![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")

![THE TWILIGHT ZONE Ed Regarding recent events moot ## Admin :: 09/18/14(Thu)13:18 48 No 264227139メ画 [Reply] The decision to remove "GamerGate" threads has been poorly communicated, and that's my fault. Said threads are being deleted primanily 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 is one of 4chan's fastest moving boards and has historically struggled with keeping topics limited to actual video games Regarding a perceived 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 wouldnt be comfortable with on other platforms as "you can say and do anything on 4chan which smp y isn't the case We've had rules and moderators snce he site was founded 11 years ago and r e only reinforced this statement over the years a la https //archive moe thread 580080#580135 To those who actually want to use I to discuss idya and not a movement that has outgrown 4chan (a la Project Chanology)-apologies for the inconvenience * Lowtax Nov 16. 1999 Ralp posted: :淺 Spanish Manlove and I talked about it and we would like to try a GBS without gamergate for a while. It's not a pleasant thread to have to mod, and everything that can be said about it has been retreaded a hundred times here already. I've considered whether this should just go to one of the Games subforums but I don't think it really belongs there either Remember in Ghostbusters when they shut down the containment unit and then smaller ghosts started popping up everywhere nonstop? Just let this thread be and let it die on its own, and if people want to keep making fun of it, let them do it here. Don't bother modding it, if something terrible happens I'm sure there will be reports for it. I see all those other sites shutting down Gamergate discussion and think that's just as silly as discussing Gamergate.

![Reply to this post athelind (No Subject ) Posted: 13 hours ago I have only the vaguest idea what's going on with Gamnergate. This is odd, because a good chunk of my Tumblr and Twitter feeds center around feminist concerns in popular culture but primarily in comics. Reply to this post RelaxingDragon1 (No Subject ) Posted: 11 hours ago I too have only vague notions of the whole thing, which I think might be because I'm not on Tumblr or Twitter at all. As best I can tell it has to do with gamers being awful, awful people, which at least is a concept I can readily understand. Reply to this post karass No Subject) Posted: 6 hours ago You have the essence of it. Its a thing that is still continually unfolding, so its hard to find anyone summing it up accurately in a sort of timeline format. Reply to this post AConcerned Rifleman [ Hide Comment] (No Subject) Posted: less than a second ago Actually, KYM has been documenting the whole thing since it's conception. http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/events/gamergate TL:DR: "Journalist" are being outed as corrupt with a massive trail evidence backing it, said journalists and "SJW"s are trying to make it about sexism and committing mass professional suicide in order to derail it, and the "sJW" crowd is trying to push their own agenda by using their contacts to silence anyone who portrays them in a negative light. Also/v/ made Vivian as part of a charity gaming pitch for women, not to be a mouthpiece of any sorts. I suggest you take a good look at this before it's gone, because I'm probably next on the chopping list... Reply to this post barman87 No Subject ) Posted: an hour ago Yeah. I wonder why they are so fixated on comics and games, blaming it on sexism. Which in reality is more to do with society and upbringing I just find it idiotic that people blame society's ills in cultural products as someone once said.
