igd aTHEAE OF THE BUNGLED BLOCK BOT Good news, everybody! Unlike most people the IGDA is totally anti-harassment, and they're here to help! ate Edwards (IGDA) The @IGDA's Anti-Harassment Resource is online and availablel Let's hope as few people as possible need to use it igda.org/news/203610/On "Who the hell is the IGDA" you ask? Good question. Let's check out their about page world serving all individuals who creste games Mission: To advance the careers and enhance the lives of game developers by connecting members with their peers, promoting professional development, and advocating on issues that Oh, cool! So they help out game devs and connect them with their peers! Sounds helpful I wonder what kind of anti-harassment resources they're providing I guess one of them is a Twitter block list. I could see why you might want to block known harassers I wonder who's on the list FartToContinue PlayDangerously roguestarganez cze4r RealvivianJanes Oh. I guess when they said "some of the worst offenders in the recent wave of harassment" they actually just meant "people who have spoken positively of #GamerGate" But wait, there's more! It turns out that's not the whole list. The list is mostly comprised of the thousands of people who follow two or more of those accounts GG auto blocker sers Rdoesnt look a so they'l probably naar road thi README and gue thot pan out I'm not sure why a block list based solely on who people are following is somehow considered better than one that would take bios, hashtag use, or basically anything a person has actually said into account, but luckily that's enough to protect you from such vile cyber terrorists as: @GMShivers: o.4K 2 6628.24 Jennifer D'aww Known misogynist and female game developer whose crimes include such atrocities as not really digging the current state of games journalism and drawing plants with faces. Day Leftu Surely this is some sort of thinly-veiled Ringu-esque death threat. @siloraptor Roberto Rosari Chairman of IGDA Puerto Rico and... Oh, whoops. Well I'm sure he deserved it somehow. He is a man after all Randl Harper If the Puerto Rico chairman of IGDF didn't want to be on the blocklist, he probably shouldn't have followed known harassers of women The creator of the block list totaly not victim blaming Thank goodness for mental gymnastics! @kfc: -697K 18. te The noas betveen re Because... meat is murder, I guess? I don't know Also a s----ton of accounts with zero tweets: Because Schroedinger's harasser is real, and he's currently on Twitter... not really doing much of anything

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
