In August 2014, Quinn became the subject of a massive online witch hunt known as “the Quinnspiracy,” launched by her ex-boyfriend, Eron Gjoni. But unlike Damore, Quinn, who is an independent video game developer, has stood at the losing end of the aggrieved conservative’s standard media strategy. Zoë Quinn knows this playbook better than most. It always seems to end with the white provocateur, who imagines his own persecution, resting easy among the various gatekeepers who, in fact, will persecute anyone but him. As media strategy, there’s a tried-and-true playbook for Damore’s martyrdom, and-whether you’re a disgruntled college professor, a disgraced sheriff, or a modern phrenologist who happens to have tech experience-it always seems to end with a protective embrace among figureheads at Fox News and the like. Peterson, who cast Damore as the latest spectacular casualty of “political correctness.” It’s a classic, conservative canonization. Now a disgruntled former employee, Damore has been pleading his case in interviews with right-wing media figures, including Tucker Carlson, Stefan Molyneux, and Jordan B. Motherboard first reported Damore’s memo on August 4, and Google fired Damore three days later for “advancing harmful gender stereotypes in our workplace,” according to Google chief executive Sundar Pichai. Unfortunately, there may be limits to how people-oriented certain roles and Google can be and we shouldn't deceive ourselves or students into thinking otherwise (some of our programs to get female students into coding might be doing this).” “We can make software engineering more people-oriented with pair programming and more collaboration. “Women on average show a higher interest in people and men in things,” Damore wrote. Titled “Google’s Ideological Echo Chamber,” Damore’s memo outlined the “discriminatory practices” inherent in the company’s efforts to hire more women and minorities along with a theory that women are generally neurotic and disinterested in technological pursuits, hence their underrepresentation in Silicon Valley. In August, Google fired one of its young engineers, James Damore, for circulating a 3,300-word memo about “diversity and inclusion” on a company listserv.
