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

Jalen Hutchinson Studied Culinary Science at Culinary Institute of America (Graduated 2014). 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

Letting in Sarkeesian, Mclntosh, Quinn, Kuchera? The moral panic puritans, and the bullies of old. Letting them into vidya? Attacking developers? Forcing devs to change their own art because someone took offense? That's not venal, that's not a lapse. That is Betrayal A man does not fall down morally in only one part of his life. One they had crossed that line, the fall was inevitable.The second they let the censors and shamers in the door, attacking developers became inevitable, attacking gamers became inevitable, "Gamers are Dead" became inevitable. Anons warned us all three years ago, when this began, that censorship and control of video games would follow. Those anons were right. They sensed the inevitable endgame of the betrayal. The entire existence of video games has been one long tale of struggle against moral panics, censorship campaigns, and the contempt of wider society and elites for this industry and this hobby. And for us. Thirty long years, living under the sword of Damocles. A medium that grew up under the constant threat of public proscription and artistic gagging. Through it all, developer, gamers, publishers, and games journalists may never have got along, but at least we had each other, whenever the dark clouds gathered. ng And from nowhere, for reasons unfathomable, game journalists turned and knifed this industry in the back. They sold us out to the censors we have stood against our entire lives. They invited these vampires in, and the result has been New censors are attacking. And the mass hysteria and moral panic the journalists created in their efforts to destroy us, are waking up old stereotypes, and old censors. All this, out of nothing. Out of lies told by journalists with a grudge, out for clicks. Betraying video games games alike cuts too deep. They knew better, but they didn't care. They left a gap in our line and it almost destroyed this industry, almost letting scheming hipster bullies and rapid neo-puritans trample developers and Betraying video games. cuts too deep.

John C Wright responds to accusation of being part of GamerGate

Comment by ρdrax: Friday, October 24th 2014 at 2:05 pm l Mr. Wright, I do not believe you routinely support groups who make death and r--- threats about women. Perhaps you might want to do a little more researclh before pledging whole hearted support to the gamergate movement? http://time.com/3510381/gamergate-faq/ Log in to Reply Comment by John C Wright: Friday, October 24th 2014 at 2:58 pm | As I said several times, I know nothing whatsoever about this controversy However, I know you, and I know your works. I don't know you personally, but I recognize your uniform, your battle cry, and I know under what banner who marc Who are you? You are the boy who cries wolf. Because I hate lies, I have very little sympathy for people like you, whose petty, pathetic, empties lives revolve around spreading slanders At this point, I would far rather the boy get eaten by the wolf that bestir myself to go once again out into the sheepfold to see for myself whether there is a wolf there or not. Did you really, honestly, actually expect any reply from me aside from the back of my hand, you loathsome worm? Did you think to deflect the conversation into a discussion about me and my character? I am bemused at your arrogance to think such foolish tactics would work here. I have nothing but contumely and despite for you and your lazy, lazy parroting of politically correct falsehoods No, with utmost contempt for you and yours, I decline your invitation to do more research. I have been on the receiving end of you and your maggot horde of lies in the past, so I feel it is not worthy anyone's time for me to pick through the vile wee bugs, one by one, this time, again Log in to Reply Comment by pdrax: Friday, October 24th 2014 at 4:01 pm | It was not meant as a personal attack, Mr. Wright Log in to Reply Comment by John C Wright Friday, October 24th 2014 at 4:14 pm l I do not believe you. I am aghast, but not surprised, at your ability to pen a personal attack, and play the moral superiority card here, and then blithely pretend that is not what you are doing Was I unclear? I am for your enemies and against you. You are the foe. When I was on the receiving end of the slander and lies, no one spoke to me with the courtesy you now employ, nor did they ask each other to mount a careful and fair case against me. So when I see the same tactics being used against Gamergate, my loyalty is with them As I said, I know you. I do not know anything about the innocent people you are attacking, but I recognize your tactics

The internet never forgets, m8.

"Well, one of the problems with [sexual depictions of women in videogames is it actually reinforces this cultural myth that women are sexual objects and sexual playthings for male amusement "I think it's a bigger issue to talk about the industry as a whole and howit perpetuates these ideas of sexism and misogyny as opposed to just Grand Theft Auto, for example."

