![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")
Moar:
![throwaway92u589 S] 42 points 1 day ago OK, here goes. I've been posting on 4chan for almost a decade. Range bans never, ever happen on 4chan. moot used to be too worried about innocent users being caught in the crossfire. The only other case I can remember where someone was range-banned was a Russian who was spamming CP non-stop on /tv/. My crime? Making about ten copy-pasted threads on /v/, insulting the moderators for their atrocious handling of #GamerGate I remember when I first posted on 4chan. Even though the layout is terrible, the freedom was a breath of fresh air from other sites. It was great being able to post whatever was on your mind without having to worry about stepping on eggshells, without having to worry whether or not your opinion would be discarded because you are new, or because some irrelevant post you made a long time ago would be dug up and used against you to make you look silly And although it gets a bad rap, 4chan has worked together to accomplish a lot of great things. Showing up for an old man's birthday party, sending cards and love to people in the video game industry, protesting scientology. And with GamerGate, 4chan led the charge to expose corruption when all the other sites were working their asses off trying to censor everything Now look at what has happened recently: * The feedback page has been removed GamerGate threads are being deleted without any reason given. People asking in IRC are being instantly banned without any reason given. Moot isn't answering any of his e-mails. Now, they are range-banning people who have a problem with all this, even though it punishes innocent users who don't even know about #GG. For whatever it's worth, my threads were pretty mean. GamerGate is personal to me, because SJWs have bullied two of the peopleI respect the most in the industry off the internet by threatening to slit their wrists over a fictional character saying "trap." I really, really want the harassment and attempted censorship of developers to stop If moot gets wind of this, he will probably say I am a long-time shitposter who s---- up the Otaku Culture board by posting anime and the retro gaming board with Dreamcast threads (both of those were forbidden, although the latter is now allowed. The Otaku Culture board is effectively dead these days due to extreme moderation and very limited freedom in threads allowed - the posting rate is half of what it was last year) To me, 4chan was a place to take it easy and speak your mind. But it looks like they are going in a different direction Getting range-banned almost certainly proves that it is moot behind the censorship. It would be extremely unlikely that he would give a mod the power to ban IP ranges and/or ISPs. permalink](https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/list/000/832/657/c91.jpg "c91.jpg")
