The GamerGate movement is actually making me feel like such discussions may finally be brought to the table in the name of open and progressive discussion now that the "SJW brigade is showing it's true colours Show less Reply . 9 éタ!

NOTHING HAS F------ CHANGED 10
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

X Journalists would make claims of people like Anita Sarkeesian "playing video games all her life" when she openly admitted many times she is not a gamer and only starter recently (when it wasn't for an interview). Various developers trading sex or money for good reviews got exposed, journalists who accepted got exposed. People became a bit more critical about supporting a game just because the developer has a victim complex stating tat their game could have only failed because of sexism, instead of their own poor developing skills. What really sealed the deal was opposition often faking their own harassment. Anita sarkeesian and Zoe Quinn have been caught multiple times screenshotting "harassment" while showing that the harrasser's account name in the login. Or when someone called the police to help Sarkeesian against a "very real threat" she was posting about, only for police to find the harasser's messages were coming from her IP address. I just want honesty from the community, and the lies were mostly exposed by the "dreaded" gamergate. 1.3K views • View upvotes 26

I didn't want to make the comparison, personally, since I was worried maybe some would feel I was exaggerating (we already get some people commenting on the main page how they feel the "war and military" comparisons are overblown), but really I feel he is not wrong. The way gamers are being treated now by certain parts of the media really does remind me a lot of how Muslims and Middle Eastern people were treated after 9/11, especially after I saw some people outright comparing all pro-GG people (or even all gamers in general) to "terrorists."

To a lesser degree I've seen some people out there (like Sam Biddle) basically act no better than your typical grade school bully, treating gamers as "nerds" who "deserve to be bullied," and as someone who was bullied back when I was younger I, frankly, don't want to put up with that kind of shit as an adult.

Sorry in advance for the rant but I have got to get this off my mind:
Evil people have a knack for turning something good and just into something twisted, destructive, and hateful. The swastika is a sacred symbol in Hinduism that symbolizes prosperity and goodness. Hitler and the Nazis turned the swastika into a symbol of racial and nationalistic supremacy and ended millions of lives to prove it. ISIS and Al Qaeda, regarding all of the evil they have done… have brought much harm to peace-loving Muslims. Thinking this, I feel for Shahbaz. Feminism was once something good in a sense that the ideology desired to fully realize the rights and invaluable potential of women. I like to believe that they have made great successes in doing so. Now the Feminist movement today has been twisted and mutilated to reveal something monstrous and nefarious…
