Look in the beginning of her notes, she accuses someone else of rape. Then goes on to forgive that person.I mean she accused him or rape. How he did it does not matter. Accusation itself is.
weird I get redirected to account suspended when I click the first link in the opFor me her account is still there, just private.
I suspect she closed her account to avoing being banned from Twitter over targeted harrasment, cyber bullying, witch hunting and brigading etc.you are a coward if you go dark when it matters most
be the person who can still interact with the world after death comes knocking

If twitter bans you they'll ban every alt the moment it gets reportedmake multiple accounts
Oh wow, I haven't seen you since I played Flame Over.Not that I posted there often(or here for that matter) but that place really is a cess pool of the worst kind of people who think they're the best kind of people.

For public figures theres no escaping twitter ban hammer.
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.
“I wasn’t seeing a lot of games doing it [exploring these issues] so that kind of made it an interesting thing to explore,” Holowka explained. “And it kind of fit with the idea of doing this generally down-to-earth subject matter compared to a lot of games that are more about like, characters that are super powerful. Our characters aren’t that powerful...which I think is also interesting and relatable.”
Mae is infamously known for beating up a boy for seemingly no reason when she was in high school. At the time, she was reacting to an episode of depersonalization that caused her to see the world in “shapes” and disconnect from reality. Her problems were reduced to her simply having “anger issues,” and, after the incident, she had to start seeing the town doctor to treat them. Dr. Hank didn’t help Mae work through her “anger;” instead he actively encouraged her to suppress it. Mae’s experience with Dr. Hank highlights a problem in smaller rural communities where mental health resources are not easily accessible.
“There’s certain situations where Mae kind of fucks up, and I’ve seen some reactions from players who identify with that and some that are really frustrated, like ‘I wouldn’t do that!’” Holowka said. “But I think that’s part of the experience sometimes of mental health, that you don’t necessarily feel like you can make the best decisions all the time. That there’s some aspect of you that’s going to make a bad decision, and you’re kind of struggling with that.”
Holowka wants Night in the Woods to be a conversation starter, even if players don’t connect personally with the characters’ struggles.
“I hope that it’ll at least have kind of left a crack in their perception of people like me who are going through shit,” he said.
Oh wow, I haven't seen you since I played Flame Over.
lol im not defending that scumbagannounce you are redirecting to various outlets before the initial close or ban
Oh, that sucksLol that's a blast from the past. Left the games industry a few years ago.
if only she had any conscience. somehow this will be spinned to further her disgusting cause.Hopefully this lousy cunt feels like killing herself today.
I'm not wishing death on her... Just want her to feel like she deserves to die.
Oh, that sucks
Well either way, it's good to see you posting here again, even if it's only once in awhile
I blame the mob.
Zoe was personally involved, ok.
Lol that's a blast from the past. Left the games industry a few years ago.
Basically. Pre gamergate gaf was cool though.
Should face jail time regardless. A man has lost his life because of her no matter if he is innocent or guilty.She is a despicable human being. Just awful and a coward on top. If her allegations get proven wrong she should face jail time
It's worse if you think about it that Alec still may be innocent in all of the claims. Andy Signore looked to be guilty on all accusations thrown at him, and look how that turned out.
Trial by social media is wrong. It's not the way forward.
Twitter wouldn't ban her ilk, but her recent post history is indeed evidence of those things.I suspect she closed her account to avoing being banned from Twitter over targeted harrasment, cyber bullying, witch hunting and brigading etc.
In 2014 i was banned in this thread (user perkel to have some credibility) for daring to defend Kingdom Come Deliverance lack of black people in their setting and explaining to people how middle ages life looked like in Eastern Europe at the time.
Look in the beginning of her notes, she accuses someone else of rape. Then goes on to forgive that person.
THEN describes essentially an abusive relationship with Alec.
That's a catch 22.That's a big "fuck you" to the few sane posters up there, if you ask me.
A final message ended with a plea that Holowka's death not be used as an excuse to harass anyone else.
There's a difference between harassing people, and holding them accountable for their actions. Hopefully people are able to tell the difference.RegressiveGamer reported on the suicide.
The way resetera disrespects its members is kinda fascinating. First they ban a ton of people in their zoe alec holowka thread for stupid and/or dubious resons (they often use bullshit like "dismissing concerns...." etc - who the fuck are they even to dictate what people should or shouldn't be concerned about!?), and then when they see the huge backlash they just look the thread to cover everything up.

But that's not the thing. Even if everything Zoe said is true, she still has literal sexual abuse allegations against her from another Indie Dev, she has a history of proven fake defamation against former colleagues and friends (Her old photographer and roommate, both female), former colleagues have pointed out she's a pathological liar and extremely mentally unstable, you have several former ex boyfriends talk about how she was an abusive, nasty self centred piece of shit.Because if you don't believe them you are transphobic or something.

