Is anyone else waiting anxiously for the articles on Kotaku, Polygon and Eurogamer where they apologize for fuelling the flames of a social media hate mob?

 

[infinitys_7th]

3 days. Lol.

Comply with their stupid games or they. Want. You. Dead.

 

[GrayChild]

Zoe appears to have deleted her Twitter.

The old rule that everything posted on the Internet stays there forever still holds true. I'm sure there are lots of screenshots and archived pages which can be used for further prosecution if necessary.

 

[Yoshi]

If Alec was innocent, and TBH I have no doubt that he was, I hope Zoe Quinn faces gets exposed and faces retribution. Fuck you, you psychopathic cunt.

How do you prove someone is innocent of a rape that is neither precisely dated, nor described?

 

[JoJoShabadoo]

This thread got taken down immediately.

After driving him to suicide, they now piss on the body even before it turned cold by calling him a coward. These people aren't human and this just proves once again that they need to be fought tooth and nail.

Holy fucking shit.

 

[Angry_Megalodon]

There is no way in hell this stuff is even constitutional. Is there not a single lawyer in the United States willing to make history and file a global case against cyber bullying via social media??? I can't believe it. No one?

 

[JoJoShabadoo]

Wow

 

[TrainedRage]

ResetEra, Quinn and Gaming news sites have blood on their hands.
FUCK YOU!!!!! This is TOO far. Wow. Fuck these faux outraged little shitheads. FUCK THEM ALL!

 

[Birdo]

This isn't trending on any social media sites. You'd think the dev of a well-known indie game killing themself would be big news :/

 

[DrCheese]

I doubt Zoe's account has been deleted, likely just deactivated. Same with his (former) boss's account

 

[infinitys_7th]

He is innocent by default, and Quinn is a notorious attention-seeking pathological liar with a history of fake rape allegations.

 

[Spukc]

Fucking lovely website aint it twitter..
Such a great addition to modern technology.

 

[Xaero Gravity]

You'd think for a forum that has so many people constantly talking about allegedly having suicidal thoughts they'd have more sympathy. But I'm guessing a majority of those "having suicidal thoughts" are full of shit and are just after sympathy points.

 

[GlassAwful]

Can someone summarize what this guy was accused of exactly?

I saw that he supposedly walked around a house with his fingers somehow jammed in her the entire time. How does that work again? Does he have a 4 foot reach?

And for some reason after this completely unwanted sexual assault it sounds like their relationship continued. Was there more?

 

[Herr Edgy]

3 days. Lol.

And I was permanently banned for stating that PewDiePie is an edge lord, not a racist. I was having a nuanced discussion with someone who disagreed, too. It was civil.

All of this disgusts me.

 

[Xaero Gravity]

You're probably right, I can't see her staying away from the social media spotlight for too long, she'll just wait for this to quiet down.

 

[CRON]

This isn't trending on any social media sites. You'd think the dev of a well-known indie game killing themself would be big news :/

We're part of an echo chamber, whether we like it or not. There are hundreds of millions of gamers on Earth, and of that, a fraction actively follow Indie games. Within that fraction, an even smaller fraction are actively interested in the trials and tribulations of their creators. To both sides of the debate, Gamergate seems like it's this intense political event, but in the grand scheme of things, it's passionate fans fighting amongst one another, all over entertainment products which by and large are viewed on the same level as toys and comic books.

Alec Holowka (Night in the Woods, TowerFall) accused of sexual assault [Update: Alec Holowka has reportedly passed away] [See staff posts/threadmarks]

Alec Holowka has reportedly passed away.

