![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")

That writer drilled feminism a new a------ though and doesn't sound like a traditional conservative type lol. It's completely believable though, these same mothers probably protested gta with whats his nuts but they didn't understand the gaming culture then. They understand SJWs all too well. It's not just conservatives though, it's christina Sommers and equality feminists as well. Anyone with the ability to think critically. They see through s--- like this AMSzewczyk Posts: 1 Joined: Today, 01:27 be/tXQEl6XSfWU New York.. Another massive liberal state laughing at their manipulation. There is hope lol. Hello, and thanks to the original poster of the link to RoQ. Weve only been around since January 2014, so no surprise you haven't heard about us. We aren't necessarily "Conservative women, and we aren't all mothers. Yes, we are quite disgusted by feminists and SJWs. Repulsive lot. The reason we regrettably don't allow men to post is because a few male trolls were unable to be civil to women there who are trying to better themselves for the better, and turn away from feminist ideals. It created an unfriendly environment for everyone. I hate having to ban and moderate at all. I and the one other mod just don't have the time. In fact, we hate having to deal with comments at all. I'm glad to see our articles discussed elsewhere. Even if it's negative commentary, it's still good because people are exploring issues which need to be explored. We hope to make a bigger impact on women as time goes A couple of us play games. The ones that do, including myself, aren't opposed to any games really. Not even GTA. Ive never played it but would love to. Im more of a mmorpg player myself. And yes, we are extremely pro gamergate. The main issue we find most appauling is that feminists are pushing their way into yet another space where they aren't needed, and aren't wanted AND, game journos are the catalyst for their generally abusive behavor towards gamers, and games. Gamers aren't dead. We aren't maladpted creeps who deserve to be marginalized which is what many game journos have attempted to do. Funny that they they feel quite edgy marginalizing gamers, while at the same time complaining that women are marginalized in games. And we don't need some man boy or bedwetting shrew telling us what games we should like, or not like. Yes, gamergate really IS about ethics in not only game journalism, but journalism on the whole. I for one enjoy the fantasy elements of game play which seem to be at the heart of feminists/sjw disgruntlement. Women are not victimized, oppressed, disrespected in games because, THEY ARE FREAKING GAMES! Plus, can someone tell me what is wrong with a woman being a damsel in distress? Even so, if I don't want to be a damsel in distress I go kill things. End of story. I don't get get asked to group because I'm some empowered feministy female, or because l may or may not be sexy in the full black mageweave set while on my priest in WoW [transmorged] (that set actually looks totally not sexy on an Orc for instance). I get asked to group and don't get kicked out of scenarios because I do my job ingame. Men don't exclude me unless I'm having a particularly sucky day in game with lousy fps, or poor internet connection causing me to suck royally at whatever role I'm expected to fill. Feminists and sjws don't understand this. In one breath they want to empower women. In the next they want to remove choices from them. Im convinced they are all mentally ill But, sorry guys we can't have you comment on RoQ. If it were only gamer dudes commenting we would be cool. Unfortunately guys who have a general dislike for all women have ruined it for everyone. I hope some day that will change. I like to see lively conversations, but not if they are controlled by even a small handfull of losers who can't seem to enjoy the company of generally nice females. Take care OFFLINE Re: The "Quinnspiracy/GamerGate thread QUOTE](https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/newsfeed/000/861/419/064.png "A forum post on the Gametrailers forum")
