![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")

![First off, let me thank you for your very level-headed and rational inquiry. We're always happy to talk about our editorial policies and procedures. Peer (General Manager), Steve (Editor-in-Chief) and I (Publisher) have all been at IGN since the late '90s and we all came up through the content ranks as editors, so we love talking about how we procure, produce and publish content Like you surmised, we do have and follow an internal ethics policy, but it is not currently public. We do list items such as our re- review policy, IGN Deals standards and practices, an explanation of how we review games, etc., but we don't have a centralized place for our overall standards and practices at the moment. http://www.ign.com/articles/2014/02/13/igns-re-review-policy http://www.ign.com/wikis/lign/IGN_Deals_Standards_and_Practices http://www.ign.com/wikislign/Game_Reviews'5] However, this is good timing on your part as this is a subject we've been talking about internally for a bit and we're already in the process of updating IGN with a permanent, public outline of our standards and practices, so look for that soon I also want to let you know about our First Friday program where we invite IGN readers to tour our offices, talk with the editors and ask us anything they want. You can learn more about it here http://www.ign.com/blogs/ereeeek/2014/07/29/igns-first-friday/l6) Thanks again for checking in and know that ethics and professionalism is something that we take very seriously at IGN. We all have a passion for the subjects we cover -- from movies to television, comics to games -but we also understand the significance of our responsibility to IGN's readers, so we hope that comes across in our coverage Cheers, Tal Blevins Publisher, IGN.com](https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/newsfeed/000/857/389/d23.png_large "d23.png_large")

(self,TransSupport) submitted 23 minutes ago by Val_P (We have banned you from /r/gamergate and /r/antigamergate. We did not do this because you are pro-#GamerGate, we did this because you, like most white trans women, show a fundamental lack of gratitude for your allies on the left who have campaigned for social justice for decades. We are the only reason you have any civil rights, we are the reason you have never been thrown into an asylum for your gender identity, and we are the reason you have not been subjected to the pseudo-scientific reparative therapies of the 20th century. We did all this for you, and yet you support the reactionaries who would love to swing you from a lamp post on their fabled "day of the rope." You, as a transwoman, are indebted to us, and the very least you could have done would have been to abstain from this ugly flame war until it passed. Instead, you have decided to reinforce the tokenism of the reactionaries by endorsing them and by participating in their forums. You may not be our shield, but you are our property. We own you. Your very existence is protected by the institutions and laws we have made for you. Never forget this, and in the future, show some f------ gratitude.)(http://www.reddit.com/message/messages/2hzmeg] 3 comments share all 3 comments sorted by: best ▼ [-] Sakurasky912 2 points 7 minutes ago "You are our property" "we own you What the actual f---?
