Asking for pity for those who caused more harm seems to be more of a Karma issue than an "eye for an eye". But even with that perspective no one of gamergate has been harassing zoe quinn. People have because she's an awful person. She showed the rabbit hole to #gamergate, the end. If you want to cry about the poor zoe quinn, go complain to her twitter where she encouraged it, thrived on the attention, and showed herself to consistently being a shi`tty person. I'm sure people would feel more sympathetic if they didn't see her by her actions and not her convenient intentions. Funny how humans work that way.
Stereo Wrote:I'm not sure what the third sentence means, it's got too many subordinate clauses. Remember you're dealing with someone who doesn't "understood any of it at a rudimentary level". I'm not referring to some specific 1st year engineering student's definition of misogyny when I claim it about people, so I don't know whose degree is in play.
You talk down to others assuming they are misogynistic based on psychological definitions by people who have the most worthless college degrees, such as communication and level 1 sociology, who are the same people who admit to these racist/bigotry statements. You genuinely think anyone here is misogynistic? I mean honestly do you really want to undervalue that term to make it mean something as worthless as genuine feminists feel about feminism?

reviewer judges the game alone, not the author
reviewer is part of the gaming community
reviewers never exchange money with game developers
review sites are able to pay their reviewers
That's nice and all but that's not what happened. During majority of these indie game competitions, other peoples games were ignored, or played really really briefly while the conflict of interest game was played the entirety of the time. We aren't talking you know "Oh my friend played it", I'm talking "We have stock invested into this game" or "co-owners" in some cases.
Last I checked Phil Fish fled because the FBI is after him for racketeering.
