- Vaccinations explained with zombies – From mrmisconception.

Ugh, why did I read the comments on that article about Zoe Quinn… :(
And yeah, this wall of misogynistic hate is just awful. I am disappointed and ashamed.
Million-dollar business idea that I will never do so feel free to steal it and make millions: Desk accessories that bear the phrase “Don’t Read the Comments.” Mugs, staplers, telephones, and page-a-day calendars in which every single page contains the message “Don’t Read the Comments.”
I am honestly unable to tell what it is they have against Zoe Quinn.
By the reports, it sounds like she may have slept with a game reviewer who never actually reviewed her game. So …
But she’s a “horrible person” for some horrible other (sexual?) thing she did? Or what? I imagine it’s because the moderators are removing the really nasty stuff, but all I see in some incoherent, scattershot MRA rage. Women! Evil feminist! Something!
