![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")

![eptember 2014 [edit] This is your only warning, if you violate Wikipedia's biographies of living persons policy by inserting unsourced or poorly sourced defamatory content into an article or any other Wikipedia page again, as you did at Zoe Quinn, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. Talk pages are not exempt from BLP, you have been warned repeatedly not to use talk page space to make unsupported attacks on article subjects NorthBySouthBaranof (talk) 08:42, 21 September 2014 (UTC) a NorthBySouthBaranof First off, this is the wrong template. I removed information I did not add it. Secondly, the information is in violation of WP:BLPSELFPUB's #1 rule: that the text in question not be unduly self-serving. As the text in question is, in fact, unduly self-serving, it shouldn't be used. That's ignoring the WP NPOV issues it has, as well as WP:UNDUE. Titanium Dragon (talk) 08:52, 21 September 2014 (UTC) No, you added unsourced, highly-negative defamatory claims to the talk page As @Gamaliel: just warned you above, that's prohibited. You are not permitted to use a biography's talk page as a soapbox to express your opinions about the biographical subject. If you do not refrain from doing so in the future, I believe you should be topic-banned from anything relating to living people under the discretionary sanctions authorized by ArbCom. You have consistently disregarded the encyclopedia's policies in this matter. NorthBySouthBaranof (talk) 08:54, 21 September 2014 (UTC) Ah, that. See, this is why you don't use templates. Unfortunately, as I noted below, this is in fact cited in Forbes , as you should well know, given that it has been cited in GamerGate on numerous occasions. And quit threatening me; you've gotten yourself into enough trouble already. Titanium Dragon (talk) 09:02, 21 September 2014 (UTC) Perhaps you need to actually read the template: into an article or any other Wikipedia page. That includes talk pages. And no, the accusations you made on that page are not factual, or even well-argued As for my statement, it is not a threat. It is a statement of fact that someone will end up topic-banning or blocking you if you keep violating BLP. NorthBySouthBaranof (talk) 09:10, 21 September 2014 (UTC) It is an attempt to intimidate me. As I noted, the statement was in fact entirely factual. Forbes sources it, as I noted, as do a number of other sources. Zoe Quinn is not a reliable source, especially not on herself. She was engaged in the doxxing of TFYC, as noted by Cinemablend. Forbes notes that the accusations she made against Wizardchan, where she claimed to have been harassed by them, have been called into question and The Escapist edited the article to note that the only source on it was Zoe Quinn herself and as people noted, she gained a lot of press after she was "harassed". That's reality. That is in reliable sources. You have been warned about attempting to censor discussion of this stuff on the talk page before. You should be familiar with these sources, given your participation on GamerGate. Have you even read any of the sources I've linked to? Ever? Because you continue to claim that no sources say this stuff, and yet, a number do. Titanium Dragon (talk) 09:21, 21 September 2014 (UTC) There is no reliable source which says what you said It's not "intimidation" to warn you that you're breaching Wikipedia policy Go ahead, start an ANI thread that claims I'm "censoring" you by deleting unsourced defamatory content from talk pages. See what happens. NorthBySouthBaranof (talk) 09:29, 21 September 2014 (UTC) I just repeated everything I said. I sourced it. What part of it wasn't reliably sourced? Incidentally, you do realize that adding that Cracked stuff is, in fact, a violation of BLP, right? Because it totally is Titanium Dragon (talk) 09:39, 21 September 2014 (UTC) You are now indefinitely topic banned from any edits and discussion related to Zoe Quinn and GamerGate, broadly construed, under the discretionary sanctions imposed by the Arbitration Committee. This ban has been logged at Wikipedia Editing_restrictions. Gamaliel (talk) 15:00, 21 September 2014 (UTC) We are discussing this issue here.

Voting with our wallets makes a good statement towards these people that Gamergate is against Kotaku is already trying to keep traffic to itself by turning it into buzzfeed-tier bottom-level maymay s---, making articles out of random images found on social media if they think it's attention-grabbing enough. They have a temporary answer to stall for time while distracting from the gaming controversy. This might be based heavily on speculation, but if Disrespectful Nod is the only thing that we do, then we're going to lose this battle inb4 "defeatist shill pls go" >inb4 OP can't inb4, hear me out If we want to compare wallets and page views to votes, then we're forgetting about the silent majority of voters. We already have a strong public image, but we lack in the publicity and assured content that Kotaku and the likes have. The holiday season's been discussed here quite a bit, but I don't think that everyone knows just how dire it is. Once Super Smash Bros is on the shelves, people are going to want to read reviews for it. Same with Pokemon or any other hyped game. If they want the information, they're going to go to the most convenient website. If Kotaku gets enough of a spike in traffic that Disrespectful Nod loses credibility, then we lose our main weapon against these sites.

