![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")

![个[.] tieflingshwarlock 2 points 49 minutes ago It started out as more of a dollar-bet kind of territory, but I think at this point I'm up to being willing to put a solid five, maybe even ten, on CameraLady's Twitter presence actually being one of the guys from the show. All of her Twitter pictures of herself are either the same couple green-background pictures that seem to have all been taken within a few minutes of each other who knows when. permalink save report give gold reply 个[-] TheCamera Lady 1 point just now Those pics of me are from when I actually did videos on the ShortFatOtaku channel, on a greenscreen. That was three years ago. I stopped appearing in the videos because I have gradually lost the ability to speak over time. My condition is getting steadily worse- it will be a miracle if I retain any communicative abilities when I hit middle age Leave it to you ridiculous anti-gamergate bigots and harassers to twist me permanently losing my voice and having my health deteriorate over time into an issue of sockpuppetry. permalink save parent edit delete reply](https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/newsfeed/000/854/697/8f7.png "8f7.png")
