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

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

Xbox Dev's now really on board?

IMADE THIS LAUNCHTEAM20" #GAMERGATE Xbox guy here again. Me and a large part of my work colleagues support #gamergate. We work to create an amazing experience for our customers, for the gamers, and irn return we are branded as misogynists, fat, neck-bearded creeps by these so-called journalists'. Yes, almost all of us here in this studio are gamers We, on a personal level do NOT approve of these websites (which, at the end of the day, make money on our work) and their biased articles and lacking ethics. Note that this is not my company's official stance on this matter. Some developers from the industry have already made public remarks regarding this (hats off to you guys), but our company hasn't issued an official stance, and will most likely not do so any time soon. However, we are all with you. This needs to end now. Because game journalism, as we know it, is dead. Please do not engage in harassment by means of physical threats or other illicit ways. Not only is it illegal, but also shows a lack of reasoning and intellect on your behalf. Beat them with words and facts, not with doxes. Share this if you want, and keep fighting for the truth!

I looked at the guys Twitter feed and he gave a half-hearted/assed apology later. He finished it with th implication that people fighting for Gamergate were wasting their lives. I don't know about you but I'm not insulting my source of income.

It's a logical fallacy called the the fallacy of relative privation. Besides the obvious hiding behind worse problems to deflect criticism, it implies that it's impossible to think about both problems at the same time or split time and resources towards both fronts (and didn't 4chan have their TFYC money go to cancer research? There goes his strawman!).
