+'''Zoe Quinn''' is an independent video game developer, comic book writer,<ref name=Bound>{{citen|site=Bounding Into Comics|url=https://boundingintocomics.com/2019/09/12/zoe-quinn-to-write-dc-comics-batman-and-superman-spin-off-the-infected-deathbringer/|title=Zoe Quinn to Write DC Comics’ Batman and Superman Spin-Off The Infected: Deathbringer|by=Trent, John F.|date=September 12, 2019|aurl=https://archive.is/rv8p0|}}</ref> and journalist.{{cite|site=Kotaku|url=http://kotaku.com/5979539/a-beginners-guide-to-making-your-first-video-game|title=A Beginner's Guide To Making Your First Video Game|by=Quinn, Zoe|ret=6 Jan 2015|aurl=https://archive.today/0t4oj|date=28 January 2013}} Her relationships with various members of the video game industry were the starting point for the [[Zoe Quinn Scandal]] and [[GamerGate]]. Video game journalism outlets which covered the topic only discussed the harassment levied at Quinn and mostly refused to address the ethical concerns. This served as confirmation for many that the gaming press was unethical and biased. She has since been one of the main figures decrying GamerGate as a hate group defined by sexism and harassment. Even before the GamerGate hashtag was created, the amount of coverage in support of her and the lack of questioning of her unsubstantiated claims served as evidence to many that game journalism had become unconscionably entangled with the independent development scene.

 : What does this story have to do with GamerGate? When I realized Locke was Zoe, I was disgusted to see she was still playing the same games. Stealing, cheating, lying and claiming to be victimized by anyone and everyone. Maybe she did stab some guy in the face, and maybe in the first week at every new job she had, some guy tried to extort sex from her. Maybe that doesn’t establish an MO on her part. But I know, I did nothing wrong to that woman, and I did not deserve to be lied about. I did not deserve to have my time and my money wasted, and even now, I wonder if opening my mouth about this means she will think of some new horse shit to spread about me to try to ruin my career. And that does seem to be her modus operandi.
