you have the right to say whatever the **** you want. if someone shoots you in the face for what you said, thats your problem. last i checked, women have the right to bear arms. why the total lack of face shooting?

[deathfun]

Yes, it's your right to say whatever you want

But that doesn't protect you from the legal system when what you're saying and showing is violating someone else's privacy
Saying "it's your right" seems to imply that you're untouchable and anything someone does to stop you violates that right *when it doesn't*

What an oxymoron

Either it is your right and then legal system cannot touch you or it is not your right and then it can.

Yeah because y'know the word 'exceptions' is a communist conspiracy made to actually diminish our freedom!!

[deathfun]

It's fun watching two natural human rights come into conflict with another
I lean towards privacy winning out here because publicizing someone's sex life male or female has ultimately no point. It's not an opinion or expression (see "Freedom of speech is the political right to communicate one's opinions and ideas using one's body and property to anyone who is willing to receive them"), it's a violation.

freedom is a *****. it gives everyone the same rights, some of those rights are harmful to others. its pretty much a license to be a dick.

There's a good reason why "yelling 'Fire!' in a crowded theater" is such a classic example.

And that's honestly the best thing I've seen Maddox make in years.

Ok, so anyone want to admit they were wrong? Bueller?

Damn. I'm still going to hold off on commenting on this whole ....thing (if I ever do) until some more things shake out, but that is some impressively bad OpSec for the 4chan guys.

[zookeeper]

I saw a link to that elsewhere, but as all things twitter, it's almost impossible to piece together what it's saying and by whom and that the context is, if you don't already know. Looks like some dude who doesn't know how to use capital letters is using Quinn's name and posting chatlogs in which some people hate on her and SJW's because... I guess we haven't seen enough of that so far, or something?

That anyone even considers anything said by Zoe Quinn as having an iota of truth in it is truly mind boggling to me. It's even ironic, given how we are supposed to be skeptic against ms paint screenshots against her but not her grabs.

One of the "most prominent feminine figures of gaming" whose only contribution to the world was a written adventure game using an available engine (she didn't even code). I'm sure all the brilliant women in gaming coding and crafting and managing complex code, art and innovations must be thrilled that this psychopath is their front figure now.

[The E]

Luis, hyperbole does not help you. You don't like her, you think she's acting wrong here, I get that, but "Psychopath"? Really?

Did someone hack your account?

Seriously, we've had our disagreements but that was totally out of character for him.

Also, the ABORT ABORT post was actually viewable in /v/ to anyone.

What makes you say this?

[Mr. Vega]

If he brings up the now discredited allegations she doxxed FTFY or the other classic 4chan lines, the admins need to check the ip he's using. I'm not even kidding (ok, a little bit). Calling her a psychopath? That's totally out of character for him.

[Grizzly]

I'd say he is being genuine, perhaps slightly more angry about something. Here's his twitter feed for possible comparisons.

This thread has been putrefying for about fifteen pages now.  Can anyone give me a good reason why it should stay open?

[Grizzly]

I am not sure if I (or indeed, anyone) can answer that question without further adding to the putrefying.
