Horrorcow Zoe Quinn / Chelsea Van Valkenburg / Locke Valentine / @UnburntWitch / @Primeape / CrashOverride / Hat Box / Old Uncle Anime - Con Artist, Abuser, Sexual Harasser, Drove Alec Holowka to Suicide.

The man who built the Sarkeesian persona (hardboiled pop culture detective, Jonathan McIntosh) inadvertently holed his creation below the waterline at the same moment that Sarkeesian was poised to use Josh Whedon as a springboard into some kind of equality consultant sinecure.
Now I kind of wish Anita had managed to latch onto Mr. Fivehead, only to watch him drag her down when he got called out by his wife as a cheater who used his position to casting couch hot young actresses. That would have been delicious watching her throw him under the bus to save her feminist cred after spending so much time building him up as King of Feminism.

She did do a 2 minute pitch of a "non sexist" game idea where a princess is captured and then frees herself with her combat ability and puts on non revealing armor to free her kingdom.

The most notable thing in the video is the implication that a video game starring a non sexualized female character would somehow be a groundbreaking new idea in the 2010s.
The video was also a vague plot outline that offered near-zero insight into, you know, game mechanics.
 
She looked like she was going to take it all the way, until acclaimed mega-lawyer Eugene Volklh stepped in. Then Chelsea realized she was playing out of her league and bailed before she could get exposed as a liar and suffer even more embarrassment.
He is not only an excellent practitioner and scholar (it is fairly rare to be both), but a genuine champion of the First and Second Amendments. Eron would have been well and truly fucked without his intervention.
Most of them likely still fear she'll drop whatever dirt she happens to have on them. Even though really she's not got the same level of influence at this point. Alec deciding to delete himself doesn't exactly help encourage people to step up.
Zoe is a generally repellent human being with a literal body count. A definite case of not worth the nutty BPD whore sex.

Bitch, I mained Hilde in Soul Calibur IV
 
I've heard some pretty outlandish rumors that the reason Zoe has pretty much disappeared from the internet save a few scant appearances is her parents reacted very badly to her murdering a man and decided to withhold her inheritance unless she stopped posting inflammatory stuff on the internet and married some guy they arranged for her.

Is this true? I have no idea, probably not. But it would be pretty funny, and a fitting fate.

Any evidence out there?

If you're talking about Alec Holowka who drove himself to suicide thanks to Zoe Quinn's false MeToo claims, then you're a few years late. But if this is all new info, do you have any sources to share to the internet such as Zoe Quinn's parents pissed off about her murdering a man, and Zoe Quinn actually disappearing from the internet? And last I heard, she moved from Los Angeles to Seattle Washington with someone to work on this unknown indie tabletop RPG game Blackbirds.
 
I have no idea why people glomp onto the idea that Sarkeesian or Zoe Quinn came from rich families. Everything indicates that the Van Valkenburgs were poor white trash, do you really think she's be e-begging if she didn't lack income?

Yeah I get that it makes it easier to hate her, but Zoe herself has picked up that rumor from an 8chan post and mocked it years ago. Post the source of the rumors or can it.

It would explain why she's able to make indie games that earn no money while not working.

I wouldn't describe them as white trash. Wasn't her dad a reasonably accomplished motorcycle mechanic? They were not upper crust by any means, but they weren't really methed-up trailer trash either. I believe in Zoe's case the original belief she came from wealth was because there are actually somewhat distant relatives with the Van Valkenburg surname who actually are wealthy, plus just the impression that it sounds like a "rich person name."

Tbh I never had any opinion of Sarkeesian's background and still know absolutely jack about it. All that name tells me is she's Armenian. Fuck Armenians.

Zoe has flip flopped on her upbringing to suit whatever narrative she's trying to go for. I remember there was an article a while back detailing her body mods, and she portrayed her parents as out of touch Boomers clutching their pearls about her microchip. Then when she wanted to present herself as down to earth, she claimed her family were all bikers and she was "practically raised in tattoo parlors."

All I remember about her background (besides her hating video games and realizing she could grift back in college) was when Davis Aurini said she probably trained herself to "smile like a white person". Still an amazing quote from that possible homersexual.

Isn't it more the idea that old Dutch families in the Mid-Atlantic states have an aura of old money about them?

It would explain why someone so utterly uninteresting, unskilled and void of any redeeming qualities managed to get so much free media coverage and make tons of connections despite accomplishing nothing.

They weren't "distant relatives" as far as anyone can tell, people just found some rich people with the same last names. Her "reasonably accomplished" father's motorcycle shop closed decades ago.

Media outlets didn't give her a soapbox because her family was rich, do you think her grandparents wrote checks? That's not how it works. They promoted her because she's a photogenic white woman and the press over-represents crime stories where white women are the victims, because they know it drives more engagement and clicks. Which is why they've ignored similar stories of online harassment where the victims are men, nonwhite, or hambeast women- they know readers aren't interested. The media will selectively promote people when their capitalistic interests align. Zoe needed exposure, and she offered a made-for-Lifetime-movie narrative that they knew would drive engagement. It's the same reason why they didn't care about Anita's kickstarter *until* she started getting death threats
