Haha, that’s actually quite funny. Some of them do have a sense of humour after all....

Can you tweet that we dont speak on behalf of ResetEra so we cant answer that question

 

[Hypereides]

I don't mind being the only rational person in the room, but it's a little disconcerting to see all this cult-like behavior on social media lately.

"Little".

Its genuinely alarming. These people are brushing aside rational and logical thinking in favor of radical and impulsive behavior.

Oh and as far as treading carefully goes: I don't think many people know that Zoe's likely BPD. That's kinda lumped in with all the harassment she's received as being another ploy by MRA's or gamergators or the alt-right to discredit her.

lmao jesus fucking christ. write another novella length post trying to defend her. i think that will finally get her to fuck you. zoe quinn is a piece of shit end of story.

 

[StreetsofBeige]

This is why I deleted all of my social media, especially the hate-platform Twitter.

Nothing but a bunch of screeching assholes, who's opinions are usually found on a scale between vomit and shit.

No Twitter. No Facebook. No social media that ties back to me.

Their power relies on the mob. Step outside of that crowd and they are powerless. In fact, they won't even know you exist.

I've got a Linked In for jobs and colleagues, and a Facebook for friends and fam and close coworkers. That's it.

Linked In for scoping jobs, FB for occasional photo uploads. Past 5 years have been a trainwreck for Linked In as people are treating it like FB v2. All these personal blogs and people liking and high-fiving each other's articles. I even see Happy Birthday messages on the feed. WTF.

Don't get me wrong, I love reading stupid shit on Twitter people re-post (like Trump), but don't care for having my own. Or Instagram, Pinterest or any other ones out there. I love surfing the net, but I don't see how anyone can keep up with updating a million social media sites so often.

Is there a great irony to the people complaining that Zoe’s sex life was not pertinent public information five years ago who are now pushing said sex life as important public information today...?

 

[Scopa]

Look I'm trying to be as charitable as possible because I kinda want people from the other side to finally open their eyes to this.

The intelligent people, the open-minded free-thinkers already know. The ones that refuse to look at reality are the dumb-as-fuck, brainwashed oxygen wasters. There is no hope for them. They are too stupid.

That’s the way it is.

Any stance goes, as long as that frames her as a victim.

[Paracelsus]

Oh come on how is that defending her. Look I'm trying to be as charitable as possible because I kinda want people from the other side to finally open their eyes to this. Because the problem with the initial scandal around her that eventually evolved into gamergate is that 4channers were calling her a whore and a slut and hey, they did find her nudes within hours and trolled her Wikipedia page. This caused a lot of people to just shut it all out and assume that everything that was happening was sexist bullshit. Just like the media were saying, just like she was saying.

Plus how is that defending her at all? I'm implying she has BPD and is probably lying about sexual abuse to the entire world causing some guy to get fired for something he likely didn't do. Shit, I've implied everything about her is a lie, down to her goddamn name and birthday. Well, more than imply I think I showed fairly accurate proof of that fact.

But I kinda love your avatar.

It's not about believing, because they don't believe it themselves, it's about presenting it as truth to get goods or services.
I told you, wait until they're out the business, and then crack the champagne. Now that they made up another scandal, here's 5 more years of feminist seminars with mentally disabled people attending and funding their pensions.
They're probably the biggest shysters in the history of gaming, and they don't even belong close to gaming to begin with.

If anyone ever doubts that wikipedia has been far left propaganda for years, link them that article

You can go there, register, engage in edit wars.
It's not Left's fault if US Right are not doing that.

And they are liberal, because?
All that is rather theoretical. While there is some freedom on how one reflects events, solid arguments can make it through bias.

Doesn't matter when almost all of admins and high rank members are from the regressive cult. I've watched it play out numerous times. If that's not enough, their 'reliable sources' system, which the left forced through instead of the '5 pillars' system they had before, means it's inherently biased. They refuse any sources right of Fox (and even some Fox sources) yet Washington Post, MSNBC and CNN are all reliable sources according to them, despite being caught lying numerous times in recent years

This system means nothing on there can be trusted. Imagine someone on WaPo decided to write an article labelling you a nazi without any evidence what so ever. Then someone creates a wiki page about you, referencing the WaPo article and stating you're a nazi. Now you are a nazi in the eyes of anyone randomly searching for your name and unless you can provide articles by leftist media stating you're not a nazi, you can't get that article removed

Did you read the rest of the post? There is nothing we can do at this point except if someone managed to dele the entire wiki and all existing backups. Jimbo is too busy doing the fundraiser thing and has no real power there anymore. Wiki is gone, has been for at least 2 years but probably more

You missed the whole problem with liberalism: it can't say anything wrong. A liberal is never wrong.
When you push that notion, there's no "solid argument", there's "the argument that pushes my agenda is right, yours is wrong".

Actually no. Last time a group tried to do something about this it became the gamergate clusterfuck and people are still blaming it for the world's problems all these years later.

Then electing Trump was a mistake too, since someone out there somewhere till won't shut up about it.

It is an uphill battle, but as with all battles, you have a 100% chance of losing, if you don't show up.

No, this particular battle has already been lost a long time ago. Better to spend the energy elsewhere while reminding people that wiki is propaganda. I know that it does not apply to everything on wiki but any page for something even remotely political and controversial is controlled by leftist

Existence of gamergate gave a reason and purpose for the 'woke' mafia to exist

Said mafia exists in all areas, most notably, in academia, and, wait for it, for decades.
The push is so hard, that guys like Jonathan Heidt (a leftie) founded "Heterodox Academy" to somehow fend them off.
Gamergate (which I learned existed only from this site) has nothing to do with it, hence.

Posting about such accusations on twitter, especially without evidence should be punishable by law as false statements. Its too easy to destroy someones life these days with a single accusation on public media when regressive SWJs accept everything as truth if it comes from the mouth of anything but a white male.

Point taken. I think these things do come in waves though, the French post-modernist movement came to western academia in the late 60s and took off in the early 70s then it faded in the 80s. Later it came back in the 90s only to fade again in the early 2000s. The problem with this wave of it is that it's spread online far beyond the reaches of academia. If you were to stop this kind of teaching today it wouldn't get rid of ResetEra or twitter mobs or anything else. The genie is well and truly out of the bottle at this point.

That's okay, though. The mob of proles always always always finds a way to ruin the shrewd machinations of the Masters. Now the rest of us can point and laugh at the genie while academia screeches at us for being too stupid to understand their "genius".

The last paragraph "I currently do not see a place for myself in games or on twitter".

That hurts. I lost a sibling and I can understand the pain and grief she is going through no one should have to deal with a situation like this especially given the events leading up to it.

did he commit suicide ?

If it turns out that this guy was innocent.... and killed himself because of a false accusation...

Well I'm not gonna post what I hope happens. I'll just leave it at that. You can probably guess what I'm getting at.

Yes

I don't even know what to say.

What's up with this horrible woman?

Yes

I suspected that. To Zoe this was "just a game of course". That woman is a certified psychopath that should be locked up.

 

[kingbean]

Abusers are often times abused. Most well adjusted people don't commit the things he's accused of.

Handling problems in a professional matter instead of using a hate mob should have been the way this kind of thing is handled.

The guy may have had issues (according to his sister), but how do we know he did the things Zoe accused him of? It sounds to me she wanted HIM to go down, knowing his weak points, in order to get revenge and the attention she so desperately craves. She didn't want him to recover and being a better person, she didn't want him to be in a better place at all. My goodness people, learn the traits of the severely pathological narcissist.

Believe me, by now it should be known that that woman has absolutely no conscience. She can walk over dead bodies as far as I'm concerned.
