The term is "best altemative to a negotiated agreement" and really it has everything to do with leverage and, as it turns out, #GamerGate. Simpy put, BATNA is the best case scenario if two parties don't work it out. So consider #GG and Joumalists as two parties Their BATNA is that the movement peters out without them making any concessions. This one is interesting. It requires three things 1) No concessions 2) The movement should peter out. 3) No negotiation reached So the optimal move for them is to hold the line and make attempts to disenfranchise the movement without making a HOWEVER: We are the customers. We want something. It's their JOB to listen. So by all rights a negotiation should have been reached a while ago. This is why, no matter what happens, they will keep playing up the harassment. This is why THEY benefit from harassment. Now, this was in the last thread. Someone asked why the hell Boogle, who did nothing except say he supported GamerGate and that the harassment needed to stop. This is why: Boogie was probably the potentially single worst thing to happen to them had he stuck around. If there's ANY proof that we wanted to negotiate and we wanted to stop harassment, then they lose everything. So what do we do knowing this? Well, what's our BATNA? Our BATNA is that we keep raising hell through the holidays, it negatively impacts some important video game companies and the journalists get slapped down. So whille we attempt to reach negotiations (which won't be reached, don't fool yourselves) we should be sure to do everything we can to preserve our BATNA.

NOTHING HAS F------ CHANGED 10
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

X Journalists would make claims of people like Anita Sarkeesian "playing video games all her life" when she openly admitted many times she is not a gamer and only starter recently (when it wasn't for an interview). Various developers trading sex or money for good reviews got exposed, journalists who accepted got exposed. People became a bit more critical about supporting a game just because the developer has a victim complex stating tat their game could have only failed because of sexism, instead of their own poor developing skills. What really sealed the deal was opposition often faking their own harassment. Anita sarkeesian and Zoe Quinn have been caught multiple times screenshotting "harassment" while showing that the harrasser's account name in the login. Or when someone called the police to help Sarkeesian against a "very real threat" she was posting about, only for police to find the harasser's messages were coming from her IP address. I just want honesty from the community, and the lies were mostly exposed by the "dreaded" gamergate. 1.3K views • View upvotes 26

Calm down there, Khorne. Direct quote from the picture you're commenting on: "If there's ANY proof that we wanted to negotiate and we wanted to stop harassment, then they lose everything." Staying the course and not backing down is important, but so is staying civil and open to discussion – if you don't care about discourse, then at least to make yourself look better to outsiders. It's important that we show everyone that we're the bigger people here.

I knew Batnaman would save GamerGotham from the evil Jokers!

(Also, I don't think anyone on the side of gamergate would ever accept any negotiations after what the other side have said and done anyway, so we should be good with this.)
