Social Autopsy:
Wrong Move
Hell is about to
freeze over because I am about to defend Zoe Quinn...a lot.
I can't believe
I am going to say this, but I completely agree with Zoe Quinn on this
issue.
There is this
new anti-bullying website that needs crowd-funding. Check
out their crowd-funding site which is now suspended.
I am not sure if
I want to get all into the bad ideas of this site and I am very
certain I am in that grouping of harassing profiles because of this
blog. I do want to get to Zoe Quinn though.
A sound and measured response.
Zoe spoke her
mind about this project and ironically SA
has attacked her. Does that mean Social Autopsy has to put
themselves in the database? How does a website report on itself?
Here's the
thing, Social Autopsy, Zoe is allowed to have her own opinion
counter to yours. That's what makes us individuals. It bothers me
that SA sort revealed that Zoe was a bit shaken by the notion of
their website and keeps spamming the hashtag Gamergate. Is SA trying
to make a connect to her being a member of GG? Why?
Is it because
she came out against your site? And, then SA decides to throw out
racial slurs as if to make a connection between Zoe and them.
Really?
When the face of
online harassment, like it or not, disagrees with your site, you know
you're doing it wrong. Instead of having a discussion with Zoe about
it, she keeps spamming GG with Zoe's name. Why?
I'll support Zoe
100 times over than a web that is willing to put up kids names under
their website. Sorry, but Zoe has point. While I might not agree
with most of what Quinn stands for or believes, I do have a new
amount of respect for her for taking this stand.
