Sean Connell @Samael76 32m @tyler_wilde It's really awful that you even had to write this. I've never, for a nanosecond, questioned your integrity. With you 100% Robert Zacny @RobZacny 41m I get that it's damned if you do, damned i you don't. But T was hoping PC Gamer wouldn't do this. pcgamer.com/a-note-on- disc. Paul Moloney @oceanclub 22m @tyler_wilde Am just disappointed @pcgamer felt need to say this but I guess @totalbiscuit 's mob hard to avoid 5 View summary Jeff Swanson @biffstix 20m Robert Zacny @RobZacny 39m I think this is a bad policy. It mutes a good an interesting writer from talking about all the games from a MAJOR publisher. わt34 *2 @tyler wilde @pcgamer interesting read Dav Waldron @Shiminay 19m @oceanclub Whilst I actively mock and deride any idiot who identifies as GooberGart, I think we should expect that sort of disclosure 咽 Robert Zacny @RobZacny 35m Pisses me off for the same reason as Totilo's statements wrt to Gravson's personal life. It concedes a point that should Manny Moreno @ghost_117 17m @tyler_wilde It's f------ b------- you had to do this. Dude, I'm sorry these idiots went after you guys. I back you and Anne 1000000000% Norsukampa 3 minutes ago It's quite sad that gaming world has reached the point where idiots behind the screen can actually have this kind of an impact to someone elses profession and work. On my behalf apologies to PC Gamer and Tyler especially that they actually needed to write down crap like that just to please some morons that once again gave more reasons to feel sorry for being a gan not be conceded. lcecream Jones @Ice Cream J.,. 33m @PCGamer hey next time try maybe not validating a terrorist group that has been harassing people for month:s Evan Lahti @ELahti @lce_Cream_Jones We have a responsibility to admit our mistakes. How that response is "used" doesn't supersede that as a concern. 31m lcecream Jones @lceCream J.. 26m @ELahti And now that I've spoken against it, your followers are now spamming me. Wonderful. This is what you get when you kowtow to them

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
