Where the f--- are you guys? Well, did you see one of the hundreds of thousands of video slandering, smearing or making fun of video games at their developers expense? Did you see a developper talking back about that? Ever? We hate the Press, Youtubers, and sometimes gamers We love the Press, Youtubers, and sometimes gamers But we are talking about this only between us, never publically. Because the press is a pyramidal system. Its not a left-right system, where when you are attacked by a side the other side can support you. n a pyramidal system, everybody wants to be at the top, so even the smallest sites (with Alexa rank 6,000,000) are mimicking the big ones. They are making big news sites (instead of blogs) and they are parroting the top of the pyramid. There are here a lot more developpers than you think. I know devs who even follow some of the "problematic Twitter accounts. But I know a lot more devs who are following the "good side of history accounts" like the Whos. And they are the ones which oppose yu immediatly when you start talking about anything related to Gamergate or any of the linked controversies If we never talked back to the Press or the Youtubers before Gamergate, don't expect us to do so now, when we can be fired at will if we don't Listen and Believe. But when we are discussing, we are saying that a lot of the anti gamers are full of s---. Especially Anita Sarkeesian. Even people who Listen and Believe for true are saying she is going too far. It's new and it's good. What you are doing is working and help us inside Please continue to fight the good fight.

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
