![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")

![1.5 METHODS: GAMERGATE ANALYSIS In this analysis, we assess the proportion of reporting activity associated with GamerGate. We used the most inclusive available dataset of potentially GamerGate-related accounts with data from ggautoblocker by Randi Harper,s featuring 9844 accounts acquired from its public block list on the BlockTogether system on December 29, 2014. We chose ggautoblocker due to its extremely inclusive definition of potential GamerGate related accounts-the system auto-blocks anyone who follows a certain number of identified GamerGate participants. Although this inclusive blocking practice has been criticized for over-blocking accounts,66 the inclusivity of this dataset is appealing for our uses, to search as inclusively as possible for any potential GamerGate connection.67 Reports to WAM! constitute a much wider range of harassment than the GamerGate controversy alone:88% of allegedly harassing accounts In-538] were not linked with GamerGate.-9844 accounts on the ggautoblocker list Most Alleged Harassers Were Unconnected With GamerGate % of alleged harassers in the ggautoblocker list 538 harassers 12% of these harassers (65) were on the ggautoblocker list, and thus related to GamerGate 88% 12% Unconnected to GamerGate Connected to GamerGate 65 out of 9844 accounts on the SOURCE: WAMl incoming Harassment Reports Nov ggautoblocker list were harassers:- 6-26, 2014, n=538 and Randi Harper's "Good Game Auto Blocker," Dec 29 2014 © Women, Action, and the Media 0.66% Only 0.66% of GamerGate related accounts were harassers Source: http://womenactionmedia.org/cms/assets/uploads/2015/05/wam-twitter-abuse-report.pdf](https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/newsfeed/000/963/547/cb4.png "GamerGate and harassment part 2")

![19 Wow, this ahole thing makes me feel very old. Lordy So, I definitely doa't think anyone's sex life should be news and I certainly wouldn't write about it on a site. But quick question: how did some of you decide to publish the Josh stery froms earlier this year that appeared to be based on a private about sex. Where do you see the line being drawn? And how do you guys feel about the Snapehat CEO's emails from college being a story? I was also wondering if when some of you published stories about Zoe harassment-did you actually ask for evidence of said harassment or just go by what she wrote on Twitter I've decided not to write about this because it's kind of ridiculous, but there's a thread created on The Escapist forums that is where to draw the line. I've made the call gnore the story, But as the controller of a pubbic forum on the internet, We will of course continue to moderate the crap out of the threads, make sure that all our stringent rules are kept. Should I shut down the thread? Should I bury it? I will be writing a post to add to the thread now, but other than that don't know. Looking for opinions from the oup because 1.m stumped asto the best way to handle this.

So I think even if everything else is set aside, that instance alone is too muddled to make an As for the controversy as a whole, I've refrained from saying much either publicly or privately becaase I'm friends with Nathan, as he was a fellow Dallasite before moving to California. So anything I'd say on social media anyway would be shouted down by the idiots saying, "But you're beased because you know the guy! as if people can't have legitimate opinions about But my stance is: This should never, ever have been a "thing." Shame on the alleged ex-boyfriend foe starting this whole mess. Even if every woed of what be says is trac, there is absolutely no justification for making this stuff public and dragging people through the mud just because you feel you've been screwed (justifiably or not). On the same note, I agree 100% that this is not a news story" that anybody should cover. It has abeolutely no relevance. Even the "corruption of a journalist" gle is completely irrelevant as Nathan as never "reviewed" Depression Quest either on Kotaku or elsewhere. The fact thst some people online want this to be such a buge deal over a free game I think says a massive deal about where their own agendas actually lie, and deceitful spread of misinformation is disgusting On the topie of allowing foram discussion to take place: I totally see where both Greg and others are coening from. On cee hand it's something people obvicusly going to talk about somewhere where a somewhat controlied discussion can take place-one tries to step in and stop people from getting too out of line. On the other hand,I totally see the point that the thread itself is already out of line and shouldn't exist. I'm not sure I agree that either solution is the 100% clear cut answer in this case, and I don't envy Oreg for having to make the call. anyway, so in a way it's kind of nice to have Britton Peele, Writer Twitter Chris Dahlen Aug FWIW-I think this is disgusting, and not worth any spuce from any outlet. The guy who wrote thst post sounds deranged. We've all had our hearts in our twenties but most of us just complain to our friends. I can't imagine sending an internet mob against anyone I've ever dated no matter how bent I was about it afterwards. I vwoa't eriticize the Eacapist and I'm actually impressed by how well the was self-policing (for the one page that I read), but if I were still running a venae, I would steer far away fron this. It's eruel to Zoe Quinn and to many other people who relate to this. And it feeds the worst instincts of the instead of finding a way to maybe show them the light and belp them be a We were talking yesterday about that Bro Team guy and his adventures as a video creator One of the reasons he acts like a child, makes the videos that he does, and eracks jokes about his "boyhole is that nobody was around to tell him to grow up.
