Reading up on internet drama 9/7 '14
I've been following #Gamergate and the Zoey Quinn thing when browsing reddit and other media. Conspiracy from some group on 4chan to fuck with ZQ, maybe. Conspiracy from ZQ to fuck with members of the games media to get coverage, maybe. Out of control social media overreaction? Sure.
None of it is worth the attention it's gotten, but in my opinion some of the mess has a basis in reality. Some games media sites do little more than accept money from publishers to write paid reviews, and that's fine as long as they disclose it or other conflicts of interest. People who send credible threats to people over the internet should get prosecuted, but not in social media, rather in an actual court with lawyers and stuff.
The rest of it's just overheated internet drama. Fun to read about though!
And now for more Boots & Sol cuddling. I hope they will never grow out of this.
They aren't siblings, although maybe they act like it now. I'll post their story today :)
