Max is terrible at his job and only has one because of his Dad but I'm not seeing muchhere. Most of the stuff is "I've heard stories from other people" but I haven't seen any direct accusations. And a lot of the people on Twitter leading the charge would say and do anything for some online relevance.
Reading through some of those texts and listening to interviews he comes across like a spoiled dick. But I imagine a lot of twenty-somethings with family money in Hollywood are the same.
Also that text exchange doesn't account for their relationship. Is this some really close friend of Max or just some casual acquaintance who hit him up for attention? Not to defend the guy but he's probably got some power in Hollywood and I'm sure has a bunch of people trying to be his friend so they can get jobs. Maybe this is just a person who's just been crying to him for years about evil guys and he's tired of her act.
This is just it. It is not some rando claiming Max raped them. It is a bunch of people in the journo/writer/SJW hipster clique flat out WISHING somebody would claim this just so that they could start what appears to be a long incubated Jihad against him.
Honestly while it sounds really fucking stupid and obscenely petty even for these chucklefucks, I am genuinely starting to think this is literally just a continued "revenge" quest against him by the more fanatical clique types for his crime of criticizing REY WHO IS LITERALLY THE FIRST STRONK WOMAN IN FILMS EVAR! back in 2015.
Hear me out here.
We saw with fucking Ghostbusters 2016 how fucking obsessive and pathetic the "woke critic" types and blogger-journos got in defending an embarrassing shitheap, not just trying to claim it was some masterpiece and giving it (briefly) a 90% on rotten tomatoes (now at 80ish), not just declaring all its critics to be icky subhuman misogynurd trash, not just trying to spin its box office bomb as some unqualified financial success...but actively and directly trying to fuck shit up for anyone vaguely high profile who criticised the movie.
Fucking James Rolfe, the most tepid, controversy free, and inoffensive internet critic out there was smeared immediately as a disgustingly pathetic creep when he said "this movie looks stupid so I wont see it" and for months afterwards was lambasted as some fanatically misogynistic monster for this criticism in articles. Hell. right up till the dawn of Trumpocalypse random outlets were still sneering about how scummy and despicable he is

Rolfe is just some fucking internet nurd though. Landis however is one of them, and thus his criticism was not just heresy but a flat out fucking betrayal in their eyes. And ever since he made these criticisms he has been increasingly lambasted and attacked by the clique, right up to this month where two big things have happened.
a) Star Wars 8 came out and despite the usual "STUNNING AND BRAVE SO PERFECT AND IMPORTANT AND PROGRESSIVE AND DIVERSE AND FUCK DRUMPF!!!" crusade by media outlets, the audience was either meh or loathed it, leading to a massive drop in profits after the first 10 days.
b) Max Landis's movie is out on netflix and despite critics despising it, is doing pretty damn well, has a high audience score, and a confirmed sequel by the studio.
In all honesty, I think these two factors have caused some seriously enraged pants-shitting behind the scenes in Zoe Quinn's fringe of the clique, and thus she and her friends are now just frantically throwing shit at Landis to try and sabotage his movie.
Hell, the language of this Daily Beast article on the subject just screams to me that the usual suspects in the journo/writer/SJW hipster clique are out for his blood.
