![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")

![↑ [-] ithinkineedanap 36 points 3 hours ago And those guys are still head and shoulders over the blog news. I remember when Gamergate hit and all these people were totally outraged that "journalists" who worked for sites whose entire revenue stream came from companies whose products they reviewed, were biased! who would have thunk it? 100% ad supported news is always biased. It can't help but be, because you the viewer are the product being sold, not the news People weren't surprised, they just decided to start doing something about it after there appeared to be a coordinated smear campaign against their own audience. There'd been a climate growing for years, such as the Kane & Lynch debacle or Doritos pope. I mean Nintendo Power was a beloved magazine and it was just Nintendo supplied marketing everyone knew that, but was a kind of line between selling something and outright demeaning your audience. People in gaming were well aware of that overlap between "journalism" and marketing, since after all it's an entertainment medium. You get the same thing in music or movie journalism as well But you also had more to the context. You also had the long-running and seemingly unending smear campaign by mainstream media against gaming, since it's origins. And you had the resurgence of politically correct ideologies, fueled by social media, that had already created controversies among other communities, notably atheism and comics What happened with Gamergate is that the gaming journalism outlets, or at least several notable ones, outright turned on their demos, all seemingly in the name of political ideologies, and it was just the last straw. To make matters worse, the mainstream media just ran with that as well, where now gamers weren't just the violence obsessed social outcasts, but misogynistic racists as well. And the gaming demographic decided to stand up for themselves Whether the outlets are biased or not is less relevant, as there's nothing wrong with a consumer demographic deciding to hold those outlets accountable when they can, whether it's providing disclosure or other such measures, it has been Working perma link embed parent ↑ [-] tardayanami 5 points 1 hour ago This was amazing, thank you perma link embed parent ↑ [-] ehManiacal 15 points 3 hours ago Some of the worst offenders in the "gaming media" even have journalism experience and degrees too.

It may have appeared to pop up relatively overnight, but the climate had been ripe for a while Generally people are aware of what "gaming journalism" is about. Just look at the hype for new games and such where people voluntarily as part of a hobby will seek out any and all new information about a game. I mean they're just getting hyped over a product for months, and largely helping companies market their products by talking about them. People know that, and you see it in other tech areas and entertainment as well Where it crossed a line was when that media started bashing and insulting their audience. And those readers/consumers basically said "f--- this." nd people in gaming have been critical of that for a while.
