Honest question! I know there are lots of well-meaning GamerGate supporters out there. I've talked with several of you, and some of you have been incredibly respectful and reasonable during those interactions. Others much less so, but let's ignore them for now. I just want to talk to YOU. You, the cool rational people. You've been personable and gracious despite our disagreement, and I want to repay that in kind. I would like to give you the benefit of the doubt. From what I can gather from our collective conversations, you guys are completely not on board with the harassment and abuse and awful stuff that's gone down. You aren't even here to talk about Zoe or Anita. For you, GamerGate isn't about that stuff at all. You support GamerGate's STATED purpose: exposing corruption in the game industry and press, defending the "gamer" label against unfair negative stereotypes, and reminding the industry that the core gamer audience matters. You've been very insistent to me and other critics of the movement that the harassment unpleasantness "isn't what GamerGate is about", and you are frustrated that so many of us attribute it to you.

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

Ah, I remember this one. Proved me how much a hypocrite one person can be really. He points that because there an small portion of harassment and no leader that GamerGate is a failed movement on its own…How despicable can you be to agree with the issues, and then suddenly discredit the entirety because of nick picking. GamerGate has goals, and had accomplish them to. First was getting the attention to the mainstream media, next farther spread of the message while sending E-mails to advertisers on the mistrust and violations in journalist ethics.

How hypocritical can you be to repeat history when you are a youtuber that talks about history! No movement is perfect and each is different in it’s own way or appeal. Movements are lead by people that will at times embody power in leaders, but that’s not GamerGate. We believe that we are all equal in this and have organised properly to achieve goals within 3 months of this entire thing. For him to discredit this for not being like others is selective and undermining the principles at hand that need to be address.

I can’t support a person that can’t feel for something because it’s different or place bias/poor research before facts. At least in the end of this we will know who truly cares for our culture and who profits off of it with ignorant bliss.
