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

Author has 304 answers and 740.1K answer views. 5y Not that I care that much either way, but it did expose a lot of corrupt game developers and game journalists. 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

I have undone your (Ryulong) most recent revision deletion. Unpleasant yes but it revealed nothing personal about you. Someone being cuntish towards you is not doxing. -MtDNotorious Sodomite 21:14, 6 March 2015 (UTC) AThis. Please stop using revision delete & other sysopabiliies inappropriately & please stop trying to plead some sort of special status as an excuse for breaking community standards. Thanks. Weaşe?óid'^Methirks it is a Weasel 22:02, 6 March 2015 (UTC) AThis. I get that your desire to be a voice for Gamergate has brought you a lot of bad attention. And I think you'd have to agree that RW has done as much as it can to protect you from that attention when it follows you here. At the same time, RW was around before Gamergate, and it will be around long after Gamergate, and Gamergate is not what's going to make us change the way we keep our community running. Please respect our minimal standards while you're here. Thanks. Peace. AgingHippie (talk) 22:31, 6 March 2015 (UTC) My last action was to rev del a message someone else had already reverted from being here. It counts as inappropriate content.

It's not much of an exaggeration to say this is pretty much Sophie's wiki. Read what I said above: RW was here before Gamergate, and will be here after Gamergate. We've gotten through much worse without compromising the 3 or 4 rules we have. Peace. AgingHippie (talk) 23:52, 7 March 2015 (UTC) If the whole purpose is to ignore what was said why is so much time and energy being put into telling me off for having removed t in the first place?

The results of Brianna Wu's game.

More than 250,000 people downloaded the free version in the first six months, and the sell-through rate for the $5.99 full version hit four times the industry average of about 2 percent. so she's earned roughly $120k gross if we take these numbers. Apple supposedly takes a 30% cut on average, which leaves her with S84k to offset her $400k development budget. No further comment

Randi Harper tries to stop harassment, apparently.

Deepak Saxena Friends with Jono Bacon I'm a kernel dev, been doing it for almost 15 years and yes Linus and other maintainers can be not so nice sometimes. I myself have been guilty of yelling at someone over email when they were just not making technical progress no matter how much handholding I did, however, Randi Lee Harper, the personal attacks and meaness you are spewing on this thread goes above and beyond anything I have ever seen in the kernel community 10 mins . Like凸1 Randi Lee Harper Could it be that I'm p----- off that a bunch of RedHat employees decided to jump into my status and start telling me that sexism in tech isnt a real thing because they haven't seen it?

Remark made by Doug Tennapel on his 8Chan thread.

▶ TenNapel 03/07/15 Sat 20:48:46 ID b782fa No.2569899-2'A 929ー2589920 >>2gess32 >>25es 35-25e9944-2559949 )-25ess 52-5 9959 222 e 961-25ess2 2589973 My Christianity will not only clash with liberals, but will likely clash with everyone who reads this at some point. If you and I spend enough time together, and I dont care if you went to my church, you and I are going to clash at some point. So my bigger question with anyone about anything isn't "are we going to clash?" but "How are we going to treat each other when we do? If I disagree with a Mormon, and I do, then do I try to kill his career as a game dev? If I disagree with a Satanist, do I try to undermine his whole life as if he doesn't deserve to make a living off his craft? This is where the liberals in my life have acted really crummy... like bad liberals. And I'm far more liberal in how I treat them. That said, look at this group. Look at my audience. I have many, many LGBTs who read and love my work. Of course, the left says they're sock puppets but that's the left's job. I know my people and they treat me very well. So the damage the press or the industry has done to me is NOTHING compared to the benefit and love I've experienced from my audience. I'll swallow the left's hatred any day so long as I get to serve my audience. Really, it's insulting to me but it's not that hard once you get a thick skin. Many of you are learning that now.

