About

Wrote about Zoe Quinn—plus, namedropped her in another and wrote a third about the game Jazzpunk, where Quinn was a voice actress—without disclosing that she was supporting Quinn’s Patreon. Apparently, the contributions have stopped at some point, but when that happened is not publicly known.
