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

Author has 304 answers and 740.1K answer views. 5y Not that I care that much either way, but it did expose a lot of corrupt game developers and game journalists. 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

Posting just as InternetAristocrat mentioned it on the "Lazy Thursday Stream" (Around 1:47:00-1:48:00)

Q Search Faith In Humanity Slowly Depleting: Thi:s Jerk And His Supporters Find Joy In Harassing Women Gamers 111,218 1 ★ Patricia Hernandez Flled to: SEXISM 103/13 4:30pm Patricia Hernandez writes an article about a teenager who trolls camwhores on twitch decrying it as the worst thing ever to happen. Shortly afterwards Bob Chipman writes a blog about it. l Don't Want To Game On This Planet Anymore Yknow, it's funny. When I created The AntiThinker, he was supposed to embody an exaggeration of the absolute worst in gamer culture. Turns out, I didn't exaggerate enough Patricia Hernandez over at Kotaku points the way to a new candidate for gaming's worst human: A (popular, of course) YouTuber who puts up "how-to" videos instructing his followers on how to harrass female gamers for the crime of playing video games while female "justified," of course, by the idea appeal that these women are only gaming as a way to "con" poor, helpless men out of their money with sex I'm not going to link directly to his stuff, but you can get the gist of it and watch (if you want to) from Hernandez piece HERE. The whole thing is nothing short of revolting, top to bottom, particularly the sociopathic glee that the guy takes is carrying out and encouraging what's basically a keyboard and a mouse away from what'd be (verbal) sexual assault in the real world. But I'm particularly fascinated/repelled by the argument of him, his fans and too many of the Kotaku commenterati that somehow this is t---for-tat payback" because some of the women MAY be using their sex-appeal for attention or even monetary gain - essentially "they're W-----, so they had it coming First off, the thing is... I don't give a s---. Setting aside that I have no real moral objection to (ethical) sex workers in the real world, I see absolutely NOTHING wrong the flirting-for-attention/cash "camgirl" phenomenon in gamer culture or otherwise on the net. People pay ME because they think I'm funnyfinsightful/whatever, I don't see how paying someone for being pretty/firty is any different or deserving of "punishment." If you get "conned" out of kicking some paypal credits to this or that person online because she batted her eyes or flashed some cleavage and you felt like a schmuck later... that's on YOU, pal Secondly, what experience in real life tells you that this would be "okay" even in a virtual space. Do you imagine that punishing women for being sexy for attention or some other gain is a thing that happens? Do you know what would happen to anyone who walked into, say, most non-s------- strip clubs and spoke/acted towards the dancers the way this kid does to "virtual" women? A trip to the parking lot and a new set of finger-splints Posted by MovieBob at 4:36 AM At the same time he is having conversations with Jim Sterling on Twitter about having this teenager arrested for hate speech since he lives in UK. I'll say that again: Bob Chipman talked about getting a teenager arrested because he disliked his Youtube video Take a look at his attempts to back away from that statement in the comment section after he is called out on it MovieBob 96p-84 weeks ago Just to clarify: The discussion that took place on Twitter was less about whether l or anyone else thought he "deserved" to be arrested and more about the fact that, since the videomaker in question was operating out of Europe (North Ireland, specifically), his actions may actually be in violation of either a local or EU law against cyberbullying (or encouraging the same.) Reply Just another example of the "gaming press" doing what they do best. Advocating for censorship and the imprisonment of those whose opinions they dislike

