![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")

Voting with our wallets makes a good statement towards these people that Gamergate is against Kotaku is already trying to keep traffic to itself by turning it into buzzfeed-tier bottom-level maymay s---, making articles out of random images found on social media if they think it's attention-grabbing enough. They have a temporary answer to stall for time while distracting from the gaming controversy. This might be based heavily on speculation, but if Disrespectful Nod is the only thing that we do, then we're going to lose this battle inb4 "defeatist shill pls go" >inb4 OP can't inb4, hear me out If we want to compare wallets and page views to votes, then we're forgetting about the silent majority of voters. We already have a strong public image, but we lack in the publicity and assured content that Kotaku and the likes have. The holiday season's been discussed here quite a bit, but I don't think that everyone knows just how dire it is. Once Super Smash Bros is on the shelves, people are going to want to read reviews for it. Same with Pokemon or any other hyped game. If they want the information, they're going to go to the most convenient website. If Kotaku gets enough of a spike in traffic that Disrespectful Nod loses credibility, then we lose our main weapon against these sites. The scary thing about this motion ker might know this a ready P firms are il rating the ranks and more libera news ou ets are iding a ans at Kotaku and a u so g knees e almost a theve forme their nie a e game an har n it t This post isn't saying that we should stop Disrespectful Nod, it's an effective weapon that's had good results, but we almost need to do things such as >25093 if we want to have any lasting impact. Creatures that don't adapt to their environment are killed off. Kotaku is adapting until they can reap traffic. Are we willing to do the same?](https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/newsfeed/000/837/317/1c3.png "More Plans")
