She also got a website for a charity that tries to help people into medias they may not have an easy way into DDosed and laughed about it on twitter.

She overall problem that people are upset about is that game makers and game "journalists" are all friends, support each others patreons, and give each other favorable reviews and don't disclose their relationships. Even as friends.

The unrest has been there for a while. People mad about game companies paying for reviews. People getting fired for not giving sponsored games great reviews. People are using the coverage of this Zoe Quinn thing to try to get some attention to how gaming journalism has been.

Journalists have reacted by posting over a dozen articles in one day about how gamers are terrible people. They're essentially shitting on their audience because they're questioning their ethics.

Yeah the nerve. At least Kotaku, I think, made an announcement that they can no longer do this. It's a conflict of interest to support someone you're supposed to be reporting on objectively.

I...are you serious, dude? There's a very clear conflict of interest, here -- not so much in the supporting of patreons, but certainly in the writing of favorable reviews for friends.
