Understanding the Zoepost Pt 1 | Shifting Blame & Responsibility

NOTE: This video has NO relation to #GamerGate, #NotYourShield, #Quinnspiracy, #FiveGuys, or any other forms of GG activism. This video strongly condemns harassment, and sexual harassment against Zoe Quinn is the very antithesis and enemy of this project.

2nd NOTE: I understand that "Loved" was developed by an indie dev who is strongly pro-Quinn, and it has been brought to my attention that they have a history of harassment. I will not be returning to "Loved" again on this channel. However, I will keep "Loved" uploaded on this video in order to demonstrate the juxtaposition of the developer's views (which enable abuse), and emotional abuse's structure.

For many, the Zoe Quinn's abusive patterns of behavior have been completely ignored. Within the published logs, Quinn shows signs of guilt tripping, shifting responsibility, isolation, and suicidal threats, among many other abusive patterns. Due to the subtle nature of this emotional abuse, Eron Gjoni's experiences have largely been ignored. The focus has become "Five Guys," not "suicidal threats to control a survivor."

This project is about changing the discourse. It is about setting a good step forward, and changing how people approach the Zoepost. And it's about encouraging people to actually read the post, and realize what is happening within the logs.

This is just the first of many videos. There will be multiple parts, examining various forms of emotional abuse that appear within the Zoepost.
