     @icedquinn I just don't get what happened and why it was such a big deal. I was also very young when it happened, like maybe around 10. All I know is zoe Quinn sucked someone's dick or something ? Then men blamed feminism for everything. Idk the details

     @teratology @icedquinn The coordinated and continuous shutdown of anyone talking about the initial event (which was basically meaningless) and shutdown of people noticing the shutdown, infuriated people and made the backlash worse, like infinitely worse than if it was just ignored.
     
     All the indie journalists and indie game developers were in the groups, they were often friends, and in many, many cases competition judges and journalists were investors in games that they critiqued.

     @teratology yeah the press decided they were going to just blame men for being sexist in a hope they could deflect criticism and it went to the spiders from there.

     @Moon @icedquinn @teratology maybe, just maybe that has to do with the absolutely terrible PR goobergrapes got by being pushed by breitbart and similar outlets
