I just recently looked through this thread, I find zoe and co to repulsive to read much of them. I am too retarded to find the fitting thread for this. It was retweeted by randi:

I had a look on twitter, and apparently she is switching publishers for her book. She was originally going to publish with Simon & Schuster (MAJOR publishing company) but now she has moved to another company, PublicAffairs which is a small, feminist focused print company. Sign of things to come?

PublicAffairs isn't "a small, feminist focused print company." It's an imprint of Perseus Books, which is no Simon & Schuster, but it's not exactly small, either. PublicAffairs also isn't feminist focused. Its focus is on politics and policy, and the magazines The Economist and The Nation have sub-imprints.

One recent release is about the relationship different presidents have had with the intelligence community, written by the CIA member who gave briefings to Bill Clinton and George W. Bush. Not really feminist focused.

But the narrative
 
She reminds him of the happiest time of his life - the one moment that someone approximating a human let him put a bit of himself in them.

White-knighting and being a massive cuck has a notoriously low success rate for consensual copulation. The very fact that he found someone it worked with and isn't still able to get with her must eat at what little of a soul he has left.

She eats at a lot of thing, badumcha!
 
She'd be kinda cute if it wasn't for the hair dye, the glasses that have zero magnification/zero use other than as a fashion accessory, the piercings, the tatts, the wall spackle makeup, the arms legs and general body frame of an axe swinging wood chopping Bulgarian grandmother, and the fact that we all know where that's been.
 
I can never figure out what her arm tattoos are supposed to be.

I think it's supposed to be a bio-organic arm design. She's really into cyborgs. It's why she got a magnet put into one of her fingertips and a chip with Deus Ex on it in her hand (Kotaku covered this for.. reasons). She thinks of herself as a cyborg by clinging to the most basic and intellectually dishonest interpretation of it's definition. By her logic if someone has a birth control implant then they're a cyborg. She should probably stop trying to be more like a robot and put some effort into being an actual human being.

Put your dick back in your pants.

As a male, damn near any woman who isn't obviously insane and might spread her legs is on my to-do list.

Zoe fails on the first count, although she falls into my exception of I'd do her if I could run away fast enough she didn't have a name afterwards.

it's put away. The point of my post was that she has a laundry list of things wrong with her that make her undesirable for any kind of social interaction.

She has a laundry list of orifices in which people can insert their penises.

Sorry, I just point that out any chance I can get, because it amuses me to do it.

She looks fuckable in some of her pics, mainly the third one. But in others she's a mess. Probably playing with makeup, lighting, and angles to make herself look decent the way Ali Rapp does.

It is an imprint, but a small one. That doesn't negate my point - just because its a part of a larger company that doesn't mean its still small, especially in comparison to where it was originally going to be published. It was going to be published by Simon and Schuster themselves, the flagship name.

One recent release is about the relationship different presidents have had with the intelligence community, written by the CIA member who gave briefings to Bill Clinton and George W. Bush. Not really feminist focused.
Calling it a feminist focused print company may not have been accurate, but it is certainly focused on social justice issues and comes from a left-wing perspective. Simon and Schuster is a-political, so the book won't be aimed at a mainstream audience.

The magazines The Economist and The Nation have sub-imprints.
Yes, but a imprint is a smaller section of a larger company, whose focus is on a different market. This particular market is small, its not mainstream. PublicAffairs for perspective only has about 1,600 Facebook likes. For comparison, Simon and Schuster has 115,000.

No it wasn't. The cached version of the book's page on Simon & Schuster's website (the one you yourself linked to) indicates that it was going to be published under the Touchstone imprint. How big is Touchstone? It's so small that it uses its small size as a selling point. From their website: "We are a publishing boutique imprint backed by the publishing power of Simon & Schuster. Our small size means we only take projects that speak to us on a meaningful level."

Calling it a feminist focused print company may not have been accurate, but it is certainly focused on social justice issues and comes from a left-wing perspective. Simon and Schuster is a-political, so the book won't be aimed at a mainstream audience.

It's not focused on social justice issues, though. One of the titles currently on their main rotating banner is a history of champagne. I've already pointed to one of their recent books about the relationship different presidents have had with the intelligence community written by the CIA official who handled briefings for Clinton and Bush. Another title includes a book on the rise of Putin by Garry Kasparov.

I don't have the time to dig through all of their books, though. The publishing industry as a whole tilts left (there's a reason conservatives start their own publishing companies), so I have no doubt they publish a lot of liberal and left-wing projects. However, poking around on their website, it doesn't seem accurate to say that they focus on social justice issues.

Yes, but a imprint is a smaller section of a larger company, whose focus is on a different market. This particular market is small, its not mainstream. PublicAffairs for perspective only has about 1,600 Facebook likes. For comparison, Simon and Schuster has 115,000.

However, Touchstone, the imprint that Quinn's book was originally going to be carried on, has about 3,200 likes. (I'm not sure that Facebook likes are meaningful measures of anything, since there are so many factors involved in how many likes an organization gets that have nothing to do with size.)

Anyway, what you don't seem to understand is that publishing companies are collections of imprints these days. That's how they operate. Even Stephen King, one of the best selling English language authors of all time, is published on an imprint: Scribner, an imprint of Simon & Schuster. It's just how the industry works.
