She has had her Skype, Twitter, Tumblr and Facebook hacked by the faceless members of the hate mob that her jealous ex-boyfriend galvanized against her in the wake of their bitter separation more than one year ago.

Wait, wait, wait. Is this set up for Zoe Quinn? I'm confused.

[–]Dwavenhobble[S] 17 ポイント18 ポイント  (4子コメント)

I have no clue anymore.

It's like some indie developer / studio is trying to be all the people claiming gamergate attacked them.

Either that or Zoe Quinn, Chloe Segal and some others have got together to make a studio, were pretending to be new indie developers on the scene but failed to get funding so are playing the victim again.

It's the most insane thing I've ever seen

I honestly think someone should contact Zoe. Because either we need to know that she's behind this, or she needs to know that someone is trying to make money off of her story.

"Hey Zoe, This is GamerGate. Listen, before we start accusing this studio of stuff, we need to know if you're part of it. Can you just let us know? Thanks."

I'm sure she'll get right back to us on that one.

I don't believe it's ZQ simply because she's been so self-promoting before, why would she go anon on this and then de-anon herself without actually naming herself.

I didn't mean to imply that one of us should contact her. :P

Her fictional story, remember.

[–]Binturung 2 ポイント3 ポイント  (1子コメント)

Could just be using her story, if it's Segal looking for oppression buxs. She didn't strike me as the most honest person around. On the surface, it sounds terrible, doesn't it?

[–]noretus [スコア非表示]  (0子コメント)

This sounds really weird and yeah, kinda agree like they're trying to make it sound like they're Zoe. People who've been paying the minimal attention to the whole mess might believe it.

Let this unfold I'd say.

Ha. The chick that tried to get Cernovich swatted gave 35 bucks to that Go Fund Me. Probably nothing, but mildly amusing anyways.

Sounds like we might have found an attempt to smoke screen something going on here now if some of the more major SJW players are flocking to it lol

This look more like a scam targeted at gullible Ghazis than an actual real drama in the making. Just my 2 cents.

Frankly? Disgusting. As indie developer I am ashamed. Game development always struck me as cutthroat meritocracy - you're good, you'll get job. Doesn't matter whether you have higher education paper, if your portfolio is good, you're good in the business. You suck? Well c'est la vie, get good or get lost. But this... this is vile.

Let me get one thing straight - indie gamedev is hard. You work years to be recognized enough to be able to start making some money of it. Until then you work double shift on your games and on various contracts to pay the bills. Or you work shitty job to save up. Being successful indiedev is badge of honor few of you might recognize - it not only means that someone is good at gamedev, it means that they slaved through years to make enough money on the side to pay off their gamedev start.

Someone trying to get some easy money by playing harassment card is insult to everyone who worked hard at what they have.

This is partly why I felt I should bring this crap up here as firstly it's insane and secondly it is insulting to actual indie developers.

I'm not like other (male) indie game devs who are petty enough to refuse to do business with GamerGaters.

So we should all start Patreons and then claim GG is harassing us and we make money? God, and I thought working hard made money.

[–]salamagogo [スコア非表示]  (0子コメント)

How the fuck would money even alleviate harassment? Such a crock of shit. I could see if one had their identity stolen and credit cards were opened, but aside from that, what? They trying to pull a "pain and suffering" type thing? For all the bitching aGGros do about gamergate, a fair few have made money as a result of it.

I have more respect for panhandlers in streets. At least they are more upfront about what it is.

Ok this is going to hilarious, I've looking into this and their supporters of sophia the one who tried to doxx Chobitcoin and had the massive issues with randi harper.

This is all so talk of not wanting to be an SJW and how a pro sjw group went after a friend because she was apparently too popular.

Let this be a taste of it. Quote "When people call ZQ a "white feminist," I become personally offended and I have every right to be."

Chloe has tried to get more Oppression Dollars multiple times. A few months ago, she started a "YouCaring" fund so she could get a new computer. I really liked the part where she would have to really cut corners for a $1.5k computer, but $3k would really let her get the computer she wanted. When the best case scenario is that your money is going to someone buying a pre-built Alienware, you know you're in a bad situation. Not to mention in her description of it, she literally admits that "I already get paid living expenses from my investors over at Patreon".

