![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. …………………………....…..……….….....

[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](https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/list/002/691/215/331.png "What the actual f--- are we supposed to do about this")

Game journalism/indie scene is not corrupt; it has, at worst, mild nepotism for exposure, as people tend to write about what they already know about; it's why no-name indies often have trouble becoming known without a well-known benefactor. Sex and money for exposure is definitely not a thing, though, and the main problem with game journalism is not indies. It's that stupid assholes want to keep it the same boring drivel buillshit 'number score reviews" it has been for several decades. The industry is seeing a huge shift, and it's one that is leaving the average s----- channer/redditor in the dust. Zoe's ex did a very very s----- thing by airing all their laundry in public and implying her success was because of f------ around, and channers took hold of it to push back against the evolution of games If you think this 2Q thing is about integrity at all, you're a f------ idiot Logged hum ble 8dmrtion of the ilirmtable superior sprit who reveals hmself in the sight details we are able to perceve ith our frail and My religion consists of feeble mind. “Snoop Dogg Pages: 1.34 15] People like this are not isolated incidents in the game industry and indie game developer community.
