Zoe is a pretty shitty person but hating her only makes her more of a victim.
And in the world of rabbid progressives, the more of a victim you are, the more infallible you are.
Not sure it works that way. I'm sure people hating her(and those feeding her delusions) in her mind already contribute to the "victimization" but anyone who can identify what she is, what she's really doing already write her off as an attention whore. There are very few undecideds still on the fence about her and those who are just learning about her now are quick to dismiss her points.
It's a shame really, she gives actual feminist/any real point she might have a bad name; the video game industry does tend to cater to a male audience(as we used to be almost the exclusive market for them) and it would be nice or more female oriented games were made but it all comes out as crap because of her lack of credibility.
Can't believe anyone at the UN took anything she had to say seriously. For the most part I simply believe it's people who are not really aware of how things work on the internet, or "laymen", who swallow her shtick which can be an ever bigger problem as they tend to be the lawmakers.
They'll more than likely see a women being harassed and called things because an ex made her affair a public thing, I haven't seen any major media outlet say anything differently. The only people who see her as an attention whore, manipulator, hypocrite, etc. etc. are "gamers", and there's already a bias of sexism and vitriol.(some of it is true unfortunately)
The game industry is a huge as fuck and has games that appeal to people of all demographics/experience levels and the barrier of entry is almost nonexistent to making what you want to play. Plus developers are artist, they have creative freedom to do what they want with their games, they don't have to pander or cater to anyone as long they're not committing fraud. They're not public servants, and women aren't some unified demographic that's catered to by a single genre or concept.

Yeap. Similar deal with anita snarksomething. Has some valid points, the rest are just dumb, making her entire point/ view a joke.
The only thing I agree with her as that a lot of video game writing is bad and that people shouldn't send death threats and harassment at her. Other than that her main points have no validity, or she's just no a fan of free expression.
