![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")

![O The Leader of Gamergate 10/20/14 (Mon) 19:19:54 ID: 8685a1 No.218823 File (hide): 1413857994889 ipg (5.93 KB, 200x200, 1:1, 3456345634563.jpg) 218883 2 219497 219579 I'm not going to help you. I'm old. I don't play video games anymore. And I'm too f------ tired to personal army. But it's clear you kiddos need some direction I can't believe what I'm seeing with people going after PR accounts and flooding contact forms. DO YOU THINK ANYBODY GIVES A S---? Jesus Christ, You guys remind me of clueless babyboomers letter-writing to their senators and then acting exasperated when gun control passes. YOU CLEARLY DO NOT KNOW HOW TO PLAY THIS GAME Even if you guys DID buy Mercedes, which I highly doubt ANY of you are in their target market, a frustrated consumer boycott NEVER shows up in their sales analytics. You are always way too small to make a dent in their income Boycotts are only good for getting headlines, WHICH NOBODY IS GIVING YOU! If you really do want to go after advertisers, don't flood their contact forms. FIND OUT WHO THEIR CORPORATE CLIENTS ARE! Mercedes has corporate accounts. BMW has corporate accounts. Any company that has Business to Business marketing is f------ PARANOID about losing a single large client. Do you know the sales rep of a large client often doesn't let ANYBODY ELSE in their ENTIRE company speak to their client without clearing it through them first? They f------ walk on egg shells around their clients. Even if the client contact emails you, a lowly admin person just asking a stupid question about some stupid spreadsheet, you have to clear it through the main sales rep before you reply, or else you'll likely wind up getting a stern lecture. The LAST THING they want is some lowly customer service rep or account manager giving a stupid answer, or not knowing some special arrangement they had, and making them look stupid in front of a client. A loss of a single client can determine whether they are going to vacation in Bali next summer, AND THE STARS AND MOONS CAN COLLIDE IF THEY CAN'T VACATION IN BALI NEXT SUMMER! Why do you think SendGrid sacked Adria Richards? And then did the completely unprecedented and illogical action of publicly posting of her firing on their social media accounts, possibly violating laws in the process? It WASN'T because neckbeards were flooding their contact form. Which she was happy to antagonize twitter trolls while they were doing so. But in the wee hours of the morning /b/tards decided to flood their CLIENTS contact forms. And then as soon as all the salesfaggots, account managers, and c level execs showing up to work they had their phones ringing off the hook and emails blowing up of "WHAT THE F--- IS GOING ON OVER THERE?". Honestly they probably could have waited it out a few days, the IT could have fixed their servers in a few hours. But what are you going to do with literally everybody in the company looking at the CEO saying "DO SOMETHING F-----! Get organized. Find out who their clients are. Don't get specific, just say "do you know they support bullying nerds? Everyday kids kill themselves from bullying and I can't believe anybody would support this. I'm notifying all of your customers too if you don't switch your support. What is their response going to be? They are going to forward that email to their Sales Rep and say "what the f--- is this? Do you know I got a 1,000 of these this morning? Fix this s---!" And with a thousand emails and phones calls flooding in, it doesn't matter how many SJW PR and marketing goons they have saying "b.b.b.ut Social Justice..b-but neckbeards... virgins Honestly it doesn't even matter if they are a client. Just start messaging anybody in their target market not to do business with [insert clickbait blog advertiser here]. A large international company has literally every single potential customer in their sales CRM. Every single engagement a sale rep as ever had with them. Phone calls. Emails. Automated marketing programs. Names. Position titles. Contact info. Every time they make a hit on their website. You name it. It's all recorded and tracked. Do you think they want a group of a dozen neckbeards emailing them all telling them not to business with them? No, they don't want a dozen. And they especially don't want a thousand, or 20,000 or whatever you guys have. That is f------ DETRIMENTAL to their sales cycle DO RESEARCH. Search through press releases. Search through google. Search through lexis nexus. Search through their own s----- blog. Company A is looking for mining contracts in Asia? Email all the mining companies in Asia "don't do business with company A, they are literally shitlords!" You have more power than you think. Use it. Research. Organize. Coordinate. Plan. And good luck. F--- these liberal SJW f------. BTW, I'm not white and I'm a girl](https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/newsfeed/000/851/441/a03.png "a03.png")
![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. Titanium Dragon (talk) 20:00, 22 September 2014 (UTC)](https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/list/000/834/849/773.png "Willfully ignoring WP:BLPSELFPUB from Wikipedia editors and ignoring Forbes as a source")
