NOTHING HAS F------ CHANGED 10

Gamergate (harassment campaign) Article Talk From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia For other uses, see Gamergate (disambiguation). Gamergate or GamerGate (GG)[¹] was a loosely organized misogynistic online harassment campaign and a right-wing backlash against feminism, diversity, and progressivism in video game culture. [2][³] It was conducted using the hashtag "#Gamergate" primarily in 2014 and 2015.[1][4][5][6] Beginning in August 2014, Gamergate targeted women in the video game industry, most notably feminist media critic Anita Sarkeesian and video game developers Zoë Quinn and Brianna Wu, among others.[7][8][9][10][11] The harassment campaign included doxing, r--- threats, and death threats.[12][13][14] Gamergate proponents ("Gamergaters") stated that they were a social movement, but lacked well-defined goals, a coherent message, and leaders, making Gamergate difficult to define.[15][16][17] Gamergaters claimed to promote ethics in video games journalism, claimed to be protecting the "gamer" identity, and opposed what they asserted as "political correctness" in video games.[18][19][20][21][22] Read Date Target Gamergate, online harassment campaign in 2014-15 that targeted women in the video game industry. The attacks were attributed largely to white male right-wing gamers who railed against the rise and influence of women and feminism in the industry. Gamergate served as a recruiting tool for the growing alt-right movement and helped spur the online “Pizzagate" conspiracy theory, which soon spawned the wider QAnon conspiracy movement. …………………………....…..……….…..... Attack type Victims Motive View source Inquiry XA 28 languages ✓ Perpetrators Internet trolls, particularly from 4chan, Internet Relay Chat, and 8chan View history Tools ✓ Gamergate August 2014 - 2015 Women in the video game industry See all media Online harassment campaign Zoë Quinn, Anita Sarkeesian, Brianna Wu, and others Gamergaters created conspiracy theories falsely accusing Quinn of an unethical relationship with video game journalist Nathan Grayson.[23][24][25] More broadly, they alleged unethical collusion between the press and feminists, progressives, and social critics.[17][26] [27] These claims were widely dismissed as trivial, conspiracy theories, baseless, or unrelated to actual issues of ethics in gaming and journalism.[28] [29][30] Gamergate supporters frequently denied that the harassment took place, falsely claiming it to be manufactured by the victims.[31][32] Misogyny anti-feminism anti- progressivism FBI investigation Gamergate has been described as a culture war over cultural diversification, artistic recognition, feminism in video games, social criticism in video games, and the social identity of gamers.[28][33] [34] [35] Many supporters of Gamergate opposed the increasing influence of feminism and so-called "social justice warriors" on video game culture. [2][36] Gamergate led figures both inside and outside the gaming industry to focus on methods of addressing online harassment, ways to minimize harm, and prevent similar events. [37] [38] [39] [40] Gamergate has been viewed as a contributor to the alt-right and other right- wing movements.[21][41] Video game developer Brianna Wu

Author has 304 answers and 740.1K answer views. 5y Not that I care that much either way, but it did expose a lot of corrupt game developers and game journalists. X Journalists would make claims of people like Anita Sarkeesian "playing video games all her life" when she openly admitted many times she is not a gamer and only starter recently (when it wasn't for an interview). Various developers trading sex or money for good reviews got exposed, journalists who accepted got exposed. People became a bit more critical about supporting a game just because the developer has a victim complex stating tat their game could have only failed because of sexism, instead of their own poor developing skills. What really sealed the deal was opposition often faking their own harassment. Anita sarkeesian and Zoe Quinn have been caught multiple times screenshotting "harassment" while showing that the harrasser's account name in the login. Or when someone called the police to help Sarkeesian against a "very real threat" she was posting about, only for police to find the harasser's messages were coming from her IP address. I just want honesty from the community, and the lies were mostly exposed by the "dreaded" gamergate. 1.3K views • View upvotes 26

Game Journalism for Dummies

Game Journalism for Dummies 1.) Major in Journalism with a minor in Gender Studies 3.) Use your Gender Studies lense to find every single non-issue in a game 4.) Write article complaining about the biggest non-issue you can find in the game, demanding the non-issue be "fixed." 5.) If the gaming company caves, cool, move on to the next game and start over from step 3. If they don't cave, move on to step 6 6.) Choose "marginalized" community and use your Gender Studies lense to figure out how the non-issue "harms" that community 7.) Write article accusing the gaming companies of being "bigots" for their refusal to "help" the marginalized community 8.) Label any criticism of you as "hatred of the marginalized community" 9.) If anyone from the marginalized group criticizes you, call them sockpuppets or accuse them of having internalized (insert 'ism' here) 10.) Collect money from rage clicks, move on to next game, and return to step 3 Brought to you by: The Game Journos "We hate you, and we like it that way."

