The fact that there are people blaming Zoe Quinn for Alex Holowka’s suicide because she (among multiple others) spoke up about his abuse, but who see no problem with her being flooded with death threats either now or historically, is the epitome of misogynistic gamer hypocrisy.

Also, I am gonna lose my whole mind if I see one more person talking about how, if Holowka really *was* an abuser, Quinn et al should’ve gone to the cops with evidence. I mean, for fuck’s sake, are you NEW?pic.twitter.com/ClQ4HpWxR2

I know it’s real, real hard for some people to accept that testimony from victims and witnesses is overwhelmingly the only or major form of evidence used in abuse cases, that there’s not always a rape kit or video or bruises, but for fuck’s sake.

Jumping back onto my own thread to add: the claim that Holowka only committed suicide *because his victims didn't go to the police* is STAGGERINGLY dumb. You really think he'd have reacted more calmly if actual cops and a legal threat AS WELL AS public opinion were involved? SMDH

Like, I hate to break this to you, but this still would've been big news on social media and elsewhere if The Laws were involved from the outset; Holowka would still have reacted this way, but his defenders would be saying the victims should've handled it in-house, not via cops.

If you're concerned about Holowka's mental health issues, but not the PTSD and mental health of his victims, you're a hypocrite. If you're concerned about legality and proof but are convinced Quinn et al are lying Because Reasons, you're a hypocrite.

Also: literally thousands of dudes have lined up over the years to bombard Quinn and others with doxing attempts, death threats, swatting and hellacious written abuse, yet those same dudes now think it's implausible for anyone to have multiple shitty ex-boyfriends? [stares]

Who on earth said they were cool with Quinn getting death threats? Is there even a single person that has expressed both of these contrasting viewpoints?

Keep in mind, Zoe Quinn pressed charges against an ex-boyfriend for accusing her of abuse in a blog post. She's more than willing to jump through legal hoops to protect her image, but not when she gets kidnapped?
