![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")

Liana K In 'N Out Chef 09/21/14 (Sun) 23:36:32 ID: 4fo7b No. 10574 ube.com/watch?v-18 mv In 'N Out Chef 09/22/14 (Mon) 01:17:58 ID: 8c767 No.10755 She's a concern troll. Interrupting people, de-railing conversations. She can f--- off In 'N Out Chef 09/22/14 (Mon) 12:54:22 ID: 7381c No.12821 2212852 2212883 212892 Then prove she is a concern troll through arguments. Don't let people attack her t--- then call her a victim when she gets upset. Is your mom ok with people attacking her t--- and saying she got her job because of her vajew? No? She probably wouldn't like that either would she? So why should we do it to others? Are we social fucktarded warriors now as well?! In 'N Out Chef 09/22/14 (Mon) 12:56:43 ID: 7381c No.12827 2212852 2212883 Also for interupting people and derailing conversations That is the moderators fault for being a n----- f-- jew all in one Its the moderator's job to tell guests to shut the f--- up and interrupt them when they derail. Oh and f--- your dad too for not teaching you that in skype its very easy to interupt some one. Especially when there are 5 people in the conversation ln 'N Out Chef 09/22/14 (Mon) 13:00:16吱ー0.12836 2212852 2212863 And concern troll? Did you watch the streams? Did she say gamergate should change? Did she offer any advice that would harm the movment? No she didn't. Instead we're being f------ for using words like shill and concern troll just like the SJW morons who use sexism and misogyny as their weapons I'm sure we can act like Thunderf00t and Justicar and dismantle her arguments rationally instead of acting like children and trolling her for the sake of trolling In 'N Out Chef 09/22/14 (Mon) 13:01:12 ID 7381c No.12841 2212852 2212883 he danger, of course, is that not everyone with a concern is a concern troll - and not every concern is unreasonable. In environments of genuine groupthink, applying the concern troll label may serve as a means of enforcing conformity and punishing (or silencing) dissent. And even without actual groupthink in play, many Internet posters find dismissing an argument much quicker and easier than evaluating it. In addition, the term "concern troll" focuses not on what the person is actually saying, but on some alleged agenda. Thus, if misused, it is the perfect refuge for someone who has no counter to the actual argument: simply ignore the points made, allege some other position, and then accuse the other person of lying if they deny that that is what they're really saying. It's a combination of straw man and argumentum ad hominem: make up something to attack, and ignore their actual points on the basis that since the points were made by someone acting in bad faith, they need not be addressed. Sometimes outsiders will come by and make concern troll-like statements sincerely. Some are sincere but stupid. Some may be insightful, and justified iconoclasts, merely making valid observations unwelcome to the dominant ideology or culture of the forum (the Cassandra syndrome[5]). Often, of course, the person is misguided, wrong, and not actually trolling.

You're really f------ bad at this. If you post a picture of yourself with a shoe on your head, I won't ban you, and you can try again another day In 'N Out Chef 09/22/14 (Mon) 13:15:23 ID: 7381c No. 12879 22128 More 12863 Great another SJW posing as a 4chaner. I think Liana types better then me, not to mention the fact that i'm the one who made the video, also the suck puppet. As for Liana's twitter, she was using it to see when people complain that she is derailing No wonder she was p----- off when it was flooded with kittens At this point I am starting to think that people who are screaming "get the c--- out of here" before the stream is starting are actually the ones who try to harm the movment and prevent jurnalists from breaking ranks In 'N Out Chef ## Global Moderator 09/22/14 (Mon) 13:19:58 ID: ddfac No. 12896 2212900 12879 Do you see the big red GLOBAL MODERATOR next to my name?
