The Leader of Gamergate 11/01/14 (Sat) 23:00:01 ID: 563ae5 No.378888 We might want to check out the UK's relatively new Anti-Bribery law Act 2010 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brib ntt ntents In particular, Section 7 of the statute prohibits employees of commercial concerns from improperly promising a financially advantageous performance in exchange for an improper function or activity on behalf of the company for which the employee works. In other words, game journalists/publications accepting freebies from publishers/devs in exchange for favorable coverage ntt at This is one of the strictest anti-bribery laws in the world, and in fact was the subject of media conversation several years ago around the time it passed into law concerning whether it would be used to crack down on cash-for-coverage arrangements in the press. For example ntt azette.co uk/node/4 Only a few dozen people have been charged under the Act since it was enacted, so the legal contours of it are undeveloped and waiting to be explored, which means the British government might be receptive to an investigation at the least It's worth noting that UBM, Gamasutra's parent company, is based out of London, England, and would therefore fall under the jurisdiction of the agency empowered with enforcing the Act, the British Serious Fraud Office, which can be contacted here public.enquiries@sfo.gsi.gov.uk The Correspondence Unit Serious Fraud Office 2-4 Cockspur Street London SW1Y 5BS Here are their complaint proced ures ntt

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
