So, like, is there anything besides these three "reviews" that seem to be the given justification behind the latest harassment/witchhunt campaign by anti-SJWers? I see a lot of extreme indignation and I'm finding it hard to see why.

I do see that reddit mods had to create special rules because of the mobs actions though. But I'm guessing this is somehow a part of their plot to communicate with her... because there's no possibly legitimate reason to maintain communication with somebody targeted by the hate machine.

While some stuff, like whether it was actually Zoe who called for the DMCAs (you can blame YouTube for making it incredibly easy to fake DMCA), there are plenty of self-evidenced facts... like the response. Because when people try to slut shame her with nudes that they're posting everywhere to call her... lemme see some of these YouTube comments...

"I wonder if it is possible to troll this slut to the point she will do Chris Chan? That would be both so very disgusting and hilarious to watch!"
"Are those links legit? Damn, I don't want to defile my computer by downloading porn pictures of this ugly whore. I am just curious to see just how ugly her body is. Never been with such a fat girl."

There's plenty of evidence that people are targeting her in a way that would account for a lot of the "censorship" being used to curb the harassment campaign. Because actual criticism never really needs to get censored, but every time one of these parades happens there seems to be plenty of victims crying out how their Free Speech!! has been violated. Feh.

Most game studios have ran out of ideas, EA pay major gaming outlets, practically no one except toady had one fresh idea in the last ten years, but a game called "depression quest" is causing the fall of videogames because it got great reviews?

First explain me how you can possibly fooled by "depression quest". You know right from the start that it's a pretentious hypster game about depression, right? What else can it be? How can a game reviewer fool you about this? They made you think this game was the future of RTS?

Now this scream "manufactured shitstorm", we've seen this a lot in the past, but you're the fool for buying into it. It's like "tropes vs women" all over again : generate hype for a product that will interest sjw's, manufacture a shitstorm for pity points, rake in the cash. A fool and his money (and now clicks) ...

I bet she's raking in tons of cash from selling her free game. And all it cost her was people posting her nudes and address publicly.

Ok this is stupider than I though : stop the press, a free game got supposedly undeserved good reviews.
The ex of the creator made claims about infidelity, more at 11 .

Looking at all the Reddit Gold people are giving each other while circlejerking over this, I'm pretty sure Reddit has made more money off this controversy than she has at this point.

Wait... WAIT... Depression Question doesn't even require you pay for it? *checks on the game's site... checks on Steam* Double yep.

They are doing all this shit... for a game... that doesn't require money... and tying this into corrupt game reviews.

Beyond reasoning. I already had low standards for that crowd, but they've somehow been regressed further. Congratulations.

So... Where is this 'review' made by the man Zoey slept with, hmm? I can't find it anywhere, so please do post a link.

Also, my fate humanity has dropped from the already low 30% to a measly 16%. So yeah....

People have been shouting this for years and will continue to shout it in coming generations. Doesn't make it true.

I thought her game was free, meaning she was probably hoping for attention/popularity rather than money.

I think she may have won :P
