![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")

Those who manipulate this unseen mecha- nism of society constitute an invisible government which is the true ruling power of our country... We are gov- emed, our minds molded, our tastes formed, our ideas suggested, largely by men we have never heard of This is a logical result of the way in which our democratic society is organized..." 7359 314 >74337 >74590 Another point on the article. Contained within this piece is the idea that the demands of consumers, gamers, and a consumer revolt are somehow base, unworthy or, in need of improvement only "sophisticated" criticism can provide > But above all there need never be a conflict between a journalist's or critic's duty to inform and a reader's desire to be told only what they wanted to hear > But, crucially, in their view a proper games press would never criticise gamers, gamer culture, or their favourite games in anything except the most objectively" technical ways > Beyond that, games writing should serve no other purpose, no "agenda" save that of the gaming consumer defined in the narrowest terms possible > On the doorway to paradise appeared the words: Agendas Are Unethical Understanding this meta-point requires context as to the nature of what this "criticism" or "non-objective" reporting actually manifests as in reality This criticism takes the form of tired screeds, painting gamers as inherantly misogynist, decadent, "entitled", and that they and their hobby are in need of improvement whether they agreee to this or not. Attempts to resist this agenda setting are labelled as "extremist", or a "terror", campaign", or "torches and pitchforks" > They are now all but criminalising the very notion that writers should be paid for their work, suggesting this is a conflict of interest in its own right. > [They] believe the only way to the paradise of "ethical journalism" is through expelling such people from the ranks of the gaming press and, indeed from any and all media that comments on gaming Underlying this point is the idea that the setting such agendas and levelling such criticism is a "critic's duty to inform", and that gamers calling for advertisements to be withdrawn are restricting freedoms and 'legitimate' criticism of gaming. (But as TotalBiscuit commented advertisement revenue is a priviledge, not a right, and by viciously attacking gamers sites have lost that priviledge, not their right to speak.) But in these viewpoints, we can see the philosophy of another character from the Curtis "Century of the Self" series that the article heavily references. That character is Edward Berneys, the father of public relations rna Berneys believed in the national importantce of public relations. That its shaping of public thought, culture, opinion and behaviour was an important aspect of modern democratic society. The mass public, the "mob", could not be relied upon to think for themselves or move society, or in particular vote, in the "right" direction. And so cadres of guiding men should use public relations and propaganda as a kind of "enlightened despotism to direct the masses in ways they 'should' go An underlying philosophy of the article is that the critics of video games have a similar "duty" to critice, direct, and ultimately guide gamers and video games down a more 'enlightened' path We Should Expect this Idea to be alluded to in the coming series of articles this month Game journalists see themselves as the 'enlightened depots' of gaming culture and discussion. Their attacks on gamers, their constant accusations of misogyny, and above all their censorship is justified as they are 'cleaning up' a morally degenerate or at best unaware hobby. The are agents of improvement, and their own corruption, cronyism, intimidation, and exploitation is natually to be ignored or justified by the ends This point is unlikely to be stated directly, but I suspect it will serve as a ideological basis for many articles which appear. To counter this we must present evidence of journalists unethical behaviour to show that, even if their argument was valid, they are unsuited custodians of a moral message The vicars have hiked their robes once too often](https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/newsfeed/000/844/720/189.png "189.png")
