Acsenray:
But let’s look at the bare bones facts of this one case. Chloe Dykstra was in an abusive relationship. She got out of that relationship. She wrote a piece exposing her abuser. As a result, the public will have a better idea of what kind of person Chris Hardwick is and whether or not they want to enter into professional or personal relationships with him. It doesn’t seem to me that this series of facts should result in any criticism of Chloe Dykstra.
Your concern for Ms. Dykstra, and abuse victims everywhere, would feel a lot more genuine if you hadn’t tried to tear down Eron Gjoni (the man who’s expose on an abusive ex later sparked gamergate) for doing the same thing and dismissed his abuse out of hand.
I actually took a look at the original post by Quinn’s ex that started the whole thing. I felt dirty doing it but at this point I don’t think I can hurt her more than she has been hurt and I really wanted to try to understand the situation.
**Well, I didn’t get too far before I started to regret it. What a pathetic piece of shit that post and its author was. **
**Airing so many loads of private, dirty laundry—and every word of it utterly uninteresting to anyone with a life—with such an air of high-handed self-righteousness. **
There’s no justification for it. And there’s even less justification for the mob that then gleefully tore down Quinn’s life and threatened her, her job, and her home.
I hope the people who perpetrated those outrages get tossed in jail, like the ones who did it to Sarkeesian.
Who are these people who are allowed to exercise so much power when they have no sense of proportion, responsibility, or maturity?
Honestly, why is Dykstra worthy of your sympathy while Gjoni is, in your words, “a pathetic piece of shit?”
