![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. …………………………....…..……….…..... Attack type Victims Motive View source Inquiry XA 28 languages ✓ Perpetrators Internet trolls, particularly from 4chan, Internet Relay Chat, and 8chan View history Tools ✓ Gamergate August 2014 - 2015 Women in the video game industry See all media Online harassment campaign Zoë Quinn, Anita Sarkeesian, Brianna Wu, and others Gamergaters created conspiracy theories falsely accusing Quinn of an unethical relationship with video game journalist Nathan Grayson.[23][24][25] More broadly, they alleged unethical collusion between the press and feminists, progressives, and social critics.[17][26] [27] These claims were widely dismissed as trivial, conspiracy theories, baseless, or unrelated to actual issues of ethics in gaming and journalism.[28] [29][30] Gamergate supporters frequently denied that the harassment took place, falsely claiming it to be manufactured by the victims.[31][32] Misogyny anti-feminism anti- progressivism FBI investigation Gamergate has been described as a culture war over cultural diversification, artistic recognition, feminism in video games, social criticism in video games, and the social identity of gamers.[28][33] [34] [35] Many supporters of Gamergate opposed the increasing influence of feminism and so-called "social justice warriors" on video game culture. [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")

![What Happens to [REDACTED] in Arkham Knight ls Really Not Good Evan Narclsse Filed to: BATMAN 588 6/30/15 12:00pm Something happens in Arkham Knight that puts it way up in the running for Darkest Batman Story ever Massive spoilers follow. I'm not done playing the latest Batman game yet. Overall, I'm enjoying Arkham Knight a lot. Many of the game's features-upgraded implementation of existing gadgets, introduction of new ones, stealthy Batmobile sequences-have kept me happy so far. But the main reason Ive played these latter-day Dark Knight video games has been to see how Rocksteady (and Warner Bros. Montreal for Arkham Origins) re-configures elements in the character's mythos. Based on decades of reading Batman comics, I have ideas about who the Arkham Knight is. And, for when I finish the game, I'm working on an article about other Bat-stories that may have influenced its narrative. Still, one thing that happens about halfway through the game left me reeling. quantity-queEvan Narcisse 6/30/15 12:03pm Like I said above, I haven't finished playing Arkham Knight yet. Maybe you should finish the game before publishing posts relating to individual plot points? You're basically the guy standing up during the middle of a movie saying "OH MAN WHAT RAMIFICATIONS WILL THIS SCENE HAVE FOR THE REST OF THE MOVIE?!" ★ | Reply](https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/newsfeed/000/986/314/9e6.png "Kotaku writer jumps the gun to complain about [Character]'s story in Arkham Knight")

![crabcrawler @crabcrawler1 Easy to explain. 4chan's former boss was lazy and did a blanket ban on Gamergate, instead of going on a case-by-case basis approach that filtered out the junk. So that created the initial demand for 8chan. that's it. [Return] [Catalog] [Bottom) On Regarding recent events moot Admin : 4 minutes ago No 264185884 E The decision to remove "GamerGate" threads has been poorly communicated, and that's my fault. Said threads are being deleted primarily because they violate our blanket "no personal information / raids / calls to invasion" rule. Spamming the reports system and creating multiple topics were also a factor, especially given /w is one of 4chan's fastest moving boards and has histerically struggled with keeping toplcs limited to actual video games. Regarding a perceired lack of free speech/censorship -- many seem to misinterpret my advocating for anonymous communication and highlighting that it allows people to share things they otherwise wouldn't be comfortable with on other platforms as "you can say and do anything on 4chan, " which simply isn't the case. We've had rules and moderators since the site was founded "11 years ago", and I've only reinforced this statement over the years, a la: https liarchive moeighthreadis800a0580135 To those who actually want to use hw to discuss vidya and not a movement that has outgrown 4chan (a la Project Chanology) -- apologies for the inconvenience [Return] [Catalog) (Top) O The Daily Dot O @dailydot · 6d Years later, we must circle back to Gamergate and how it made Q possible. From @clairenjax: crabcrawler @crabcrawler1 · 6d Replying to @crabcrawler1 GamerGate had it's own self-contained identity, and it was against politics and special interest groups with an agenda shoehorning themselves into the hobby. But the 8chan platform being what it was? Yeah that created the "Q" crap. But in of itself. 1 27 5 27 crabcrawler @crabcrawler1 · 6d ^ ain't saying that to defend nobody. Just want to give a proper distinction to anyone who is trying to make heads-or-tails of the last decade of internet history. 27 2 19](https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/list/002/239/517/df5.jpg "Daily Dot - a simple explanation")
