Not gonna argue the point here since it would derail the thread. I agree with this. The only reason to post crap like that on Twitter is to form a social lynch mob. Mob justice has always been and will always be a terrible idea. I refuse to use Twitter and social media in general because I think those things subtract from humanity as a whole. Social media just needs to cease to exist.

this is the story of a man who worked with alec, maybe u guys ll be more sympathetic to his story :D ahhh who am i kidding

PTSD seems less like a problem and more like a fashion statement these days.

More victim shaming from the right, how very surprising :D
He was in therapy so I guess he was diagnosed. You one of those people who think depression isnt real either? :D

Any of this is significantly more a humanities issue than it's a "binary" political one.

Besides that, I seriously don't enjoy how Mr. Benson's explains his perspectives here, as he still seems very stressed out from this whole situation, but I guess its his own way to cope with it. Especially the last part from his side of the coin feels a little bit too stressed and personal. And putting aside the general tone, this whole situation seriously has some unconfortably voyeuristic vibes. It also makes me wonder why this whole situations happened now and now years prior or potentially later. Its best for everyone directly involved to stop making a fuzz about it online, this is not for the public to become agitated over.

Lets hope that things will get resolved more sooner than later.

EDIT: Fixed a lot of logic and spelling errors, up to fixing a lot of wrongly picked words that made no real sense. Also I share the sentiment that MadalinStroe states right below this comment, but most of what MadalinStroe says luckily seem to be common practise in order to help victims of sexual assault (refering to his second larger paragraph). I don't think anyone would like making such a situation become this public. If said devs are really this unfortunatly immature, I'm sure this impact become even more severely stressful for anyone directly involved.

Very nice find!

Considering what I've heard about Zoe Quinn in the past, and how this whole thing played out, I was actually siding with Alec Holowka. But after reading the article, some things are clear to me know. All these people are not fully mature individuals. These are all broken infantile men/women-children lacking strong parental guidance, who sacrificed what ever stability they've known, to "follow their dream" by jumping in "hitting the ground running" and "making it happen".

The fact that I know their drama, reminds me why I stopped watching the "news". I'm done filling my mind with the actions of a very small minority of disturbed people. I'm not trying to minimize anybodies drama, but awful things happen to innocent people everyday. The fact that I'm trying my best every day, to not spread negativity around, no matter how much I face, is all the societal involvement that should be expected from me, concerning the situation. I think that spreading "news" about who murdered/abused who, is counterproductive if the objective is to help the victims and prevent future tragedies. However if the agenda is to generate traffic, then it's all business as usual.

You're passing around an article trashing a suicide victim and I'm the 'victim shamer'?

didnt see anything i would classify as trashing in there, you must be quite the snowflake :D
sadly there was the need to go into all this detail from scott benson after the harrasment nitw devs faced after holowkas apparent suicide, for which his victims certainly arent to blame

I'm not the one that got "PTSD" from a "mean person".

BTW... why are you using 'far right' insults? You 'far right'?

They all seem a bit to blame to me... assuming that article can be believe. Then again we can't really hear from the suicide victim.

You know.

'Cause he's dead.

Has any real journalist found a cause of death or even proper evidence of a death such as a report of a coroners investigation?

Having read that Medium article...

A person who goes to social media to air dirty laundry -- about a dead person no less -- lacks honor.

But that seems par for the course with these children.

Tweets from the time Zoe Quinn claims she was abused and held captive by Alec seem to show that she was just staying in his apartment during a trip and was free to move around : https://www.thepostmillennial.com/exclusive-zoe-quinns-allegations-are-falling-apart/ Article shows tweets where the two interact casually with eachother as well as extracts from a podcast where they both appeared, and both of them show no evidence of abuse or even bad atmosphere between them despite being from the time of the alleged abuse.

That's not clickbait enough, nobody cares.

1st off, they aren't all disease ridden but the rate of HIV transmission and those with it is a bit higher in the gay community, if we are to to 100% truthful on the matter.

2nd off, she was against s*icide and said that if she ever "did it" that it should be investigated as she would never do such a thing....kinda strange that it happened after she was about to tell all, now isn't it?

Hey, haven't seen you around for a while. Were you on vacation? On some sunny beach, right?