The internet is FOREVER ResetEra. You showed your asses. Fucking blood lusting fuckers.
Here are the thoughts with NO EVIDENCE.. FFS...
---------------------------------------------b4-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
what the, he is a monster
He privated his Twitter already. What a coward.
There is never only one victim. Fuck him.
An admission of guilt, as far as I'm concerned
Jesus fuck. I believe her.
I can't fathom how she's still a functioning human being after all the shit she's gone through.
Fuck you Alec Holowka, rapist kidnapper piece of shit.
As for this monster, fuck him and fuck anybody who will defend him. Piece of shit.
Another piece of shit. Feeling really terrible for Zoe Quinn. She's had to put up with multiple lifetimes worth of despicable assholes.
A narcissistic pervert who took advantage of a raped human being, and some people knew. The hell is this world.
---------------------------------------- (after he kills himself over these ALLEGATIONS)------------------------------------------

Yeah, everything about this is just horrible.
A tragic end to a very sad, painful story that we see playing out far too often in games. Just awful all around.
I'm just sad. I'm terribly sad. And I think that's about all I need to feel right now. Fucking sad.
RIP. I hope Zoe is doing ok right now.
A shitty end to a horrible situation. I hope everyone involved can find some sort of peace.
They say that suicide is the cowards way out but this one feels especally cowardly. Instead of working towards forgiveness he has just made everyone he hurt lives much worse, not to mention the lives of the people who loved him.
The trusty justice system. You're right, #MeToo is pointless. We should just trust our justice system, it's worked for years!!!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Honestly, fuck these people. from,"he's a monster, fuck him piece of shit" to "so sad...RIP, hope Zoe's ok"

I'm betting some of this happened (aside from him fingering her and leading her around with orangutan-length arms, which is absurd) because crazy women like Quinn love BDSM. I theorized early that they like it because it gives them to power to come back later and claim the domination was "assault".

Bex (Rebecca Gerber) did that almost exactly to one of her exs.

 

[Fox Mulder]

I hope he didn’t kill himself. However I would say if you really are suicidal after some crazy people accuse you of sexual harassment, this will only empower these bullies. Rather than kill/harm yourself come out and shut down these fake accusations! Mass majority of people are so tired of metoo billy campaign, you will have fat more support then you think I’m sure this fake accusations in gaming industry will only ramp up from here. Sadly his suicide will empower the sexist feminist bullies to falsely accuse even more people, they want to see people suffer, R.I.P.

Not everyone is ready or even able to handle getting mobbed and stabbed in the back by all their woke friends.

But yeah, Nick Robinson got shunned as a sexual monster and fired from Polygon and his apologies didn't matter. His own YouTube channel is pretty great now with popular content and it's likely still banned on era.

 

[Michele]

H HardRojo If you are still here, fuck off

Also, fuck you, Resetera

It's giving me the kind of same feels as Etika, assuming Zoe's accusation was a lie. First Etika, now him......

 

[Hendrick's]

Still think Zoe is hot, guys?

Hot like a burning Syphilis rash.

 

[Spukc]

for anyone that didn't see this TED talk yet. I wish you should.
And no longer support that shit stain website called twitter,

really stop delete your account. Don't give those fucks breathing room.

this is what a sack of shit looks like

It will be half hart'ed. They will give a couple of sentences of condolences towards the family but I guarantee you they will carry on with...

"This really highlights the issue that waman needs to be stronger then ever befor. Brave waman to come forward. Men need to come forward and stop rapeing". yadda yadda.

Just read a couple of pages in that thread. Pages of fuckbois debating how to accuse someone in public without stepping over the line. If anyone of you degenerates from that containment forum is reading here, i have an easy solution for you
STOP BELIEVING EVERY ACCUSATION AND LET THE AUTHORITIES HANDLE ANY POTENTIAL CRIME, YOU FUCKING MORONS

I'd be surprised if they post articles about this, let alone assume any guilt

Absolutely no guilt will be taken. They have pumped far to much cash into advertising and shitty articles to let this little hiccup get in they way.

 

[off duty ninja]

FUCK YOU!!!!! This is TOO far. Wow. Fuck these faux outraged little shitheads. FUCK THEM ALL!

