Leaving aside if sleeping with the people that were supposed to review her game was a breach of ethics or not, I don't get how cheating on your boyfriend with multiple men is not a breach of ethics. What kind of ethics allow you to have sex with multiple men, without breaking off your previous relationship? I do think that is wrong. And whether or not she slept with them so they would give good reviews and the like, sleeping with someone would obviously create a bias. People usually don't sleep with people they hate.

Lets say Politician A and Journalist B are friends. If journalist B writes a good article about Politician A, its unlikely to cause a huge controversy. Sure, some people may point out it is biased, but it is generally accepted. No one would really get up in arms about it. Now, if Politician A had sex with Journalist B, that is a completely different story. It doesn't matter if Politician A had sex for the article or not. A good journalist should step back at that point and realize they can not write anything close to a fair article. Now lets just throw in the fact that Journalist B was married. Oh, and Politician A also slept with Journalist C-F. And they also wrote good articles about them.

Yes, people do get victimized online, and it is a horrible thing. But crying wolf is just as bad, if not worse. While sometimes it is hard to obtain proof, there should at least be an effort made. Anyone can claim they were attacked. Sexism works both way, females should not get a free pass because they are females. And claiming to be victimised when you were not is unfair to the people who actually are. Not to mention you are then victimizing the people you claim victimized you. It's a stupid circle.

TBH, I had never heard about this Zoe person before. Don't really want to hear about her again in the future.
