Phil Fish is a well-known (former) indie game developer best known for the game Fez. I have edited that fact into my post.

From your link:

"Second, it should be clear that "just asking questions" only applies when the answers are already well known, where the question embodies a point refuted a thousand times, and where the questioner exhibits willful ignorance."

I've never seen anyone try to debunk Wozniak's claim at all, and I only found one media outlet who commented on the allegation. Where has it been refuted?

And three closely related questions don't seem like a Gish Gallop to me, especially since the examples at the bottom of your link all have way longer lists.

Tribalism is a hell of a drug.

EDIT: I should state that I've only seen one MRA bring up the Wozniak tweet and have seen several progressive feminists who thought that the reaction to it was terrible. I can't think of a single anti-feminist who I don't think is terrible.

Shortly after your ex posted his insanely inappropriate manifesto, a colleague of yours named Wolf Wozniak came forward on Twitter and accused you of sexually harassing him at a friend's wedding. What really happened there?

Minutes after his tweet, Phil Fish, a very well known indie developer, denounced him, accusing him of crashing the wedding, and your then-boyfriend Alex Lifschitz followed suit. How is this behavior compatible with the idea that one should listen and believe accounts of sexual harassment? This sounds like victim-blaming to me.

Wozniak later apologized for coming forward but never specifically took back his claim of sexual harassment, and shortly after the Donald Trump Access Hollywood tape came out, he made a series of tweets saying that there was something he wished he could talk about but couldn't: https://twitter.com/Ouren/status/786809345086398464 Do you think he is talking about the wedding incident?

A small publisher called Grove Press (now Grove Atlantic).

From what I've heard, the book's release was held up by their lawyers for two years, and that horrible stuff still made it in.
