![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")

Current reports vary on if the event was attacked by a bomb threat, some other promise of violence, or both, but it remains clear that local police we concerned enough to ask the reported +300 #GamerGate "members" in attendance to leave the premises as they investigated the situation. A recent lecture by "feminist culture critic"/wonk Anita Sarkeesian was put to a disturbing and sudden end a few days ago. Current reports vary on if the event was attacked by a mass shooting threat, some other promise of violence, or both, but it remains clear that Ms Sarkeesian was concerned enough that she cancelled the event. As you might expect, accusations are currently being thrown back and forth across gaming's political isle as to whether the threats came from those who view #GamerGate as a hate group, or by "members" of #GamerGate themselves in order to help signal boost their "cause" and gain sympathy from would-be supporters As you might expect, accusations are currently being thrown back and forth across gaming's political isle as to whether the threats came from those who view Sarkeesian as puritanical and a professional victim, or by fans of Feminist Frequency themselves in order to help signal boost their "cause" and gain sympathy from would-be supporters Seeing as how both Hoff Summers and Yiannopoulos showed little-to-no visible interest in gaming prior to their apparent recognition of #GamerGate's signal boosting power (in fact, Yiannopoulos even went as far as to describe gamers in their 30s as "a bit tragic" not that long ago), it's easy to see why some are suspicious about this particular threat Regardless, the whole thing is a mess and we at Destructoid are grateful that no one was hurt. Seeing as how Anita Sarkeesian showed little-to-no visible interest in gaming prior to her apparent recognition of "Tropes vs. Women in Video Games" signal boosting power (in fact, Sarkeesian even went as far as to describe gamer culture as a pit of toxic masculinity" not that long ago), it's easy to see why some are suspicious about this particular threat. Regardless, the whole thing is a mess and we at Destructoid are grateful that no one was hurt.
