I kind of wonder why these people constantly cite like fantasy games as misogynist when Grand Theft Auto flagrantly says 'Yeah women are basically objects to fuck and beat up'.
Oh wait, they can't target Rockstar because they have traditionally gave zero fucks

It's unsurprising. Internet Aristocrat has stated the entire thing feels like a massive p/r company that owns a lot of these journalism websites is orchestrating this drama for clickbait.

I actually know why this is. By all account, Jim should have commented, but the simple fact is that as things stand, he risks reprisal from the company paying his byline if he does. We have a general idea of how far down this bullshit goes, and we know that a huge number of people want to comment on this, to let us know they're on the correct side of this issue - but they can't. Between NDAs and similar details that many large companies currently use, Jim would risk disciplinary action or even firing if he were to comment directly about the issue.
With how often Jim's called Ben Kuchera out on his assholery, do you honestly think he wouldn't openly show his support for the side he felt was right if he thought for a moment he could do so without (A) one side or the other getting a collective bug up its ass, or (B) taking a punch to the balls from his parent company? I'm a huge Jimquisition fan, and have rarely found myself in disagreement with Jim, but I totally understand why he took this approach. He's not the only one who's literally had to, after all.

Jim Sterling has posted a response about the Zoe Quinn thing. He's backing out of it.

I stand corrected.
Still, I'm impressed. He's actively choosing to not take a side in this matter, and - honestly? I can respect that, since he's at least being up front about it.

Well if being known as the skank who fucked 5 guys to further her career is her kind of ideal attention, then sure she got it

I have a dark fantasy, and since I've had a few too many reeb's tonite I'm gonna share it:
I wanna take EVERYONE involved, from Zoe Quinn to Anita Sarkee-however the fuck you spell it, to the pro-"feminist" "males" with patchy facial hair and wacky ironic t-shirts, and even the twitter-tards with anime avatars: I wanna do this.
I want to tie all of them to a chair, and make them play Daikatana. With no cheats and no patches.

Many would say that is torture but considering how these people act and how they like to call those against them "terrorist" and such, it's fitting for them to play Daikatana.

Would anyone be interested in me doing an in depth review of DQ? If you've been to the DisneyFan01 thread you might have seen my critiques of her fanfiction. They were really half critique and half riffing, but it'd give you an idea of what my writing is like. If I do a review of DQ it'll be more on the serious, analytical side.

I wouldn't mind reading your in depth review of Depression Quest. I'm sure it will be a good review.

The fact that I auto-processed "DQ" as "Dairy Queen" means I probably need to go to bed for the night.

If anything, it's just an indication of how much more easily the ideologies formed within the walls of academia make their way into the cultural mainstream via video games rather than through any other media. It's hellishly difficult to, for example, get a radical social/economic reform implemented on a political level, but with how small and tightly-knit the gaming press is, it's easy for a group of like-minded intellectuals to start spreading certain memetic ideas throughout gaming websites, simultaneously influencing the general public and the game development industry. By the time the Internet rolled out for mass consumption, the film industry and film criticism were so enormous that it's hard to get the momentum necessary to get widespread coverage to promote a single agenda. Video games, however, matured as a medium for mass consumption and critique alongside the birth of widespread Internet usage, and in such a relatively niche market, it's orders of magnitude easier for an agenda to "go viral."
So, yes, it's definitely evidence supporting the belief that sites like Kotaku, Polygon, et al are pushing an "agenda," although it's not an issue with the sites themselves as much as those sites are just vehicles for certain key thinkers and decision-makers to (intentionally or not) support an "agenda."

Oh fuck, looks like I'm going to have to do it. 
Just FYI, I'm going to review the browser version of the game. I'm pretty sure the only addition she made to the Steam version was a half-assed "options" menu where you can turn off the music. Granted this is a substantial upgrade, I still don't want it in my library.

You gotta leave the music on. The over-compressed KaZaA style Kingdom Hearts MP3 gives the game that Livejournal-meets-DeviantArt charm.
I don't actually know what the music in Depression Quest sounds like. It was either that or a Linkin Park joke.
