our sins for this.

All these married men sleeping with their female employees are the very reason men in positions of power are treated with trepidation. They are the living validation of negative stereotypes. They have single-handedly and irreparably damaged the reputation of every single man that they've had a professional relationship with, and of every single man who has leapt to their defense.

fun fact: i actually got that talking point from a female blogger hoping to get into the video game industry who feels she has to work harder from now on because of this whole ordeal

who's the sexist one now

[TedBelmont]

Lmao I can't tell if you're being serious or sarcastic

Edit: that was in reference to Patito, but it works for DN too I guess

Shorter version: "see I have a female friend so I can't possibly be sexist"

[Brantly B.]

Everyone in this scenario has gotten exactly what they wanted, including me.

For my money the only administrative action I suggest is splitting this discussion off into a Depression Quest thread. I'd do it myself, but phone.

[patito]

Ted: I'm just poking the beehive, don't mind me.

no see it's more like I straight up stole her argument to make myself look better.

[patito]

That sure worked pretty well for you, eh.

[Disposable Ninja]

Apparently. All that I'm getting is, like, ad hominem references that I clearly just hate women because I think Zoe Quinn is a deplorable person. Is this what it feels like to win an Internet argument?

It feels hollow.

[Smiler]

This is also how you won in Talking Time, right?

[Disposable Ninja]

Have I been banned for having a dissenting opinion?

UPDATE: Nope! Looks like I can still post. yaaaay

Well, you did literally just admit to judging a woman because of how much sex she's had, so if that's what you call winning, sure.
