LOKE MGKINNEY'S 7 Ways the GamerGate Debate Has Made the World Worse By Luke McKinney 25, 2014 10,637 views Tweet Add To Favorites I'm a huge supporter of the #gamergate movem ent, because I'm sick to death of the "-gate" suffix, and after something this stupid no one will ever use it again. Journalists could be 6 FLik reporting on a hinged wrought-iron frame scandalously barring the way to a secret government interplanetary portal and they'll still refuse to use the term. Tweet 8+1 email / reasons this article 1S full of s---: Still considers it a "harassment" campaign against LiterallyWho even though no one has used Quinnspiracy (which was the ACTUAL tag used for that contraversy) in over a month and no one gives a s--- or even wants that woman included in the discussion anymore Demonizes p--- (because sex is weird and gross and should be shamed or something) Brings up things people have done in abuse of the tag, but doesn't mention that the entire movement reprimended and condemned those individuals as non-representative Defines criticism and an (empassioned) willingness to halt the spread of misinformation as "harassment" and "threats" ignored the #NoYourShield hashtag, which was specifically created and used by minorities (women, folks who are not caucasian, trans* ect) as a way to express to SJWs that they do not appreciate being spoken for nor having their existence ignored because they don't fit their narrative Claims the "alleged corruption" "never happened", again defining GG as just harassing Quinn even though, again, no one gives a s--- about her, and ignores the existence of the CameraLady videos and Milo's investigations, which exposed the existence of EVEN MORE baltant corruption no one had even known about at first Brings up Anita Sark out of nowhere even though: the threats against her happened BEFORE GG, and she has NOTHING TO DO with GG at all (aside from general mockery about her weirdly cultish expo) and again defines GG as nothing but white dudes being sexist which again ignores #NotYourShield. Not to mention the general Jack Thompson-esk "people who play videos games are violent hateful losers and video games are dumb lol" statements

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
