1. & 3. Well, yeah, perhaps saying "nothing wrong" AT ALL was slightly exaggerating it, but honestly I maintain that she did nothing wrong with regards to the accusations of getting better coverage for her game. Because they are untrue. Because her ex-boyfriend at the time, Eron Gjoni (who likes to make himself out to be the poor, innocent victim but actually posted "information" about Zoe, in the hopes of getting her harassed, on 4chan and other sites on multiple occasions), is clearly a very unreliable source, a man who has done everything within his power to cause her harm. The only "confirmed" affair was with Nathan Grayson, a Kotaku journalist, who never wrote so much as a sentence about Depression Quest. My source for that is Stephen Totilo, the editor-in-chief of Kotaku.

2. If someone thinks that it's OK to resort to sexist insults, you can presume that they probably are sexists themselves, in the same way that if you heard a white person calling a black person "a n*gger" in an argument, with or without context, one would presume that they were probably closet racists to begin with if they were prepared to use an insult like that. And one could go into greater depth talking about systematic, insitutional racism (or sexism in this case), but ultimately the point is that I think it's fair to say that most people who use sexist language are, in fact, sexist themselves.

4. OK, that's fine. Like I say, I haven't played it. Ultimately if it is a believable portrayal of depression I might play it, but a more likely series of events is that I'll forget to anyway.
