I never thought I could be dissatisfied with Colbert, but here I am Like Reply- 15-7 hrs 2 Replies , 7 hrs Firstly, that was the frst time Ive heard of gamergate, but couldn't believe what this woman was saying. Yes, women are portrayed in a very sexualized way in videogames, but so are men and it is like that in almost every aspect of modern society (I don't think thats good, but its not fair to single out video-games because of that). Secondly, I think video-games are actually more progressive than other entertainment-medias-there are countless games where women aren't the damsel in distress, but where they are the heroine of the game.I do consider myself a feminist (yes, I'm a man) because Im for gender-equality, but how is it equality if one group (the radical feminists) portray men that play video games as penis-driven, stupid women-haters that can't disinguish between a sexualized female character in a video-game and a real woman? I also see these radical feminists as destructive towards real gender-equality, because they make many people not only men)think that feminism is about hating men. The only thing this whole debate has accomplished is to drive the two paries further away from each other and strengthen stereotypes about feminism, gamers (especially male gamers) and the relationship between men and women in todays society in general. But Im sure the media has made tons of money from this scandal Like Reply 13 7 hrs 3 Replies 7 hrs Well maybe he is being a hero and saving someone in trouble regaardless of gender Like Reply ,12.8 hrs 5 Replies 6 hrs Disappointed in Colbert.

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
