I remember WAY back someone posted proof that the Wizardchan thing was basically her harassing herself.
Try here.
To point this out for our guest @yesthatanna -- Wizardchan is a support group for male victims of depression. That's kinda a sensationalist way of saying it, but fuckit, it's true enough, especially given the high standards of honesty Zoe upholds herself to.
One of the ways Zoe Quinn got her start was literally posting harassment against herself on Wizardchan so she could claim she was being attacked by eeevil men. She did this because initially Steam rejected her shitty "video game" (which is literally just a website in a window that talks about her hipster fake version of depression for a while) and this allowed her to pretend to be a victim of harassment, which allowed her to get enough clout to force Steam to let her fake video game be posted on their service.
Others can fact check me on this, as I'm probably off a bit -- this is DEEP internet lore, after all. For example, I've never been to Wizardchan, but from what I understand it's home to what we would now call Incels -- not the "lol Imma gonna insult these men by suggesting they don't know how to seduce whores" version, but stuff like men with autism who know they'll never be normal enough to get married, or quadrapalegic men whose wives left them and their hopes of raising children are now gone. So, a combination of bitching about life, trying to avoid suicide, and grumping about how much better it is for "chads" and women.
But yeah, she's been doing this shit for a long, long time. And that's not even getting into her ruining a game jam, running a fake game jam to steal money, attacking a feminist charity up to and including hacking their fundraising accounts because Zoe feels charity begins at Zoe Quinn's home, et cetera et cetera.
