Things are
getting crazy in the SJW and indie gaming community. People who were
long-time allies during GG are now turning on each other. Zoe Quinn
accused an indie game dev of misconduct and named names. Literally,
things are happening as I write this post.
As much as I hate
Zoe Quinn, I am starting to believe her story. The issue is the
accused man (Alec
Holowka) hasn't made a statement denying it. He retreated into
his shell and protected
his tweets. (His
company Twitter is still up.)If someone makes damaging statements
like these, he should have come forward and made a counter statement.
And, he should have hired a lawyer for defamation against Quinn. He
did none of this. If he doesn't come forward and prove her wrong,
his career in gaming is completely over. If Quinn's allegations are
false, and we know Quinn lies, he needs to combat them.
We are already
seeing the fallout. Companies
are cutting ties with Holowka. Given that these “woke”
allies tend to turn out to be creeps, I am leaning toward Quinn's
side for now. These pale/skinny men claim to be woke but are
usually very controlling and abusive toward women. Here the thing;
Quinn could be making this up. We just have to wait and see. Will Alec fall on his sword for the greater good or will he defend himself? Get
your popcorn ready.
Before companies
start deleting and canceling Alec.
