![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")

![-] JRBelmont 160 points 2 hours ago At this point probably over 30 people, at least 25 that I know of, have been doxxed and gotten r---/death threats exactly like Brianna Wu's. Worse than that: People have had their bank accounts hacked, income cut off, internet shut down, mutliple people have lost jobs, gotten knives and syringes in the mail... the list goes on and gets worse. And all of this has been publicly condoned and even actively participated in by leading figures in gaming journalism. Meanwhile #gamergate harassment patrol and others are doing such a good job of protecting even the other side that we are literally taking abusive accounts offline faster than Brianna/etc can retweet them for publicity We have raised $70,000+ for feminists to fund female game developers, $16,000+ for anti-bullying charities, and several thousand more dollars for suicide prevention. At this point we've raised at least $100,000 for charity to my knowledge But if you were to count the number of articles written about Brianna Wu and write as many articles for each #gamergate supporter attacked in exactly the same way that would total over 450 articles in support of gamergate and condemning anti-GG. Instead even as black men are targeted for revenge attacks that cost them their jobs we are compared to the ku klux klan. Soldiers who served their country are told they're worse than ISIL Women and non-white gamers are deliberately targeted for doxxing attacks which go utterly unreported. My question is this Mr. Singal: How can you possibly Justify the state of reporting on #gamergate according to ANY code of ethical and factual reporting? We are called house n' ers", we are getting knives and syringes in the mail, losing our Jobs, and the people we are protesting are publicly condoning and encouraging this Instead more and more articles are printed damning us in ever more extreme language. This hatred has escalated to the point that a 16 year old child doxxed a gamergate supporter and threatened his 7 year old cousin with r--- and death because she thought that's what it meant to be a "good feminist" This is what the reporting on gamergate is encouraging. Mr. Singal l am a non-white jew from a family of holocaust survivors. There is a word for when people tell lies that stir up hatred and lead to violence. You are an educated man, I know you know the word I am speaking of permalink save report give gold reply behavior. And none of that is being reported](https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/list/000/855/531/552.png "And he run of that answer")
