She kind of triggered the entire gamergate movement
The Five Guys incident was to gaming journalism what covid-19 was to leftists around the world: a precipitating event. Journos had wanted to throw gamers out of gaming for years. Zoe Quinn gave them a pretext to do so. It ended up not working at all. Now almost everyone, including devs, hates journos.
member how that disgraced ars writer defended her? pepe farms do
She was a nobody at the time (still is). The way the journos responded was the real issue.The 5 guys post came out on the weekend on Monday morning, almost every gaming journo site had "Gamers are Dead" as their headline piece. Bashing gamers and autistic people as evil violent basement dwelling misogynists. They all used their GameJournosPro mailing list to keep a consistent narrative.
All the media was being asked of was to mention conflicts of interest. They refused, and burned even more of the bridge with more false accusations, and more proof they hated everything about the industry they were in. The FDA some years later required presenting conflicts of interest, but even there were many who didn't.
