![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")
