TheKingOfRuckus 54 minutes ago This is NOT what #gamergate is about. I was mad reading tweets about this on Twitter and I'm even more angry now watching this segment. Most of the people replying to this video will probably know the truth but if you're one of the few that doesn't: #gamergate spawned out the Zoe Quinn scandal. She is a game developer who cheated on her ex boyfriend with several different people, most of which who are in the gaming industry. When he found out he was p----- and he went and posted about it on Tumblr, providing plenty of screenshots of conversations with them to PROVE what he was saying Since she's in the industry, she benefited from those relationships with other people. This has also been verified several times, and basically continues to BE verified by the actions of corrupt gaming media on a daily basis Various websites refused to report about the issue and refused to let members of their forums comment about it. This changed the topic of the conversation from how Zoe benefitted to the general corruption and lack of ethics in gaming journalism. That is #gamergate. Zoe Quinn's scandal lead to it, she is no longer relevant but at times tries to get back into the spotlight. #gamergate is NOT about hating women. It is not about hating ANYONE. All that b------- is part of an agenda that Polygon Kotaku, Gamasutra and certain other websites are trying to push. Go to Twitter for yourself and search the hashtag, you will find more sensible people talking about this issue than trolls trying to cause problems I'm disgusted by how these websites spin a b------- narrative on a daily basis. I'm sick of seeing this happen, I'm tired of people who are too easily spoon fed reading the crap presented to them and not doing their own research. There has been so much lying done by "professionals" on the anti-gamergate side that I am no longer surprised when the rabbit hole goes even deeper They had the nerve to try and use minorities and women as a defense mechanism to help push their b------- narrative. That's how #notyourshield was born These people are afraid because consumers are realizing their power now. They're worried because when we finally do win this other media outlets will have to shape up. Less people are content being spoon fed or believing the b------- placed in front of their eyes. Things have been changed now, we just have to keep going to make sure this changes sticks and becomes the new status uo When they go on TV and flat out lie like this it only makes us stronger, only makes us want to bring them down even more. I don't care how long this s--- goes on, I won't give up on the IDEA of positive change happening in the gaming industry. I won't ever forget how developers are still to this day literally scared of losing their jobs just for speaking their minds If you haven't been following this from the beginning, I've left out a ton of stuff here. Go and do your own research, you'll find much worse from some of the people we're supposed to trust To be 100% clear, I'm not painting all gaming journalism as corrupt. There are plenty of trustworthy writers out there who just can't get involved in this because it'l cost them their damn jobs. The people at the top have that much influence and it's a damn shame

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