![| Discuss|on]Now you see why #GamerGate matters (self. KotakulnAction) submitted 14 hours For months now you've seen it here and there. "Hategroup GamerGate uses excuse of ethical gaming journalism to harass women out of gaming." "Whatever", you think. Sure, gaming journalism sucks, but that seems like a mess, so l'm not getting involved. Or maybe you don't think gaming journalism is relevant anymore, and your solution is to just not go to any of these sites. Why raise a fuss? Or maybe you thought it was a cause worth getting invested in, but too many bad eggs in the bunch ruined it. Why care? Why put forth the effort? It'il d Now you've seen why it does matter. As many people on KotakulnActi peoplell argue that GamerGate is only just about that, and this attached culture war is only connected in small ways. However, as GamerGate drew on and on, we saw first hand just how far this network spreads. It woke many of us up. I never liked the term "taking the red pill because it seemed to make it more dramatic than it really seemed, but after being exposed to everything, that's exactly what it is. There's a moment in this mess where suddenly, all those more outlandish claims became true, and even went beyond what people said. Many times, truth was stranger than fiction ave learned, this goes far beyond gaming journalism. Some re liars. Th the ir sexual ide ave them believe that the them from ever being successful, no matter how hard they might try. So why bother? Instead, take up arms. Become an army. Become You thought GamerGate might not effect you. You still play good games. You still have fun. Sure, some games might be s---, and launches f----- up, but there's still those gems out there you love. But this isn't just about video games. And you see it noW. You see the tip of the ice berg and you're starting to make all the connections. You might have been surprised at first, finding your way to KotakulnAction, thinking "Why was a thread on 'all? Why are a bunch of gators talking about this?" Then you looked around. You didn't see any harassment. You didn't see any women being targeted. You saw discussions. Debate. Concerns. You saw threads talking about censorship, ethics, science fiction and fantasy books KotakulnAction's days a umbered. This new policy of banning subreddits d assment was the perfect sh it on its way out. GamerGat s been labeled as misogynist harassers from the start, and that label exte KotakulnAction, even though there's never been any proof of this. Do you want to see how easy it is to label this group as harassers? Brianna Wu is a self proclaimed "target" of GamerGate. She spent months trying to instigate GamerGate comments and images. Then, in October, she finally got GamerGate to take the bait. She used a meme generator to poke fun at GamerGate comments, much in the vein of Wu's originals. Some went too f board d several users on 8chan's Igg/ board did what they do best. Shitpost. They flooded the meme generator with trolling it posts. Igg/ was talking about this on thei but most of them we ng her reac the memes, someone, without being asked, posts person eported the elease, and many people called out the post. Within minutes, Wu the f GamerGate t the board's own rules, without anyon r the tweeted tha somehow wa board, and GamerGa afte threats by a newly created Twitter account, that mentioned some of the person labeling GamerGate and 8clh tegroup. Many within GamerGate believe s posted even made the Twitter acc ounce of evidenc f that, but at the same time the n ounce of evidence to support it being the intent of GamerGate possible two, people. No r media outlets copied what they said, and published their own stories. GamerGate had reached some main stream media before this event, but this is the moment when the reach spread far and wide, and even main stream media outlets had GamerGate pegged as a hate group I have found the archived thread where her dox was posted, so you can see for yourself what happened. You'll notice the post containing the dox was removed, because it was deleted within a few minutes (but not before Wu made her Twitter post blaming them), but here's a screenshot of it. You can see exactly where it fit into the thread, and how the thread reacted to it. So now you see how easy it can be to paint a subreddit as a harassment/hate group. All you need is one account, one person, to post something against the board's rules. Reddit claims they will only delete subreddits where their moderators aren't doing what they n to stop these sort of posts, but /gg/ did a good job of stamping out calls to harassment getting smeared on national TV, which is used in Wikipedia as a source to prove GamerGate's a hategroup.
