![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")

Zagal <jzagal@ Reply-To: Games Research Network <GAMESNETWORK To: GAMESNETWORK@uta.f The executive board of the Digital Games Research Association publicly condemns the harassment and bullying that some of its members have faced over the last few months due to their work researching and studying videogames. DiGRA is categorically opposed to this kind of behavior About DiGRA DiGRA is an association for academics and professionals who research digital games and associated phenomena.

Web Landers, Richard N. <rnlanders Reply-To: Games Research Network <GAMESNETWORK@ To: GAMESNETWORK Wed, Nov 5, 2014 at 3:00 AM Is there any additional response to GamerGate planned by DiGRA other than these two sentences? I arm specifically curious if there will be a formal response to accusations floating around that DiGRA is the cause of GamerGate, or if that's just being ignored. It seems like DiGRA is at a crossroads in regards to how the gamer public perceives it moving forward (which might influence the ease with which DiGRA members can gain access to gamer communities, or even games companies), so I would personally hope for a somewhat more substantial response. "We're against bullying," while certainly true, also doesn't demonstrate much awareness of what's going on in the gamer community I think there is also an opportunity here to try to actively participate in this broader discussion about gamer culture, which is obviously very important to an awful lot of people. I don't know if that's a common feeling among researchers though, or if ivory tower "wait and see" attitudes will end up ruling https://mail.google.commail/u/2nui-2&iに186300f7c4&viewFpt&cat-DiGRA&search-cat&the 1497d5abb586ac98&siml_1497d5abb586ac98&siml_14984791d0 1,19](https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/newsfeed/000/861/830/adb.png "DiGRA emails about GamerGate")
