Is it true? Was it all about white supremacy?

They're just writing what they have to to earn money and (((fame)))
Sounds like there's a heavy dose of hysteria there.
I just wanted to play video-games

>they're all stupid and racist sexist crazy hoaxers but this is all a big deal and relevant and they change world events
drips with cognitive dissonance
Is this from the book "Kill all Normies"?
I would only read it if it talked about /baphomet/ by name. I want to see Benji written about in a book.
what shit rate book is that
What is this from?
I really don't give a fuck about gaming journalists, but this whole thing is just such an amazing example of 1984 style journalism.
I'm wewing all over. It's like Mao writing about how cutting down all the trees in China led to the US stealing their wood or some shit.

Here's the very, very short version:
>Once upon a time there was a fairly typical tumblrina named Zoe Quinn
>Quinn made this low budget game called Depression Quest
>Yes, it's exactly what it sounds like
>It was released on steam and got mediocre reviews from players
>However, a number of professional critics gave it glowing reviews
>IIRC it even got an award or two
>Suspicious but no one really gives a fuck at this point
>Enter Quinn's ex-boyfriend
>He claims Quinn has been banging critics for reviews and provides evidence
>Quinn freaks the fuck out, denies everything and cries "muh sojinny"
>Tells her sob story of harassment and sexism to every media outlet she can
>In typical media fashion they pick up Quinn's side of the story and run with it, turning it into a worldwide moral panic
>Household personalities like Anita Sarkeesian milk it for all it's worth, painting Quinn's critics as mindless misogynists and worse
>Gamergate threads become a constant feature on various 4chan boards, especially /v/
>Suddenly the threads disappear
>People get banned just for mentioning the word "gamergate"
>Someone claiming to be a janitor posts chat logs from the mods' IRC channel showing them conspiring to supress the gamergate story
>What's more, parts of it suggest that Quinn was fucking a mod or two as well
>Media shitstorm continues until public interest gradually fades away