What causes the divide? Anonymous 03/19/19(Tue)16:55:34 No.455109640455109869455140765 (OP) P> This is an interesting question, and I think it has to do partially with journalism as a profession. Journalists like to claim, nowadays, that all games are inherently political, which is obviously untrue. There's nothing political about Tetris, or Super game than the creator intended. Sure, you could write a bunch of articles about the gameplay mechanics of the latest AAA game, but what about its POLITICAL message? If it doesn't have one already, you can just invent one Obviously, there are exceptions. Some games, like that last Wolfenstein game where B.J's dad had the Trump hair, are transparently political in an obnoxious, ham-fisted way. Other games, like Deus Ex, are also very political, but present their political messages intelligently. However, most games today keep their politics outside the game itself. You could play Overwatch, for example, and have no idea which characters are and aren't gay (I don't see sexuality as a political issue in and of itself, but it's often used as one). But if you read all the background material, you can figure out who's a crypto-lesbian and who's not. They don't directly inform you via gameplay, but they get progressive points anyway by telling people about is that plenty of games will be retrofitted with politics, either by the developers or the slimy world of gaming journalism, which creates the divide. Players don't analyze the game politically because they're busy playing it, journalists do because they wearit io Int you in click ni I Îİ Kliai įiclen, aari:1 If tTK2liai įlcles i ar.alx>ut pnlitlt .

Mark Judge debunks Anita Sarkeesian

THU. JULY 23 Culture Why Gamergate is Really About Political Correctness By Mark Judge I don't think Anita Sarkeesian knew what she was getting into. Sarkeesian is the thirty two-year-old feminist who has gained notoriety through Feminist Frequency, a website and social movement that criticizes violence and misogyny in video games Sarkeesian has become a lightning rod in the gaming community. After raising over 150,000 on Kickstarter in 2012 to launch a video series, Tropes Against Women, which analyzes video games, Sarkeesian experienced online harassment from gamers, including death threats. The attacks on Sarkeesian are disgusting, sad, and intolerable nd media have spent a lot of time covering her experience of harassment. What the media hasn't covered in detail is the fact that gamers have absolutely demolished Anita Sarkeesian's arguments. Her first argument is also the most general: that video games are violent and misogynistic. Over a year ago I became the video game reviewer for the Catholic News Service, a media organization that, as you might expect, does not approve of violent and sexist video games. Playing games every week and reading the gamer media, I discovered that the gaming industry is as diverse as American culture itself. There are games about war and stealing cars, but also games about puzzle-solving, heroic quests, and making friends. There are games that are anti-war and games that are artistically stunning, and games about just living life. One of my favorites is still the first game l reviewed, Olliolli, which allows players to do fun skateboard runs. In short, saying "video games are violent" is about as accurate as saying "books are violent." There's just too much diversity in the field to generalize. Almost anyone can find a game tailored to his or her taste, and any trip to the local GameStop store will reveal the cornucopia of options. Yes, some games are violent. Some are misogynistic. And responsible people can have discussions about the effect that too much gaming has on the human soul and psyche -as well as what good games do. Yet Sarkeesian's arguments are overly broad, deceptive, and full of specific errors. Gamers have pointed this out in great detail, and are still caricatured in the media as unintelligent, pajama-wearing mouth breathers. One of the sharpest gamers to respond to Sarkeesian is a kid who calls himself Mr Repzion. Mr. Repzion in a lifelong gamer, and on his YouTube lhe has posted several responses to Sarkeesian that are detailed and well researched. (They also contain occasional bad language.) Repzion was particularly exasperated at the errors Sarkeesian made when she recently attended E3, the Electronic Entertainment Expo Also notable is gamer and YouTuber AlphaOmegaSin. He has posted lengthy and rigorously detailed videos highlighting Sarkeesian's mistakes. When a self-appointed social justice warrior recently accused Nintendo of being racist because the hand that appears on one of their video games is white, AlphaOmegaSin justifiably went nuts. Other old-school print and online journalists and critics have also destroyed Sarkeesian's arguments. When Sarkeesian said that the game Doom 4 shows the brutal sawing in half of a body, journalists responded that the violence was against a fantastical demon, not a person, and only lasted a few seconds. When Feminist Frequency objected that part of the game Fallout Shelter involved impregnating women, people who had played the game pointed out that the sex was consensual and was in fact only a minor part of a game about surviving in a post-apocalyptic world Critics have noted that even games that gi not enough for feminist Sarkeesian. One journalist got so frustrated with Sarkeesian's drive-by criticism (she doesn't allow comments on the videos she posts to her site and he often goes on blo she would simply debate him. The offer Social justice warriors like Sar shame critics by appealing to emotion, bul guilt opponents i option to p male or female are ing sprees) tha offered $10,000 to a charity of her choice if Il on the table n usually win by following a pattern: raise a s a lot of rage and personal hurt, then move cquiesce e made Anita Sarkeesi ext target. But gamers' coge requency irreleva arguments and Femin Gamers keep gaming, and game makers keep making games. The controversy i bbing, and soon the name Anita Sark As for me, I'm looking forward to playing Dark Souls I sian will be a foot n pop culture history 192
