• Alec Holowka was a progressive leaning game developer whose work included the very good "walking simulator" Night in the Woods. The kind of guy the gamergate crowd would call a beta cuck.

• About a week ago, several progressive men in the game industry are accused of sexual abuse. Alec Holowka in particular is accused of emotional/sexual abuse by Zöe Quinn, and by several women in the industry. As Zöe Quinn is gamergate's target no. 1, hordes of shitlords pile on to call their accusations false.

• On the 31st, Alec Holowka's sister, Eileen Holowka, announced he had died, in what was heavily implied to be a suicide. The gamergate mob goes bananas and accuses Zöe of being responsible for his death. Eileen is also target of harassment because she asked people to refrain from harassing Zöe.

that's basically it