Nobody ever said games make you sexist.

3:50 PM There are no more items. So why does any of this matter? What's the real harm in sexually obiectifying women? Well, the negative impacts of sexual objectification have beer studied extensively over the years and the effects on people of all genders are quite found that exposure to these types of fmages negatively impacts perceptions and beliefs about real world women and reinforces harmful myths about sexual violence. Athena Hollow @athenahollow 6 Hours Ago and very serious. Research has consistently Pffffiffift. Gaters are passing around a study that says games don't make you sexist. Too bad no one ever said they DID. women tend to internalize these types of images and self-objectify. When women We kno begin to think of themselves as objects, and treat themselves accordingly, it results in all kinds of social issues, everything from eating disorders to clinical depression, from body shame to habitual body monitoring. We also see distinct decreases in self-worth, life satisfaction and cognitive functioning. Leigh Alexander @leighalexander @athenahollow @cypheroftyr nope, they're just marketed aggressively toward people who are-sexist already~ 6 Hours Ago But the negative effects on men are just as alarming, albeit in slightly different ways. Studies have found, for example, that after having viewed sexually objectified female bodies, men in particular tend to view women as less intelligent, less competent and disturbingly express less concern for their physical well being or safety. Furthermore this perception is not limited only to sexualized women; in what's called the "Spill Over Effect, these sexist attitudes carry over to perceptions of all women, as a group, regardless of their attire, activities or professions. LINKS & RESOURCES Researchers have also found that after long-term exposure to hyper-sexualized images, people of all genders tend to be more tolerant of the sexual harassment of women and more readily accept r--- myths, including the belief that sexually assaulted women were asking for it, d images and more re The Sexy Lie- Caroline Heldman at TEDxYouth@SanDiego .

Well we are happy to announce the winner, for the first year Jordan Newton who is studying Computer Science we've included her essay so all of our backers have a better understanding of what we saw in her Growing up, I have always loved video games, and it's been the general consensus that I would always go into the field myself. However, it wasnt unti just recently that my aspirations were more refined to the grand vision of the future that I see now. I want to completely revolutionize the way we think about the union between education and technology using the awesome, enthralling power in traditional classroom settings, my dream is to work in the game industry making educational games that are actually both fun and functional Because my little brother has so many leaming disorders, he developed a severe anxiety towards books and reading. However, his love for video games has made me realize that he loves great stories as much as any avid reader does, and that his voracious appetite for games has actually helped him dramatically improve his reading skills. After this startling revelation, I began to research the link between gamifcation and education, and have shifted my career goals to making games that teach not just for people like my brother, but for gamers of all ages. After studying and experimenting with gamification, there is absolutely no reason that gamers-regardless of age, gender, race, sexuality- cant leam things of merit from games. If Minecraft can teach kids about digital logic and basic circuitry, why cant we teach any other subject? also believe that I deserve this scholarship for my work in promoting diversity within the field I am a National Center for Women &Information Technology Aspirations in Computing winner, an award given to young women who serve as inspirations for both young women and women who have long been in the industry. I am also one of nine young women worldwide chosen to be a She++ Campus Ambassador, a position that gives college-going women the resources needed to elp alleviate some of the specific problems that plague their campuses in regards to being both accessible and hospitable to underrepresented demographics. I also teach weekend computing workshops for middle s-----------, volunteer with GEMS clubs, and mentor several FIRST robotics teams. Ultimately, and hopefully through developing my games, I hope to become a positive inspiration for girls wanting to become computer scientists and game developers themselves. I feel that many of the women in the industry spotlight give an overall negative impression of the field, and are actually pushing aspining encouraging them to pursue their passions. I want to set a positive example for women everywhere that you can be both kind and successful in a field that has for so long been telling them that such a feat is impossible. Financially, these dreams are a long shot. Annually, my FAFSA EFC is the absolute lowest it can be, and I have had to take out private loans and borrow to be able to pay for my education thus far that video games Inspired by my younger brother and his s truggles 23 notes
