The Fevered Dreams of Zoe Quinn

The #Gamergate story getting a lot of traction recently is the 11-page novella pulled from Amazon, entitled "Roughed Up By #GamerGape." This has been described as a thinly-veiled rape fantasy about Zoe Quinn.

The Overwatch has credulously reported that this novella proves #Gamergate's misogyny, even though it was #Gamergate supporters that reported the book as being in violation of Amazon's TOS, and helped to get it pulled. Radfem site Jezebel reported that Quinn found the book on Amazon this morning herself.

Found it herself, did she? I will go so far as to hypothesize that she probably wrote, or more likely commissioned it, herself. It arose from her borderline personality disorder, with only the names changed to protect the misogynists.

I can't find a copy of the novella, so I have to make inferences from the blurb. First, the blurb describes her as a "controversial video game designer." Only Quinn and her champions would describe her in this way. Depression Quest is not a video game. It is a text adventure that no one would ever consider entertainment.

"...when her latest game offends the nation..." Depression Quest certainly has the potential to offend the nation.

"...five men unleash their pent up anger on poor Zada." Five men, five men, now where have I heard that before? Were their names Xanthan Gayson, Knobbin Areuanut, Boshua Joggs, Christian Grey, and a guy just named NPC #1? Why not title it, Fifty Shades of Zoe Quinn?

The phrase, "pent up anger," is the tell. I see that phrase time and time again used by the anti-#Gamergate Overwatch. It is pure projection. And yet another false flag.

Let me guess, Zada is about to release a new "game," and goes over to Boshua's house to have his friends help her beta-test the thing. The "game," called Eternal Sunshine of the Pimply-Faced Gamer, is plagued by crashes, invisible walls, slow load times and crappy AI. Even Mountain Dew can't keep the boys awake. Suddenly, Knobbin finds a rapey easter egg, and everyone dog-piles "poor Zada." It's a pure bodice-ripper.
