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. …………………………....…..……….…..... Attack type Victims Motive View source Inquiry XA 28 languages ✓ Perpetrators Internet trolls, particularly from 4chan, Internet Relay Chat, and 8chan View history Tools ✓ Gamergate August 2014 - 2015 Women in the video game industry See all media Online harassment campaign Zoë Quinn, Anita Sarkeesian, Brianna Wu, and others Gamergaters created conspiracy theories falsely accusing Quinn of an unethical relationship with video game journalist Nathan Grayson.[23][24][25] More broadly, they alleged unethical collusion between the press and feminists, progressives, and social critics.[17][26] [27] These claims were widely dismissed as trivial, conspiracy theories, baseless, or unrelated to actual issues of ethics in gaming and journalism.[28] [29][30] Gamergate supporters frequently denied that the harassment took place, falsely claiming it to be manufactured by the victims.[31][32] Misogyny anti-feminism anti- progressivism FBI investigation Gamergate has been described as a culture war over cultural diversification, artistic recognition, feminism in video games, social criticism in video games, and the social identity of gamers.[28][33] [34] [35] Many supporters of Gamergate opposed the increasing influence of feminism and so-called "social justice warriors" on video game culture. [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

WTF? Even GamerGate's not safe on MAL! Part 1

| 2 minutes ago who cares? Whether it was sexual in nature or a simple friendship, it makes no difference. They were simply close with one another. It is not forbidden for a journalist to mention the work of somebody they are friends with, and even when it comes to a formal review, it can be acceptable as long as they disclose very boldly in the review that they are friends with the developer and thus have a positive bias. There was no review, however, so he was not required to disclose anything. It would have been better if he did, yes, but not disclosing it in a relatively trivial mention of Zoe's work does not make him corrupt and evil and oh god somebody lynch him My perspective on the ETHICS IN JURNALISMS is this: you guys are freaking out over nothing and by allying with a noisy, hateful mob, you are only destroying your chances of ever being taken seriously. This does not apply to you since we are friends, but for anyone else, knowing they consider themselves allied with GamerGate' makes me automatically lose significant amounts of respect for them. GamerGate is a plague on the industry Reply Com-to-Com Delete Report Gonzo-nyan 17 minutes ago >A reporter being friends with their source is certainly not advised, but it is a thing that happens and is perhaps unavoidable Um, no it shouldn't happen this directly like what Nathan Grayson and Zoe Quinn did. They were in a sexual relationship with a gaming journalist and developer. There is a fine line to be made in journalism in any criteria, but this is where it goes too far. And yes, it is true he didn't write a review but he did spotlight her game in a "Game Jam" article where he recommended her game along with many others on steam greenlight. Here's a video where a journalism professor talks about ethics under these circumstances https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4-7RLxrsJ04 Com-to-Com Delete Report 22 minutes ago Because what happened was a single, isolated issue and was not even necessarily a breach in ethics; at worst, it's a murky area. A reporter being friends with their source is certainly not advised, but it is a thing that happens and is perhaps unavoidable. If Kotaku Guy wrote a positive review of Zoe's game then it would certainly be a problem, but that is not what he wrote so there is no 'scandal' here. Just friends being friends But yes, as a journalism student, I would prefer random forum idiots not claim my industry is 'corrupt when they know nothing about it. Reply Com-to-Com Delete Report Gonzo-nyan | 42 minutes ago I'd love to hear why you think we have no idea how journalism works Com-to-Com Delete Report 44 minutes ago If they aren't right-winged misogynists then they are deluded children who have no idea how journalism works Reply Com-to-Com Delete Report Gonzo-nyan | 4 hours ago That's nice Saying that gamergaters are nothing but people who send death threats and harass people is kind of hasty generalization there. :/

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.

Polygon Greed at its "finest"

Kotakuin Action) 848 submitted 23 hours ago *by MasterSith88 So Polygon acknowledged accepting $750,000 from Microsoft (https://archive.today/Yfmti) to create a documentary series promoting Polygon. The estimated budget for this documentary, "Press Reset: The Story of Polygon" was $75,000 (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2533830/business?ref-tt_dt_bus). I have seen budget estimates on imdb be off as much as 100% but never by a factor of 10.