(She raised nearly $1.9k btw)

[–]Raspade [スコア非表示]  (0子コメント)

the developer is asking someone who claims they can barely afford food to help pay what are presumably vet bills for a horse. You know quite an animal often associated and owned by the rather privileged here in the UK. Which of course isn't mentioned at all on the Patreon it's linked to

  • From a quick look at things it seems like the artist's (maddieatsbrains) Patreon is actually for art and her Youtube channel, the Youtube channel has a minor feature of horses (she rides them? works at a stables? Idk).

    It seems like the account that tweeted to ChloeSagal injected the bit about the financial need for the sick horse so I don't think maddieatsbrains is really implicated as part of this... tangle.

    I also feel obligated point out that the artist is located in the US and while I have no personal knowledge of horse ownership my vague understanding is that it is not necessarily associated with privilege, especially in the Midwest, but again I don't live there so I don't know.

  • From a brief look at the gofundme and the alleged connected Twitter it seems to be just a copycat of BW's Patreon essentially. The Twitter account has some rather... inflammatory things on it which will of course attract trolls (she also says some rather mean things about Suey Park).

I would suggest to just ignore it all, it doesn't appear to have much significance. Don't touch the poop and all, especially before it even hits the ground. If anything it seems like CIRCENYX company might be some sort of scam (or maybe a parody), but that's up to the gofundme to sort out and I don't think it's relevant to GG but you might disagree.

I'm currently making 3D models and hoping to sell some eventually once they're polished enough. Also trying to learn UE4 so I can make some games without relying on others for all the work. But it's hard payless work.

So could someone call me a prick or something so I can open a patreon. I've got a big nose if that helps. Oh and am half-Italian. Also British with bad teeth.

So "hook nosed half wop" or something will do.

"Craven limey broke tooth vagabond".

"We're being harassed by those evil gooblygompers!....evidence? WHY ARE YOU QUESTIONING ME??? GIVE ME $$ OR I WILL CALL YOU A MISOGYNIST SEXIST RAPIST, SHITLORD!!!!"

E-begging like this while pretending to "stand up" to us is one of the most hilariously pathetic things I've seen. They're not even hiding that they're a bunch of untalented fucks that can only make money by begging for it on the internet.

[–]raze2012Noticed by senpai! 3 ポイント4 ポイント  (1子コメント)

welp. I guess this is appropriate (honestly, I've always wanted an excuse to post this myself).

I swear, if some of these people put as much work in cultivating their respective art (2d/3d graphics, programming, storytelling, AI,etc.) as they do setting up these crazy internet outages, they could probably make games that the general audiences will find fun, looks pretty, and/or can deliver the message in a way that doesn't feel completely forced. Or at least be hired into a company so they don't have to live off of crowd funding. Respect to those who can legitimately do it, like the adblock creator' claims, but I wouldn't want my entire income to be determined by the benevolence of the internet.

Never heard of them or seen their name posted here or on twitter. Seems like a publicity stunt to curry favour with certain demographics.

Publicity stunts are all well and good, but if you are doing it by smearing and denigrating whole groups of people, you are simply the lowest of the low in shitty people.

So someone is trying to stir up donations by going to/getting support from someone else whose greatest contribution to crowdfunding was running a false page claiming they needed money for lifesaving surgery when they really wanted the money to pay for getting their plumbing swapped around? This will surely end well.

[–]Glorious_PC_Gamer 1 ポイント2 ポイント  (2子コメント)

What in the fuck. What blows my mind? Someone actually fucking donated $160 so far.

[–]Dwavenhobble[S] 3 ポイント4 ポイント  (1子コメント)

Apparently it's multiple people who have got it that far up.

[–]Glorious_PC_Gamer 2 ポイント3 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Yeah, I meant someone as in someone thought it was a good idea to donate and that there were enough of that someone to hit $160.

"I'm a target of Gamergate and need money to make it better!" is becoming the online equivalent of someone walking up to you on the street and saying their family member died and they need $500 to fly cross country so they can be at the funeral.

[–]Ekaros [スコア非表示]  (0子コメント)

It does tell sad state of these people if they really need 500$ from donators for something. And then again expect to accomplish something with it...

[–]qwertygue 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (1子コメント)

Sorry, this is still balls confusing, is the second person the same as the first twitter, or is Chloe the third person involved?

[–]Dwavenhobble[S] 1 ポイント2 ポイント  (0子コメント)

I have no clue.

They may be a number of developers at the same studio.

They may all be Chloe Segal

It may be a single person trying to use Chloe's name and Zoe's own story to play the victim and get sympathy crowd funding.
