So I guess if we use the old adage from Sherlock Holmes "when you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth?", I guess Zoe might lurk here from time to time. Or one of her white knights told her about wizardchan in passing.

It's likely someone here linked it to her on Twitter. It's unfortunate it lead to all this.

Are you implying that because you only heard about Wizardchan here, this is the only place that knows about it?

It's a silly thing. People hear about things. Wizards aren't underground and people know about them on 4chan, reddit and other places a girl with a quirkyness fetish would frequent.

Wizardchan is mentioned on boards like r9k but not very often. It's unlikely Zoe Quinn came to Wizardchan and stumbled upon a thread of hers by accident. At the time we were talking about Wizardchan posting a thread about Zoe, and it's significantly more likely someone linked it to her as a result.
 
She probably spends a few hours a day googling herself and her "game" that's how she found wizardchan, if she spent ANY amount of time there, she'd know her claims of phone harassment would fall flat on its face the moment anyone actually dug and found out that anyone from that site would get half-way through dialing a woman's number, premature ejaculate, and hang up in rage. Also, calling it now, she fucked Phil Fish as his own wedding.
 
I haven't been paying attention to this shitstorm at all to be honest but I just wanted to drop this off here. (Sorry if it's been posted already.)

Wow...this is a hell of a trainwreck and also, it's quite confusing. I've been trying to piece everything together and initially at first I supported Zoe as I consider myself somewhat a feminist, though I am not like the radfems on Tumblr. I can't stand those people and it appears that this Zoe person is a conniving manipulative, lying no-good person that I don't think I would trust with my innermost secrets.

I actually played Depression Quest and while I understand that it's supposed to bring awareness to depression and how crippling it can be, I found the game to be underdeveloped, written poorly and there aren't many options. I don't even know how it got on Steam as I thought the game needs more work. I think it could have developed more but it's just half-assed.
 
According to some people Zoe was actually a huge woman-hater and a misogynist before she was well known.

I just think Zoe is a cunt.

Having only read about the game, apparently, it doesn't take the player down the darker alleys of depression.

How do you simulate something by not simulating it?

The main character in depression quest has a girlfriend and his problems basically amount to "Get out of bed today"
 
Depression varies from person to person, and I'd figure this game's interpretation of depression might hit true for some people with the condition, a lot of what I've heard is that it's far from accurate. As a person with severe depression, I'm torn between wanting to give it a look to see how accurate it is and being unwilling because I might get super pissed at a trivialized depiction of the condition.

The sad thing is if she was not a chick no one would play or give a fuck about her game. She literally owes her entire career to males treating her with "different" (much lower) standard then a male. If i did not know otherwise I would assume depression quest was some high school programmer class project.

Also, anyone see her pics and think of myspace circa 2004? I actually miss those emo chicks from back then.
 
Can anyone give a detailed description of the game play? Or point me to a good let's play? I'm genuinely curious about the game, but I definitely don't want to pay for it.
 
I'm not even sure I even want it on my computer, to be honest... just downloading it feels... dirty... :briefs: I think I'll just read the reviews.
 
Well that's 9 minutes I won't get back. That's how long I tried to play this "game"
 
Okay, this sexism against men needs to stop and it needs to stop RIGHT FUCKING NOW.

Women have problems. Yes, we do. Men have problems, too. A man's problems are just as valid as a woman's problems. If you think otherwise, kindly shove your head up your ass (oh wait, you already have!). Someone tell me why it's unacceptable to say "women are just too emotional!" but to say "men only want one thing" is fine. Yes, let's boil all men down to their genitals, because it's not like they have aspirations or needs or ARE FUCKING HUMAN BEINGS, TOO.
