I'm an old man, and sites like Vice are blocked at work, so I'm having trouble following what the fuck is going on at the moment. I'd really appreciate if someone could let me know, as neutrally as possible:
1) What the argument about Zoe Quinn is? I've vaguely heard what she's done, but I'm not sure why it warrants a 300 page thread on this forum.
2) What constitutes a "Social Justice Warrior"? My impression was that they're guys/gals that argue for equality, but the hatred they get makes me think otherwise.
3) Who is Vivian James/what's the point of it?
4) Why are FYC seemed to be heroes, when what they seem to be doing is SJW on a more organised scale?
5) Where 4chan come into all of this?
If you don't want old fuds blocking up this thread, feel free to private message me, but this has all blown up and I have no idea what's going on.
OT: The character looks cool, but I have no idea as to it's relevance. How does it "take down all feminists" exactly? Why are feminists the enemy? I'm so goddamn confused.
Sjws are armchair activists, by and large, this site should make it easier to understand (I hope, just check the pictures at the worst, that's where the crazy is)

Further more they aren't for equality, never assume they were. They have their idea of it but frankly it's a lot of twisted, cancerous thinking.
THe Zoe quinn thing was a large case of The Streisand effect mixed with decided to settle out of court, her former boy friend wrote up a word press ... thing about he suspected she had sexual relations with some big game journos. Then people started getting banned for it (even on 4chan man, m00t = kill), MundaneMatt who did a pretty even handed video got a false DMCA claim filed against him and people got mad.

Vivian James was /v/ making their own character for the TFYC project, turned out nice. /pol/s her uncle though, that's weird.
Again, this site pretty good on the neutral meme recording http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/vivian-james
The TFYC is better then the SJW I've seen or heard about, they showed up on a couple web radio shows and were on about how thy planned on giving both women experience in the industry and supporting the devolpment of the industry in semi 2nd world countries.
It is fantastic, Zoe's talked some shit to them and they went down,
Here's some of their side of the story
and in soundcloud form

I don't have the other side of the story but someone will be along shortly to drop of the imgur thingy it's in.
Further more organization is key, sjws do nothing but whine and attack people, TFYC gets shit done, they create things and they don't lambast everyone with cries of check your privilege or something stupid like that.
4chan came into this because mods began to nuke threads with ZQ or GG (including guilty gears threads) ham-handly. /v/ got mad and then /pol/ handed them an idea, they pointed to TFYC and with /v/ they raised a but ton of money for them. They made Vivian in a pretty based thread together, taking input from quite a lot of /v/irgins and /pol/lo...( wait that's racist can't say that here).
Further more, when m00t declared open season on GGers we migrated to 8chan, (well I did becuase /tg/ hada shitty mod and was filled with nothing but quest and coya threads, along with some pretty easily "triggered" sjw anons.)
This thing split 4chan for a bit and perhaps longer, 8chans pretty darn great; not a lot of young jerks running around swearing because it's edgy, multiply pics, .webm support, better mods, custom board creation, it's great.
Feminists come in because SJWs are a part of the 3rd wave rad fems, crazy buggers, which is okay by rad fems, temperance had those bar smashers and women's lib had S.C.U.M. ('nough said) but they are also more popular then each of those movements.
What they represent is not a Egalitarian movement (I my eyes as a former feminist [not as bloody ally, I swear to the heavens above]) it's a supremacist movement. #killallmen and the like are the sorts of things that come out of this area.
On the other hand, other feminists came out to support these events pretty evenly, Christina Hoff Summers is for most amongst them, but I wouldn't say all or really much of feminism has really shown up just a host of cat's paw rad fems and a hand full of egalitarian feminists.
