King of Zeroes a few seconds ago O Hold on, this is waiting to be approved by PC Gamer Are we deleting comments again? Oh goody Maybe you should take a hint, PC Gamer. GAMERS don't want to play Sarkeesians blame game. But here's the thing, SHE isn't the problem. You are. This would never been an issue if we'd been ALLOWED to criticize her from the beginning. But no, everywhere we look it's censorship. "How dare you criticize our goddess" cry the journos as the lick the gravy dripping down. Sarkeesian would have fallen out of the public eye as a kook, or she would have evolved and adjusted to present actual, valid criticism of sexism in the industry Nope. YOU turned her into the pariah that she is. YOU made Gamers hate her by parading her b------- in front of us like a show dog. And YOU are the idiots making Gamers hate you, by treating us like children who shouldn't be allowed to think for ourselves. Consume what we tell you. Dissent is thought crime We have been beyond civil with this industry. We've been apathetic to the corruption and the collusion in this industry for decades. But our patience wears thin. You think us entitled? WE OWN YOU. This is OUR industry.Our money, our time, and our love, is the ocean you sail on. You don't like it? Dock your dinghy and go open up a butcher shop. If you want our money, you WILL give us something we deem of equal value in return. You have refused. You think yourselves bigger than that. Better than that. er semo belev OUR money. You are not. You will work for your money, as we worked for ours. We put our blood, sweat and tears into making that money. You will do the same. We are consumers. We are Gamers. And we find your s--- unappetizing. | v , Edit . Share

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
