Joss Whedon is a well known SJW on Twitter. It's unsurprising he has a hard-on for Anita.
I'd fucking laugh if she did. The Fine Young Capitalists should reject her donation outright considering she used their contest in order to manipulate others into donating to her.
It's unfortunately predictable these journalists didn't do the slightest hint of research.
As to why we created the project, which is easily costing us over $20,000 dollars (which we will never recoup): it’s because of people like you — “Social Justice Viv.” People that we watch every day tearing women apart because they don’t meet some standard that you have set up, all the while acting as allies.
Your idiotic internet rambles don’t change anything. You could run your own design contest and give the women all the money. You could design your own game. You could do anything, but of course you won’t. We understand you have to feel better about yourself by hurting others, and we are happy to be those others.
I know. Did you see her complaining about 4chan's poll on what charity they should choose?
Social Justice Tool said:
74% goes to charities. So, assuming it sells well (which is a pretty generous assumption), this will help charities a decent amount. So yay, it can still help women get into game development! Except that’s not what /v/ and 4chan want their chunk of the profits to go to. They want their profits to go towards finding a cure for colon cancer. “To cure butthurt” Very mature of them.
EDIT: Apparently other considered options were male abuse shelters and prostate cancer. It sounds definitely like 4chan thought it’d be a laugh to give their profits from a feminist game jam contest about getting women into the industry to services specifically targeted towards men. So, just keep that in mind the next time 4chan tries to abuse that goodwill.
Ms Quinn is really not very happy with TFYC's statement:
Let's see... "Mob rule" is "toxic" no matter who it is aimed at... So Zoe would never retweet the doxxing of a child would she?
And Maya Kramer doesn't represent you? Okay so this is all bollocks is it?
Maybe Quinn thinks that because she didn't pay Maya in money she can't be linked officially etc. But we all know that Quinn trades favours already. And here is Quinn and Kramer (@legobutts) sharing their thoughts on the horrors of internet mobbings...
Also fun to ponder that Milo is currently investigating Silverstring... Might get even more interesting.

She reminds me so much of a sociopath I used to work for. Especially the last image, "43 tweets later". Quinn would lie about the color of the sky if anyone found supporting #gamergate said it was blue.

She seems to think that if she had deleted her emails, tweets, ims etc. then no-one will be able to prove her connections any more. It's like a small child who got caught covered in cookie crumbs... "The cookies are gone now so you can't prove it!"
I'm also interested to see how Maya is feeling about being so resoundingly thrown under the bus by Quinn. I can imagine that Silverstring would not be happy if she spoke out about Zoe and there won't be many journos who would support her either...
I think that it might all be closing in a bit for Quinn. Eron has his legal fees covered and all of the evidence he needs to prove he wasn't lying and TFYC are doing well and standing their ground. Websites are seriously losing traffic and who knows what Milo will produce next.

This supports what Christina Sommers said in that interview that made me ask for her hand in marriage (): SJW's aren't used to people fighting back. Sure, they get some complaints, but these are usually squashed by cries of "misogynist, homophobe, cis-scum," etc. It didn't work this time, and now they're trying (rather poorly) to cover their tracks.
Their take? Gamers are basically the NFL and Silicon Valley Venture Capatilists, a bunch of mysoganistic white boy trolls who want to oppress women and keep anyone who isn't white, a boy, or a troll out of the 100 billion dollar gaming industry. Also Anita had to flea her home.
I feel properly chastised, thanks WSJ for all your hard work looking into a single sided issue full of nothing but damsels and villains.

I'd like to point out the WSJ is owned by Rupert Murdoch and like any of his properties exists to serve his agenda. I'm a bit mystified that he'd let it side with a bunch of useless teen girls. Does Murdoch/Sky News own any video game companies?
Meanwhile, Kotaku is sliding down on the top Steam Curators list. Back then it was 3rd/4th and now it's getting lower and now at #7.
Anyway, found this interesting stuff when I was browsing through Tom Preston's Twitter. It's from the TRUE and HONEST Zoe Quinn herself. EDIT: Already posted by teheviltwin

Someone needs to do an examination of her personality, is she a legit sociopath or is she doing all this for money and attention? Me personally I think its a combination of having everything given to her and being so naturally self centered she cant see how her actions would affect anyone but herself in a positive way. Its why she keeps taking to Twitter when any other sane person would have cut their loses and wait for the shitstorm to pass, she's so used to just showing up in an environment and getting everything handed to her with little to no effort that she thinks the same thing will happen on Twitter as well. Plus if she's really from a wealthy family then it would explain a lot
