Zoey Quinn on Cracked

Cracked... I used to like you a lot. It's absolutely shameful on how far you have fallen.

They're deleting my comments. They deleted my comments. THEY'RE DELETING MY COMMENTS.

You can not have a fair argument about a controversy by deleting comments supporting the other side. You can NOT have Zoey Quinn come in and write an article to defend herself by using the same tired, refuted, and outright buried arguments we've debunked weeks ago. She cited a Kotaku article, for instance. Um. The SAME Kotaku who has a vested interested in keeping your brand of 'feminism' alive?

This is the first time in weeks I've been legitimately angry about this. Maybe it's due to my fond memories of reading Cracked years ago. I've known they've been going downhill for a long while now, but this is absolutely ridiculous. Even the John Cheese incident or David Wong's rampant misandry haven't really touched that same spot.

And they have the GALL to delete my comments for having an objection to what Quinn is force feeding us?  Everything she said in that article was a lie. People don't hate her because she's a feminist. People hate her because she's a fraud, a con artist, and perhaps above all, a liar.

But here comes Cracked, defending this woman for their own gain despite the ever increasing amount of evidence against is already absolutely staggering. The Bell article was bad, sure, but that article almost felt like the users were protesting Cracked's nonsense. I even commented on it.

Apparently, people are only interested in defending Quinn mindlessly if her name is attached to the article. Go figure.

People are still making this out to be all about her. People are still insisting that the only evidence against her is the Zoey Wordpress, despite how a lot of other people have come forward since then about Zoey's professional behavior. People are still insisting that this is about her being a woman, despite the large amount of men being attacked for supporting her.

Cracked is profiting off a controversy in a way that absolutely disgusts me. Zoey Quinn is trying to garner sympathy from a new audience. That also disgusts me.

The only thing I can do, from here on out, is stop going to Cracked entirely. It won't be a hard thing for me to do, to be honest, but it has to be done. There's simply no pleasing these people. The only thing we can do is keep up the good work. We have her on the ropes, I'm sure.  We just have to keep pushing, gathering more evidence, and discussing the topic with communities that aren't close minded bigots.

In the name of Harman...
