![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")

![First off, let me thank you for your very level-headed and rational inquiry. We're always happy to talk about our editorial policies and procedures. Peer (General Manager), Steve (Editor-in-Chief) and I (Publisher) have all been at IGN since the late '90s and we all came up through the content ranks as editors, so we love talking about how we procure, produce and publish content Like you surmised, we do have and follow an internal ethics policy, but it is not currently public. We do list items such as our re- review policy, IGN Deals standards and practices, an explanation of how we review games, etc., but we don't have a centralized place for our overall standards and practices at the moment. http://www.ign.com/articles/2014/02/13/igns-re-review-policy http://www.ign.com/wikis/lign/IGN_Deals_Standards_and_Practices http://www.ign.com/wikislign/Game_Reviews'5] However, this is good timing on your part as this is a subject we've been talking about internally for a bit and we're already in the process of updating IGN with a permanent, public outline of our standards and practices, so look for that soon I also want to let you know about our First Friday program where we invite IGN readers to tour our offices, talk with the editors and ask us anything they want. You can learn more about it here http://www.ign.com/blogs/ereeeek/2014/07/29/igns-first-friday/l6) Thanks again for checking in and know that ethics and professionalism is something that we take very seriously at IGN. We all have a passion for the subjects we cover -- from movies to television, comics to games -but we also understand the significance of our responsibility to IGN's readers, so we hope that comes across in our coverage Cheers, Tal Blevins Publisher, IGN.com](https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/newsfeed/000/857/389/d23.png_large "d23.png_large")
![I'd go "At Salon" or "For salon" rather than "In Salon" but that's just me.-Ryūlóng (朮司04:43, 13 November 2014 (UTC) I think it worthwhile to summarize what one part of what h ed here clearly so that other Wikipedians reading this talk page are better able tou n. David Auerbach, who writes for Slate (magazine), exp r that y_wales 152: "women...should both be held responsible for what Gamergate had become"- Isquith does not say I said this, and I didn't" [23]. This refers to the paragraph wisely removed& by Drmies after the complaint. It is important that we be really clear - this is a BLP issue. Saying that a writer for a respectable publication was criticized for something as awful as saying that victims of harassment were responsible for that harassment is a serious claim, and it is a claim that was never in the source provided. Meanwhile, Tarc claims that his tweets were "without merit" and further, in Drmies words "Tarc is yelling at Auerbach via twitter." This is a disgrace. I am recommending that Tarc step away from this article permanently, and that if he does not do so voluntarily and continues with this kind of PoV warrior behavior that he be topic-banned ood Wikipedians here to look after the article those who have been engaged in this as a battleground need to leave now.-Jimbo Wales (talk) 09:08, 13 November 2014 (UTC) from this article. There are plenty of g I did not "yell" ant anyone via Twitter, I responded to someone who is in serious "doth protest too much" mode, that is all. Tarc (talk) 12:45, 13 November 2014 (UTC) d to someone who is in serious "doth protest too much" mode, that is all.