Through her work with Feminist Frequency as the star of a video series critiquing depictions of women in the media, including video games, Sarkeesian also found herself caught up in the GamerGate firestorm. "I have been a target for three years non-stop," she told those in attendance, "of egregious online harassment in all levels."
She defined this as not just the violence that the group has formed to combat, but also the "day-to-day grind of ‘You're a liar,' ‘You suck' ... making all of these hate videos on a regular basis to attack us and the mobs that come from those hate videos."
Narcissists can’t accept that they may not be wonderful people. They are also incredibly fragile when facing an idea that perhaps they did something wrong, especially if others can see it. Therefore if there’s a conflict they will do anything and everything to maintain a fantasy that they are always good, all while perceiving the other party as evil.
Not only that, they need other people’s validation that their delusion is true. To achieve that, they create preposterous, slanderous, manipulative narratives where all of that is true and try to convince others of it. And since many people are unwilling and unable to look into the truth behind it, the narcissist can find that validation they so desperately crave and even act out their revenge fantasies. Often the reason is as simple as hating to see others doing well because they themselves are miserable.

She just lost her brother.
This world filled with shit stain SJW's can burn in hell for all i care. I am sick of dumb fuck extremist liberals. All they do is hide behind there fucking computer or phone or tablet and talk really nasty shit about people like they are not human beings and this is the shit that happens. Fuck all of you who support Antifa, who support SJW's, who support extremist liberals in general. I have no sympathy for you when Karma calls.

This arch manipulator told us that this wasn't about him. And yet, it was he who committed suicide because in reality it really was about him. Don't underestimate the psychopath. They are extremely cunning and clever, and they do everything in their power to achieve their goals. She knows the power of social media like I said elsewhere. I never believed her story, and even if it had some merit, it would've been vastly exaggerated and twisted to make her like a hopeless victim. That's what psychopaths do; they have no conscience.
Talking about a crime that has allegedly been committed but not reported on social media, as a matter of public record, should be a crime in and of itself.
Hiding behind social media because you’re afraid of the law, or afraid of retaliation, or any number of other excuses, should not be tolerated... regardless of the situation. If you’re courageous enough as an alleged victim to implicate someone on Twitter or Facebook, then you’re courageous enough to file a police report and subsequent criminal charges. This is circumvention of the legal system, with the added peril of accusing someone in a public forum of a crime with no intention of following legal processes.
Laws need to be changed and updated to apply to modern technology, which includes the liberal use of social media for harassment and intimidation. It can be argued that Quinn should be questioned by law enforcement regarding her role in this death.
Social media probably should be more responsible for the content allowed to be posted there. Allowing such intimidation, which led to the death of an individual, should fall at least in part on the shoulders of the forums that allow such intimidation to occur.
A very sad situation, and a frustrating reminder of how social media has been weaponized and co-opted by people as an instrument of abuse, harassment, and intimidation. It’s a severe devolution from its more humble beginnings as a forum to share random photos and blurbs on how you spent your day.
Disease was already there just to a lesser degree.
At the time there already were games which were banned from members to make threads about like that top down shooter about killing civilians (which was banned because dev "liked" on facebook some polish nationalist post about immigration of all things). The rot had set it around 2010-2012 when people were banned not because they were jackasses which was tradition which everyone was happy about but because someone didn't like user politics. From there it was slow rise of crazy mods who slowly started to manifest their politics. 2016 election is what broke the cammel and mods went mental banning people left and right just because they dared to say they liked Bernie of all people, behaving like lunatics. From there people just walked on eggshels or just completely avoided offtopic sticking to games which was incredibly harder and harder because politics went into games threads non stop at this point.
I think EviLore once said that in 2016 elections Neogaf was like top5 sites for politics which was and i quote "fucking weird in retrospect"
In 2014 i was banned in this thread (user perkel to have some credibility) for daring to defend Kingdom Come Deliverance lack of black people in their setting and explaining to people how middle ages life looked like in Eastern Europe at the time. In the end i was right and mods were wrong because Kingdom Come didn't turn out to be fantasy rpg but actual historical RPG.
Evilore himself was also guilty of this but as they say, the only way to learn is to fail. He learned the hard way what rest of users had to deal with on these boards.
To this day i still think that Neogaf itself could completely defuse gamergate because it was the only big gaming forum that could have reasonable discussions with arguments without shouting that could explain from A to B what happened and if someone should care about it. Instead after reddit and few other big gaming forums completely banned talk about this subject subject was also banned on Neogaf which effectively put people into two baskets. One which went to 4chan and other sites that had free speech and other who went to thumbr etc and both sides formed barricades which holds to this day.
Unfortunately it was few years to late. Around 2010-2012 it could work but not in 2014 when even Evilore himself was taken in by this ideology.
Zoe Quinn & Anita Sarkeesian went crying to the United Nations a few years ago & claimed literal criticism of women or a "you're a liar" comment on the internet = "harassment": https://www.polygon.com/2015/9/25/9...men-cyber-violence-anita-sarkeesian-zoe-quinn
Their definition of "harassment" is a perversion of the actual meaning of the word. They'll scream "harassment" at anyone who exposes their bullshit, calls them out or even just disagrees with them. They're a lost cause & so are their supporters.