Statement made by a gamedev on 8Chan

Ive a game dev over the past couple of years working for a company on a pretty big game with a substantial community you all have probably heard of. We have a presence at PAX East Though I'm not a woman myself, I sympathize with the women who made those quotes because I find myself in a similar situation of being afraid to speak up about something I care about, Gamergate and the fight against s----- games journalism. The difference is that they fear getting harassed online while I fear being ostracized by friends at work or, at worst, losing my job, especially since Im not that experienced outside of school and don't hold any clout at all. If you think about it, though, all of our fears stem from the same thing, games journalism perpetuating the idea that Gamergate (and gamers in general according to some people like Leigh Alexander) is the worst thing to have ever sprung from the internet Now I'm not sure whether or not the dangers to my employment are real, but it's just not something I want to risk. It's why I never comment on Gamergate outside of chans. Even before GG I barely use my reddit account pretty much only having it to express my critical views of OWS back when it was a thing, and I haven't even commented on r/KiA at all because I don't want that history following me, especially if I was to post on our game's subreddit as a known dev. And Id never consider ever participating on Twitter since the only point of it seems to be mobs arguing in 140-character bites and the fastest way to get actual harassers calling my employer Funny enough, even though Ive never seen anyone at work ever mention Gamergate since the early days of the Quinnspiracy when the TotalBiscuit thread on reddit got nuked (which was simply viewed as a peculiarity at the time), someone this week posted to our internal general chatroom the Yahoo! article on this very panel I was really worried for a moment. I thought that it was going to start up a conversation about how terrible Gamergate is. Id be forced to decide between staying silent and watch the misconception circulate within my own company of speak up and put myself at risk. Fortunately, nobody made a reply about the article with the chatroom moving along with other topics All in all, s--- sucks

About the speech Brianna Wu gave...

"I've had 48 death threats now in six months," Wu said in an interview Friday. "To stand up to GamerGate, that's my choice. I can't make that choice for the women I work with." But Wu made two public appearances at the convention, including a Friday night live edition of the gaming podcast Isometric. Even though the GamerGate controversy has made national headlines, Wu's appearance did not attract a large crowd. The podcast took place in a room designed to hold hundreds, but about 70 turned out. These included two plainclothes security workers, gruff and denim-clad, who cast suspicious eyes toward anybody who got near the stage.

Conversation between a neutral Journalist and Anti-GG

Andrew Griffinandrew griffin 4h I wrote this piece, which has since been tweeted by @Glinner, carefully so that it didn't side with anything: twitter.com/Glinner/status.. Andrew Griffinandrew_griffin 4h Not out of naive commitment to objectivity but from a sense that people can make up their own minds Andrew Griffin_andrew_griffin -4h The joke, in my opinion, was clearly not worth getting outraged about. But the outrage was notable, not least because it trended here Andrew Griffinandrew_griffin 4h Now @glinner and more tweeted as if I'm a GamerGater, or sympathetic. Would genuinely appreciate anyone's thoughts on if it looked that way Graham Linehan @Glinner 3h @_andrew_griffin you called them 'activists' and a 'community. Activists don't send SWAT teams to women's houses to terrorise them. Andrew Griffinandrew griffin 3h @Glinner I don't see activists as a morally-charged word. They're activists, for bad causes. Graham Linehan Glinner 3h @.andrew_griffin then present the facts and detail how #notyourshield started on 4chan as a smokescreen for abuse tinyurl.com/n7nt99z わロ★ Andrew Griffin_andrew_griffin-3h @Glinner i said pretty much that. The went on to talk about sock puppets Maybe not enough but it's there Graham Linehan @Glinner Follow @_andrew_griffin rather than their doxxing, their SWAT-ing, their sending pics of dead babies to Quinm, Wu etc, then you ARE editorialising FAVORITE 9:47 AM-6 Mar 2015 Andrew Griffin_andrew griffin 2h @Glinner but that's not what this piece was about. We write about all of those things i100.independent.co.uk/article/meanwh.. Graham Linehan Glinner 2h @_andrew_griffin whatever, man. You added to the confusion with that particular piece and that's all I have to say about it Andrew Griffin_andrew_griffin -2h @Glinner that's not all you had to say: you also insulted me to your 500k followers. But yes 'whatever get feeling you've made your mind up Graham Linehan @Glinner 2h @_andrew_griffin I didn't include your username and you should be thankful I didn't Andrew Griffin@_andrew griffin 2h @Glinner that sounds fairly menacing Graham Linehan @Glinner 1h _andrew griffin ha. Try being Zoe Quinn. My point is I could have tweeted yr username and I didn't because you would have had many more わ ★ Graham Linehan @Glinner 1h @_andrew_griffin than me telling you what a disaster that piece was. Andrew Griffinandrew_griffin 1h @Glinner I'm not even going to bother with how crass your first sentence is. Re the rest: yes, I understood what you meant Andrew Griffin_andrew griffin 1h @Glinner and that's why it was threatening: "you should be thankful I went easy on you because I could have done more" is a threat Graham Linehan @Glinner 1h @_andrew_griffin again, try being Zoe Quinn if that's your threshold. You wouldn't last an hour under her circumstances. Andrew Griffin_andrew_griffin 1h @Glinner this is so, so crass. I'm not engaging with it, sorry