How GamerGate Wins Part 1

How #GamerGate wins, part 1 Hello, friends I think it has become clear from the responses of game journalists over the past week that no amount of revelations or evidence of collusion emerging from GameJournoPros is going to shame them into doing the right thing. The fact of the matter is, the only audience they have left is the audience that a) doesn't know about #GamerGate, or b) knows but disagrees or doesn't care. There's literally no impetus for them to come clean. publicly apologize, or change their practices. At this point, they really ARE acting as if gamers are dead. To them we might as well bee Don't get me wrong, Milo's work on GJP is a breath of fresh air into our movement. Each wave of evidence bolsters our claim, our rallying cry that game journalism is corrupt and biased and pushing a very clear political agenda. Perhaps equally important, after each fresh revelation, the fact that games journalists shrug and go "So what?" only further fuels our (very, very justified) outrage. And that outrage drives #GamerGate forward. All of this is vital, and Milo, Based Mom, and Adam Baldwin should all be applauded for being public figures on our side Nor do l want to dismiss the work of Internet Aristocrat, mundanematt, the NotYourShield Project, Camera_Lady and SFO, and synthovine's crew. They have all done really important work that, quite honestly, we could be digging into for the foreseeable future. Again, though, their work has gone largely ignored by the gaming press and will continue to be ignored. If you haven't watched Totalbiscuit's video, where he expresses frustration over his attempts to set up a roundtable with industry journalists, go watch it. He discusses it in this Twitlonger http://www.twitlonger.com/show/ngd6a6 The point really is this: Gaming journalists have circled the wagons. They've circled them so completely that it's entirely possible they no longer believe #GamerGate is a relevant problem. I saw a journalist the other day, one who was in GJP but has so far been neutral, tweet that he was going to start blocking "assholes." This was shortly after he complained about his publication coming under scrutiny by a few admittedly oversensitive members of #GamerGate. Even the neutrals are joining the hugbox, people I asked a question last night of the #NYS stream. I asked them if they thought #GamerGate was going to become an industry fixture, its own ecosystem. The 140 characters limited what I was trying to say: If #GamerGate is the new normal (and I think, for the moment, that it is), what do we do next? Where do we go from here? I also asked if we were the Watchmen; what I meant was, Are we going to be perpetually watching the Watchmen? And here's the truth: I don't think so. I think there's still work for #GamerGate to do, but I don't think it's clea ng up Kotaku, Polygon, and their ilk. Those places, like 4chan (if you were a channer), are dead to apologize tomorrow a or, at the very least, continue frequenting the new sites we've found. Which, incidentally, I think they know, hence why we probably won't see such an apology. It wont end #GamerGate. Could it have ended #GamerGate four weeks ago? Yes. Absolutely. An apology in the wake of the "Gamers are dead" articles would have taken nearly all the wind out of our sails. The gaming news rags could have continued their colluding and agenda-based eporting, and we would have settled down They could at least half of #GamerGate would reject the apology romise mor il the next scandal or crisis. But now, afte irc the willful "head-in-the-sand" attitude of the majority of games bloggers, now it's too is the fut nestly, I think we've already won. Ko e dying the slow death they deserve How do we "win?" We We've found new sources of news. We've begin cutting off their advertisers. Had #GamerGate never occurred this would have happened eventually anywa thi gs intendo Direct and Yo ube personalities ng it. And we will keep ng it. Each fresh revelati ers, urging them t HOULD wave of ema advertisers hoddy news sites. In my the ubers (whose tha how we win. We try, make it so that the big companies is disclosed known r than with corrupt medi ady know the industry is watching, waiting to see how this goes. Do ally think they're not going t lea critical tipping point where these companies recognize two things: 1) there are enough #GamerGate folks to make them a demographic worth courting, and 2) their own hardcore fans are going to support their games whether Kotaku comments on their misogynistic overtones or not. get out of bed wit mes iourna hoddy journalism. It wasn't always that way nd the journalists could have easily turned this around earlier in the campaign. But they didn't, and here we movemen ady reshaped the internet, gutting 4ch ing xposing pot arthing some t DiGRA. We will tha acketeeri EDS to be arthed reshape the internet, because it rs ory is inevitable more sca ube will eventually crowd out the ress sites.

7 Reasons Cracked is Full of Shit

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

Keep not paying attention to Kotaku

+ Polygon & Kotaku ARE taking rating hits, they want you to be discouraged (self.KotakulnAction submitted 9 hours ago * by AllSailHatan For the love of God don't stop doing what you're doing. Kotaku and that 6 month ago bomb threat are clear evidence they're desperate for views & attention. That was them showing weakness, they'd do anything to cover it up. 1 They've already milked everything they can, with more accurate GamerGate coverage they won't be winning views with click bait BS in the coming months, GG isn't acting up anymore and there wont be any 'shock news from our side to capitalize on. . 2 Look at Kotaku's steam curator followers. Total Biscuit has 162k followers. Kotaku has 19k. The numbers are clear, Kotaku fans aren't even really gamers. 3 They're most likely purposely cutting costs firing people etc just so they can afford to buy views in order to discourage you. It's worth it for them to buy views just so you think you're having no effect, but they can't sustain that for long 4 They're using other clickbait BS to promote themselves, you click a square image link with a 'shock' header you don't even know goes to Kotaku or Poly, I've definitely seen it but idk where- I don't really look at shitpostbait sites often. 5 Pro GG people have been trolling the site looking for more inconsistencies. At this point, there's much less need to view pages & there's many more pages archived. We were accidentally boosting ratings, shouldn't happen anymore 치ng disappointed with the amount of people who used direct links today Honestly, we need to remind people to USE ARCHIVE I'm very really bad, that's thousands of views. We need people to keep pushing ad sites and denying views. Seriously, you want to help? Write some e-mails, make our voice louder. It might help if someone could do a weekly infographic on who's shown themselves as allies with GG. Kotaku doesn't have infinite money, they're definitely falling. Polygon might be funded and upheld by a network we don't really know, but they'll probably be harder to rating damage than Kotaku. PS I know Gawker and Vox, but who knows with this industry!? Even if we don't see results right away, IT'S WORKING. The other sites are clearly damaged, even if the ratings continue to go up know that we're making their partners pay out of pocket for each view Keep e-mailing, keep pushing, keep archiving, keep denying ads and views, and keep viewing and ad clicking sites promoting GG, they need the funding 64 comments share

People asking for transparency in journalism and the removal of political agentas from it are worse than the organised genocide of the Jews.

If you can find what is wrong with that statement, then congratulations on being able to read.
