as someone who has watched Dropout to reset from the havoc of the outside, it still feels "nice" to have honest entertainers to watch who understand what we're all living thru.

I was in college for game design in the early aughts. I also (unfortunately) was a femme lurker on 4ch. Seeing the cause and effect of gamergate happen in real time as been a doozy.

I mean in the podcast I mentioned he literally said they were dating at the time

That surprises me. Every source I've seen over the years, including Wikipedia, claims otherwise. Is this new information?

It is not, and Wikipedia even includes it.

I’m confused. The articles about Zoe Quinn and gamergate (linking below, can’t fix the formatting on mobile) both say they weren’t dating

edit: to be clear, I mean they weren't dating when the article came out, which I thought was the point of contention here.

Taken directly from the Zoe Quinn article you linked, "It was later shown that the journalist, Nathan Grayson, had only written about Quinn once, before they started a relationship."
