Elizabeth Follow Told a kid I'd help him get into the industry. He was a GG guy. When he asked why l stopped helping him, I responded These people arent celebrities when you're in the game industry. They're your friends and colleagues and peers, but most of all, they're actual human people. The things people say about them and do to them on the Intemet have a real and visceral impact on their lives, just like the thing you said on the Internet just impacted your life right now I wish you the best of luck in the future.

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

okay, let's recap.

>She tried to help someone get into the game industry

>the person she helped is ProGG

>"the stuff you say to people affects them, just like it affected you now" aka, she stops helping because its a GG member/supporter

>Gets fired.

look, maybe she wasn't flat out an asshole about it, but it's still a mean thing to do, if you take a shit in my living room, i won't care how polite you are explaining why you did it, you still took a shit in my living room!

I, actually can sympathize with this a little.
Not to say i approve of it, I don't it's a shitty thing to do but i understand
She isn't screaming muh soggy knees, she isn't an idiot
she isn't trying to lie and she didn't block or black list the guy, she actually gave the guy a answer. i can respect that
I think her logic is kinda shit to but she does have a point.
>aside from what you've said on the internet affect you.(what shit)
these are her friends and colleges, it's bad to do something against your friends especially when you rely on them for some sort of economic stability.
I guess it's kinda like how some devs are avoiding speaking up but more selfish.
