FAR WORSE THAN THE JOURNALISM IMPLICATIONS: THE PLANNED FRAUD, LIES and possible CRIMINAL CHARGES (fake rape-threat accusations, if police were involved)
What we care about is:
Anita Sarkeesian started a kickstarter, then anonymously posted her own criticisms of it, and insults / threats to herself, onto 4chan, then linked to them on her twitter to make money
She told Zoe Quinn how she did this, but told her to use a different site.
Zoe Quinn posted the same thing, on a different, but similarly anonymous site, calling herself a cunt, and writing will someone please link her to this. How transparent.
Zoe Quinn then pretended to be threatened with rape and phone calls, escalate it so there are stories everywhere, post neat little copy everywhere that people can blogspam out there, and try and profit
But people were ready and more informed this time around, the 'wizard' forum said "none of us said any of those things", so she panicked, fearing she would be found out and tried to make the game free, so she could avoid suspicion, then try for paid as well.
While this was going on, as people criticized Zoe Quinn, she cherry picked criticism and posted it on her twitter account to fan the flames, exactly as Ana had done. Cherry picking.
There was a reason they chose ANONYMOUS forums to link to, no sign up date, no accountability, both Anita Sarkeesian and Zoe Quinn are guilty of making false rape-threat accusations. That is shameful. What's worse, they laugh about it and about how 'easy it is to get money this way'.
Both Anita Sarkeesian and Zoe Quinn are taking monthly donations, knowing they can capitalize on this one event and try and get a regular income stream WITHOUT PRODUCING ANYTHING.
Throughout the entire last 24 hours, BOTH Anita Sarkeesian and Zoe Quinn haven't mentioned each other on their twitter accounts. Anita Sarkeesian has ignored and not responded to ANY mentions or questions or requests from seeming supporters that she mentions Zoe Quinn. Guilt. BOTH accounts have NOT mentioned each other - clearly out of a worry of being further implicated as being in cahoots.
Anita Sarkeesian, not mentioning any of the events, has continuously been retweeting her begging links to get people to support 'her non-profit' - which means to support her, give her free money, for her to spend, on herself, doing nothing.
The fact that Anita Sarkeesian deliberately stated that "if someone says we did it, that's victim blaming" shows that she is worried about this line of questioning, without addressing it. To take a direct accusation that they made the threats, hence there were no threats and answer it as if someone said you did receive threats, that you were responsible for. That's a mark of guilt.
To cause more confusion, Zoe Quinn setup a honeytrap email address and posted 'hacked by 4chan' to her OWN account. This is disgusting behavior and shows what strange minds they have, trying to trap people.
In the meantime they are fucking over an industry, by effectively saying that the gaming industry doesn't cater for them. That's like going into a Starbucks and screaming because they don't sell beer. Go to a pub. If a pub doesn't exist. Open one.
Don't support these professional victims.
It's disgusting. They are cheats and liars. Frauds.
The worst part is the FRAUD
To highlight:
EVEN BEFORE ZOE QUINN MADE HER GAME ABOUT DEPRESSION, SHE KNEW AT THE OUTSET SHE WAS GOING TO POST INSULTS TO HERSELF ON A FORUM. She went ahead, made the game and kickstarter, solely because she knew she was going to stage this stunt, this false flag. Which is especially evil considering their stated plight of 'feminism'. There is no way in hell either of them are 'true feminists'. Their actions undermine the true plight of women gamers, developers and women who legitimately live in fear of the events they fabricated.
If police were ever involved in either of these cases, it is a crime of them wasting their time in such a way.

New: more information is coming on this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cAsJO7G1vII[2]   - I hope that we will have conclusive, IP proof and confessions so all doubt is removed that these scummy people Anita Sarkeesian and Zoe Quinn are just calculated opportunists who stole people's money. When this happens, I hope they get stripped of their donations and their non-profit statuses and the press wakes up to this stupidity and don't let themselves get bullied by ignorance.
