Journalists and the people blaming Gamergate will never admit that if they had just held Zoe accountable for being an abuser and maybe even the people that they slept with apologized to Eron for even indirectly helping Zoe abuse him, they could have diffused this whole situation. At the end of the day, they let Milo and Bannon swoop in and acquire a new audience because the alternative would be listening to the criticisms, disavowing Zoe's behavior, and admitting they were wrong.
Seriously, any time these shitheads bring up gamergate, they should be forced to admit that Zoe was a liar and an abuser, otherwise they can't even begin to have an honest conversation.