Even Anita is part of this with their calculated harassment campaign. I hope they all get theirs.

I’d think that making these types of claims in public without having ever gone to the police would/should be some type of libel situation. You can’t just come out and make these types of accusations in public without repercussions.

RIP Alec.

 

[TeamGhobad]

 

[nush]

Operation Save The Queen is underway right now at every game site

Man commits suicide after losing his job and reputions due to Zoe Quimm making accusations without any proof.

Cuck journalist*: Zoe's the real victim here.

*also Resetera.

 

[Mobile Suit Gooch]

Era is victim blaming again and banning users calling out Zoe.

 

[Michele]

This thread got taken down immediately.

Holy fucking shit.

I found out that the person who made that thread that was deleted was @Jordie as original OP if I'm not wrong. And to him, if he's still here, props to him

They are too far gone. They just believe any alleged victim. They have a serious disorder called victim complex. They all feel like they are oppressed and virtuous and can do no wrong. But you can literally read pages and pages of hypocrisy by them as they have no actual awareness or actual empathy. They are all as fake as the anime tiddies they worship.

 

[Hendrick's]

I think it's time to bring back Gamergate. Let's not let them control the narrative anymore.

 

[chris121580]

Horrible news to read especially knowing he was trying to better his life. I’ll never understand this mentality of outing abusers on Twitter. Whatever happened to filing a police report and going through our justice system? I just don’t get it. Social media was a mistake

 

[MeatSafeMurderer]

How do you prove someone is innocent of a rape that is neither precisely dated, nor described?

You don't. You don't prove innocence, you prove guilt. If Quinn can't do that then she as good as murdered him.

Is that a good idea, though?

 

[cormack12]

 

[dolabla]

I don't know what happened, but this much is true, Zoe Quinn always seems to have some type of drama going on.

I've seen these type of people before who are always involved in drama. It's always the other person and never them.

Some of these people have no humanity left on them, this is disgusting.

 

[Shifty1897]

Half of ERA is high fiving themselves over driving someone to suicide.

I think maybe it's time to step away from the internet for a while. Here's your reminder to help someone in need, eat good food, play good games, and find peace in your life and in your community.

 

[KingdomHeartsFan]

This thread got taken down immediately.

Holy fucking shit.

They literally just had a 30 page bully thread up before Etika's suicide and now there's another suicide and they don't feel bad at all. The fucking scum of the earth.

Some of their members are apparently just as pissed off at the cruel comments about this man suicide.

But i wonder how many of these people who are saying that mental illness should be respected, mob lynched him before his suicide.

 

[CrustyBritches]

There's a fine line between a tool and a weapon, and it's becoming clear what the final form of social media and the internet is. This is what they want to do with video games as well. In the future, even lack of enthusiastic conformity will have you painted as a dissident and result in banning from access to social media and digital goods, all while being ostracized and crucified publicly by a coordinated mob.

Aside from GAF, did anybody in the industry or this guys circle of friends and associates even defend his right to due process and presumption of innocence? Were they too afraid of being accused of less than enthusiastic conformity to the hive mind?

 

[Thickandblack]

People really don't learn. Look at the tweets she's getting, they're just unleashing another hate mob on Zoe.

I didn't link specific comments since I didn't want to throw profiles out in the open, but they're everywhere.

We have to be better than this.

EDIT: she just deleted her Twitter

Nope glad she is getting this, hope she gets much worse she is a murderer. Story was fishy from the start.

Facing consequences for your actions is not being bullied into suicide.

So lets say for a min that what had happened was absolutely true. Wtf is with these people not going directly to the police? Why years later.
The reason I don't buy Quinns claim is because it's Quinn. We would have heard about this years ago. She literally can not shut up about being a victim.

You we're still his friend? After he supposedly committed a crime?

"I know Zoe dragged all this into the public spear of twitter so the mob could eat him. But please mob, Can you not eat Zoe. Internet. Stop."

Wtf is with this people.
