![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")

![Anti-GG here-I have some questions. (self.KotakulnAction) submitted an hour ago by thoraway-GG-question I am not looking for you to change my mind, I just want to hear some answer from you. 1) Can you provide proof of harassment of GGers based on the fact that they are GGers? 2) Why is it that when a feminist such as ZQ or AS get harassed, you call it a false flag? 3) What is 4chan's involvement with the GG movement? Did they create it and #notyourshield? Thanks. 34 comments share all 34 comments sorted by: best ▼ [-] Meowsticgoesnya 37 points an hour ago* 1. Yeah: here's a tumblr full of them http://gamergateharassment.tumblr.com 2. Most of us don't, although we do feel their pinning it on an open hashtag that any body can be in is immoral. We've also seen a few people purposely posting harassment on 8chan and then admitting to it in the same thread that they are going to use it as proof we hate women, without them realizing 8chan threads have IDs. 3, 4chan has very little power over #gamergate and #notyourshield. The starter of #notyourshield was accused of being a sockpuppet account, but provided proof he was real. Oddly enough, the account that accused him of it, A_Girl_Irl was actually a legit sockpuppet made by a male SA goon who was very anti-gg. The starter of #gamergate was Adam Baldwin. I doubt 4chan has power over him or Reddit. Also, the irony in a sockpuppet woman account accusing a real minority of being fake is hilarious. permalink -] katix 17 points an hour ago* Sure thing First let me say you are welcome to your opinions and we wont chastise you because of them 1. http://gamergateharassment.tumblr.com/ A complete log of any attack that happens 2. In alot of ways the attacks were questionable and we have our doubts, so we report and get rid of them and expect they are false flags from a 3rd party trol 3, GG was created by Adam Baldwin, #notyourshield came from a game developer who had just had enough, he was doxxed and people called his work and had him fired. 4chan was one of the only sites that let us discuss this issue before it was censored you can see more on him from here http://gamergate.giz.moe/2014/09/creator-notyourshield-shadowbanned-reddit-youtube reddit-censorship-minority-voices/ ANy other questions ill be happy to answer permalink [-] robobeau [score hidden] an hour ago Just be sure to open a window when cutting up your opinions, to mitigate the sting in your eyes. :B permalink parent [-] katix [s core hidden] an hour ago oh wow, totally missed that lol permalink parent -1 savionen 8 points an hourago* 1) I will leave to someone else, however I've personally received a lot of harassment. 2) There are trolls on both sides, who's only intent is making this situation worse. It's very possible that one of my harassers (who released personal information and also claimed to be pirating my game) was only a troll and did not really represent anti-GG. People like ZQ will also take confirmed trolls and retweet their messages, instead of just saying they're a troll or ignoring them. Brianna Wu admitted to making sockpuppet accounts to make GamerGate look worse, so it's hard to trust a lot of what she says. 3) 4chan apparently talked about sockpuppeting #NotYourShield, but it was created by a black man on Twitter. I'm not sure how many people actually went through with it, I personally know tons of women and minorities in #NotYourShield (my wife inclu 4chan's /v/ was one of the mai o discuss GamerGate because discussing in the major gamingr something like 20 ts would ge owbanned. 4chan' s/v/ help The Fine Young Ca lists, a group that helps women get o the game industry. Gamergate was then banned from 4chan, and they migra o 8chan. Any sort of direct or indirect i ement with 4ch ende ew weeks ago.](https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/newsfeed/000/847/929/bdc.png "The evil misogynerds respond to dissent")
