Wizchan is notable among cultural critics for being a central drama hotspot of [[gamergate]], a controversy surrounding a woman named Zoe allegedly cheating on her bf and sleeping with multiple game industry people, including her boss, to get her game greenlit, promoted, and well reviewed. Accusations are that wizchan users or Zoe herself (allegedly) put threatening messages on the board directed to Zoe. Gamers made the story of [[gamergate]] to be about the gaming industry being corrupt and the entire industry bending at will to things as minor as a borderline woman offering sex. The media made it about gamers not wanting strong female video game protagonists, as if Zoe's game, "Depression Quest", would have been an asset to humanity. Honestly incelwiki doesn't have time to document this autism, which is documented to death elsewhere. | Wizchan is notable among cultural critics for being a central drama hotspot of [[gamergate]], a controversy surrounding a woman named Zoe allegedly cheating on her bf and sleeping with multiple game industry people, including her boss, to get her game greenlit, promoted, and well reviewed.

Although, some gamergaters did see themselves as [[masculinism|reasserting masculinity back into gaming]]. | |||
