The Leader of Gamergate 10/17/14 (Fri) 16:03:58 ID: 27b6d7 No.159364 159588 159822 2181017 158502 Third devfag here again HR in every company I have ever worked out is literally filled with social justice women and the department here had a company-wide seminar on GG in late september about how employees should conduct themselves on social media considering the incident Basically, before now we could put anything on our twitters and whatever and they didn't care... for a while a significant quantity of us posted pro-GG opinions those of us in development and IT Eventually, HR pulled their heads out of their butt and realized GG was a thing and after reading all of our tweets or email threads or whatever and watching Sarkeesian's videos they decided to put a stop to this support because it "reflects badly" so we were banned from mentioning gamergate on social media and using the #gamergate tag. They are policing twitter, 4chan, KiA /gg/ with a vengeance Keep in mind this might not be representative of all HR depts, surely not, but ours was special in a couple ways in that many of them are fresh-out-of-college socially opinionated and hysterical young women, and that they absolutely detest all of the NERDS that make the games this company sells. They hate all the nerds in IT too, but will constantly leverage them to keep the devs and junior IT in line. We all detest this because when the heat is on we're the only ones staying late, on weekends, busting our ass to meet deadlines with little or no overtime... let's just say the most HR has to do if it's not accounting-related is basically criticizing us QA gets hit hardest of all (they always do, a lot of us do feel sorry for QA), and 2 qa testers caught discussing it during break were let go for poisoning the work atmosphere. Keep in mind that QA doesn't technically fit into "company-wide" and they weren't privy to the new rules. Devs riot. Progs riot, IT riots, there's a new meeting, with QA involved this time, where HR doubles down on anti-GG stance So then this opportunity came to stick it to devs again after an uncharacteristically long period of peace and they ran with it, preventing all gamergate discussion online or at work. Of course the female programmers think this is b------- too but no one can say anything (they apparently fit in with the brogrammers well and I played some rp sessions with them, cool people) For a department whose new policy was o squash gamergate here was a LOT o gg discussion in HR. #StopGamergate2014 became he one loophole or discussing gamergate on witte YES #gamergate s outlawed but #stopgamergate2014 is ok. Managers are telling people pro-GG devs/progs might find themselve let go at the end of the current project cycle, and every person in the office is p-----. HR is especially p----- because IT refused to block VPNs for nonspecific "security reasons" and managed to convince real management why it's important. We managed to stick it to HR by using their words against them and blocking social media and Hatechan from the whole company.... EXCEPT the vpn users obv and they know it. Real managers take their side but are clueless because they don't care This is more than enough info for anyone in the company to recognize said company, but all I can say is that it's a prominent team in the US that worked on a number of console/pc titles. I'm not really wary of retaliation because pretty much all the devs/progs/it are on vpns except for the beta males who like to isolate themselves and HR has pretty much used every tactic it can. I think I'm the first to spill the beans but I dunno maybe there will be follo3p later. if a dev gets canned then I'm pretty sure most of us would start dropping names on /gg/.... I guess well see

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
