🎭 Dramacow Gamergate / Depression Quest Shitstorm

[namazuros]

TLDR Ben Kuchera just got rekt for going against Polygon's ethic policies.

And to those who may say "Well did he actually write about Zoe or Depression Quest during that time?"

I'm glad you guys are posting about other people in the field who're breaching conduct and being unethical.

The only response I got for my post was people saying I was too soft on Zoe and just kept bashing her solely. :/

 

[Varis]

I love how nobody retelling the events can pinpoint what Wizardchan is actually about.

 

[wheat pasta]

And how people just assume Zoe got harassed about her crappy game because she's "A female developer".

Since 4Chan's been blowing up over this controversy over the past week I thought I'd share one of my favorite posts about it.

I just went over the very first wizardchan post that demonstrated how much of a liar Zoe was initially.

It states that Zoe only found out about wizardchan because somebody from the CWCiki forums contacted her about the fact they were talking about her there.

While I don't think that somebody was actually a registered member, I do think this forum was the second domino. I mean, would her ex-boyfriend have the courage to make the blog that got this fired started if it weren't for wizardchan's original posts and the lies that followed it?

This is probably more slow than informative, but I feel like there's a lot more to this than the same points being brought up over and over by people. I just wish people cared.

Watch out for Bikers and Commander Stryker, gamers.

Say your prayers and eat your vitamins, boys and grills, because Based Aristocrat has posted part 2 (this video is apparently old but I never saw it posted before, let me know if it has).

 

[Seahorses]

Watch out for Bikers and Commander Stryker, gamers.

I can't believe this person actually wrote that, "...more respect for ISIS..."

That's just silly.

Yep.

"What ISIS did is potatoes compared to what Anita and Zoe have done!"

Just finished watching a pretty decent video from ReviewTech about the whole steaming pile. They did a pretty decent job encapsulating what has been going on. Y'know, just in case reading is too much.

His first video was pro-zoe and pro-fish and it pissed me off. The fact that he went and found out that there was more to this makes me extremely happy.

Does anybody remember a more simpler time of "gaming journalism", like how John Romero should remove his face from Stevie Case's surgically enhanced bosom so he could finish Daikatana? Or trying to calculate how many men Cliffy B performed fellatio on to afford his shiny pimp suits? Or how many vending machines Derek Smart destroyed? Or how much creatine monohydrate Jace Hall consumed to make the Lithtech 1.0 engine?

When John Romero could say you'll be his bitch and it'd be considered a legitimate ad in magazines. God damn I miss the cocaine days of video game publishing.

Bit off topic, but here's some more "no ethics" nonsense from Nathan Grayson.

But if you can't include your Token Pronoun Friend then how can you truly achieve QUEER REPRESENTATION? (And seriously, none of those people are "coifed" )

I'm starting to think that part of this is sheer numbers, like maybe those with the skills to make indie games don't want to hang out with provocative manchildren and are mostly off doing other things. Can we guarantee that someone will exist such that they aren't friends with these developers but still care enough to cover them?

Give me that double fillet o' Fish

Spoiler: GIVE ME THAT FISH

Rich unfortunately doesn't do that much research into his videos. He usually takes something at face value and rolls with it.

Thankfully his ego didn't get in the way and he produced another one to correct himself with Mundane Matt.

Is there anywhere relatively quick to know where / what this shit is going down at? You guys do fine and all but it seems like here and /v/ are the only places I've seen that haven't been put onto lockdown on the subject, and Christ try following a thread over there.

Watch the Internet Aristocrat's two videos. Those'll bring you up to speed on the current goings on.

Alternatively check out Mundane Matt's videos. This is the one Zoe tried to censor.

There's also this lengthy discussion from Mundane Matt and GamingAnarchist:

Also, the FYC IndieGogo is back again.
