![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 Man Behind Feminist Frequency Anonymous 09/21/14 (Sun) 22:26:45 ID: cc9a8 No.98045 File: 141 0492 (117 MB, 1455x1500, 97:100, jmff.jpg) The nan behind Feminist Frequency A Brief History of Literally Who 2 AU This video covers a series of events. A PR agent and a passionate propagandist with very specific views about morality met and created Feminist Freqency. The video argues that the focus on sex-negative feminism and tropes of video games may come from a white man named Jonathan McIntosh. Jonathan is the producer and co-writer of Feminist Frequency This man is your ENEMY >LETS LEARN MORE ABOUT JONATHAN MCINTOSH In 2008, Jonathan McIntosh did a talk for Ars Electronica. You can watch that video on youtube. It explains how he remixes and makes propaganda out of video in order to evoke a certain feeling in the viewer. He calls it Political Remix Video You can watch the video here: https://ww youtube.com watch? 三 wp19 TnuBO He righte for CORRUPTION But what's more interesting to me is the Essay he wrote for the Ars Electronica 2008 catalog, "A New Cultural Economy". Here is the essay in it's entirety: in LMu >QUOTES: Try to think about this in terms of Feminist Frequency > The work's content is not confined to government, leaders, and elections but also focuses on critical consciousness to engage issues of media, culture, economics, race, gender, sexuality and class. The source media and materials come primarily from pre-existing mass media fragments that are captured and re-cut to create new transformed or re-framed messages. Sound familiar? > PRV [Political Remix Video] artists also mimic many of the same visual and narrative devices of the dominant media such as sensationalism, humor, irony emotional triggers and cynicism. This generates credibility for the work with the viewers because the source material is already familiar to the public and has a certain amount of built in cultural meaning... Remixers are not critiquing the form mainstream media takes (as contemporary video art has done for decades) but rather borrowing and using it as a vehicle to deliver their own subversive messages. He's basically saying that editing videos to mimic "fake" news ala Daily Show can give the viewer the illusion that the material they are watching is credible. Notice how Feminist Frequency is shot and edited like a news program. I find it amazing that he goes ahead and admits that PRV is subversion. Anyway, I recommend reading the entire essay. Because it is essentially the blueprints for femfreq Also please spread this info around. One of the biggest problems feminism has is rich white dudes speaking for women. And Jonathan is definitely another one of those problems. □ Anonymous 09/21/14 (Sun) 22:27:32 ID: 47919 No.98058](https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/newsfeed/000/834/350/d51.jpg "Get a load of Johnny MacIntosh")
