I don't know much about gaming culture but by the sounds of it they make the Taliban look like a progressive, woman-friendly bunch of people SEP 04 notes Permakink Posted at 8:7 PM Tagged: feminism gamers anita sarkeesian OCT APG ation MORE APGNation: Do you comider yourself a gamer, and if so, what have you been playing recently? AB: I'm sot a hardcore gamer. T've done a litle bit of gaming, however 1 focus mostly on chess, golf, and riding my mountain bike. I've tried Halo, Killswinch, Grand Theft Auto.. Ive tzied Angry Buds. I've also tried the Fuefly game, the recent mobile game I've done voices for some gomes, so I'm associated with the industry. But I woulds say I'm a handcore gomer My hands and brain haven't been trained to use the conroller peoperly. If there was a Eevt person hooter game, and I, m sure ere is that rm not aware of, that had an acnual nifle as the controller, 1 could do that “#GamerGate supporters are, in my argument or have already Won the For me, Irealily just harvem 'e learned how the buttons and switches twork, and I know argument es time to do that Itgets frustrat ng for me so 1 put it down and go play golf, or chess. That awkward moment when the leader of the Gamergate movement admits he doesn't even know how to properly hold a gamepad. Honestly, one of the craziest things about GamerGate is the notion that women would actually sleep with people for good video games reviewWS oCT 27 1) As gamers have made it abundantly clear, they don't trust journalists (and their shoddy ethicsl) at all, so it's not like they'd even pay attention to reviews. 2) Instead of doing it with all these different guys to ensure they'll say your game is good wouldn't it just be easier to, you know, make a good game? ave been BUYING good 3) Don't people realize big name companies h reviews for years anyway, so technically, a woman would be better just getting some cash together for a bribe than offering herself to someone? Logic fail. "This has nothing to do with hating women, it's about journalistic integrity Honestly, even the people insisting GamerGame is about "journalistic integrity" come off as pretty terrible "OK, so the lives of several young women will be destroyed forever, but it's worth it to clean up the corruption in video game journalism! Eh, when I think of the problems facing the world (ISIS, Ebola, Climate Change) corruption in video game reviewing isn't one of them. And it's certainly not worth a woman getting killed over I miss when I thougt nerdy guys were endearing and not crazy, women-hating nutcases o notes Permalink Posted at sz:03 AM Tagged: gamers eumen's rights anita sarkesian fem inism "Felicia Day wrote a post about how her silence on GamerGate was because of fear. She was immediately doxxed.'" Dear God. Do people finally get this has nothing to do with "journalistic integrity" and is mainly about terrifying women? It IS kind of weird that so many Gamers are happily getting into bed with conservatives now Um..aren't these the same people that blame EVERYTHING on video games as soon as a school shooting happens to take the heat off guns? You guys think Breitbart are on your side now? Wait until another mass shooting happens then theyl be trying to ban those games you love so much note Permaknk Posted at 2:a5 Ps Tagged: stop gamergate gamers anita sacknesian repablicans demoas gun violence Does the ex boyfriend who put a ton of effort into smearing Zoe Quinn realize any woman who knows how to use Google will never want to o near him again for fear he'd do the same thing to her in the event of a nasty split?

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
