![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")

![THE TWILIGHT ZONE Ed Regarding recent events moot ## Admin :: 09/18/14(Thu)13:18 48 No 264227139メ画 [Reply] The decision to remove "GamerGate" threads has been poorly communicated, and that's my fault. Said threads are being deleted primanily because they violate our blanket "no personal information /raids/calls to invasion" rule. Spamming the reports system and creating multiple topics were also a factor, especially given is one of 4chan's fastest moving boards and has historically struggled with keeping topics limited to actual video games Regarding a perceived lack of free speech/censorship -many seem to misinterpret my advocating for anonymous communication and highlighting that it allows people to share things they otherwise wouldnt be comfortable with on other platforms as "you can say and do anything on 4chan which smp y isn't the case We've had rules and moderators snce he site was founded 11 years ago and r e only reinforced this statement over the years a la https //archive moe thread 580080#580135 To those who actually want to use I to discuss idya and not a movement that has outgrown 4chan (a la Project Chanology)-apologies for the inconvenience * Lowtax Nov 16. 1999 Ralp posted: :淺 Spanish Manlove and I talked about it and we would like to try a GBS without gamergate for a while. It's not a pleasant thread to have to mod, and everything that can be said about it has been retreaded a hundred times here already. I've considered whether this should just go to one of the Games subforums but I don't think it really belongs there either Remember in Ghostbusters when they shut down the containment unit and then smaller ghosts started popping up everywhere nonstop? Just let this thread be and let it die on its own, and if people want to keep making fun of it, let them do it here. Don't bother modding it, if something terrible happens I'm sure there will be reports for it. I see all those other sites shutting down Gamergate discussion and think that's just as silly as discussing Gamergate. The internet is based on beating dead horses, and some of them are still alive in this race e)(3) Sep 20, 20140120 Profile Post History Rap QUOTE](https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/newsfeed/000/833/385/487.jpg "Twilight Zone")
