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

Author has 304 answers and 740.1K answer views. 5y Not that I care that much either way, but it did expose a lot of corrupt game developers and game journalists. 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

Unbearable F----- 11/17/14 (Mon) 21:34:37 ID: b8f50f No.543773 543785 22544261 I have some inside information. Basic ally, Intel is on our side, despite claims from others. Here's what you need to do to put the final nail in the coffin on Gamasutra: 1) E-mail them, saying that it appears that they are actively advertising on Gamasutra again and that you are disappointed if that is the case 2) Explain why you are disappointed on a personal level. Provide any evidence that you can supporting this position. For example, if you are a person of color, explain that Leigh Alexander's racist tweets remind you of discrimination that you have experienced in your lifetime 3) Explain that Gamasutra has not dealt with these issues in any meaningful manner. Imply that any advertisements on Gamasutra, no matter what type they are, feel like an implicit endorsement of Gamasutra and their attitudes toward you 4) If you have purchased anything from Intel recently or are responsible for any business purchases from them (e.g. you are in charge of purchasing computers in your corporate IT department or you are the IT person at a small business), explain that it has made you regret your purchases with them if they are still advertising with Gamasutra. Explain that the advertisements could affect future purchasing decisions with them. Provide as much evidence of this as possible, such as receipts, purchase orders, etc 5) Thank them for listening to your concerns, and request any updates possible from them since this means a lot to you Basically, Intel is looking for volume and sincerity from us. Even if you can't write well, as long as it's pro-gg and means something to you, it will help a lot P.S. I've seen some people say that Gamasutra is on Gawker or related to Gawker. Gamasutra is on UBM, which is completely unrelated to Gawker. Please try to avoid factual errors on these e-mails such as this one

TDA WP 43328 POSTED: 20 November 2014 6:12 pm POST QUOTE Paperboy So, ok, I am sure most of you know about this Twitter user "a man in black" who has been getting a lot of play and attention from the anti-GamerGate folks. Well, Ijust saw this exchange between Ryulong and him, which made me think he was formerly a Wikipedia editor. Then I remembered there was actually a Wikipedia editor who went by the name A Man in Black, an administrator, who was the subject of an arbitration case five years ago that led to him being stripped of his admin privileges iki/Wikipedia Arbitration/Requests/Case/ an ac Posts: 41 Joined: 24 Sep 2014 He pretty much confirms it in this tweet since the Wikipedia user A Man in Black stopped editing in 2009 due to that arbitration case https://archive today/AtFz Ryulong and him were partners in crime on a bunch of Pokémon stuff: iki/W kipedia:Administrators%27 noti ceboard/Archive60#Fr Bobabobab ia ser: Secret/Archive 18#1 ma ia wiki/User talk:A Man Black/Archive8#1m ssin a Sithlord Sabrina @SabrinaLianne 3h Turns out a-man-in-black is former wiki admin, desysopped for breaking multiple rules & buddies w/ Ryulong #GamerGate 793 ★87

Wikipedia - Arbitration case request from TDA(The Devil's Advocate)

Statement by The Devil's Advocate This dispute has eluded resolution through other means ranging from raising concerns at conduct noticeboards and attempts at mediation regarding content. While editors with fewer contributions, as far as I know only those who are or are seen as favorable to the GamerGate side, have been routinely sanctioned or blocked, the established editors who are unfavorable to the GamerGate side and are the source of a lot of the conflict continue unimpeded. This is at least partly due to the fact that they have a sufficient number of sympathizers to prevent any consensus from being reached regarding their conduct. Another problem in this situation is that there are admins who are either WP:INVOLVED on the subject taking action against their opponents while giving them a pass or admins whose actions are otherwise dubious. Some of these admins have a history of questionable use of their admin tools on other topics. I can elaborate further on those details, though some of it is evidenced in the discussions linked above. Even though general sanctions have been imposed in the topic area and there are BLP discretionary sanctions covering some of these details, it has done nothing to stop this behavior from continuing and escalating as it has over the past week. A thorough review of all administrative conduct on this topic area, ranging from rev-deletions and suppressions to blocks and topic-bans, is requested in addition to reviewing the general conduct of editors.-The Devil's Advocate tk. cntrb. 00:41, 10 November 2014 (UTC) Note: I have trimmed my statement and removed my replies to comply with the restrictions on statements. An abbreviated version of my listing of admin concerns Dreadstar called Vivian James an attack cartoon in a dispute over the image, and has enforced the general sanctions, including this block for this comment Gamaliel has enforced the BLP discretionary sanctions and general sanctions , despite his involvement in the topic dispute itself and even after this arbitration request Future Perfect at Sunrise took several, actions against people in disputes with Ryulong , while ignoring Ryulong's own misconduct, even supervoting on a topic ban proposal seven hours after it was initiated. Future has a history of administrative and editorial misconduct See also: 1 2 Cuchullain is clearly involved regarding Anita Sarkeesian's article, but began repeatedly using the protection tools on GamerGate related articles after Sarkeesian was brought into the controversy, including making contentious edits through page protection based off 11 minutes of discussion Black Kite is involved in the dispute yet closed a discussion on Titanium Dragon in furtherance of Future's topic ban Bilby is heavily involved in the GamerGate articles and deleted the editthat prompted Titanium Dragon's first topic ban imposed by Gamaliel ]d) Other admins are named more due to questions of judgment regarding specific actions, especially when citing BLP. ArmyLine's topic ban is one such case, as is PhilKnight's use of oversight tools regarding a link to Medium blog post. Not every admin action is being questioned, nor is every admin who has taken action on this topic named as a party. This is about certain admins or certain admin actions.-The Devil's Advocate tk. cntrb, 21:20, 15 November 2014 (UTC)

Wikipedia- Jimmy Wales answers Ryulong's comments in Ryulong's AMA in r/GamerGhazi 02

[-] wrecksomething 6 puntos 18 horas atrás Really felt Wales made a mistake stepping into this relatively minor issue. It's basically a one-word error (at most) that has since been rewritten Isquith writes The women bombarded with violence and abuse, the men hurling invective at anyone challenging their privilege; spurred by his unexamined need to find common ground, both, Auerbach writes, should share in the blame Pretty straightforward that Isquith is calling Auerbach out (rightly or wrongly) for victim blaming. Wikipedia originally summarized this as Isquith. criticizing his insistence that women harassed and threatened and men attacking those who challenged their privilege should both be held responsible for what Gamergate had become." Which is almost the same sentence through a thesaurus A different user changed "criticized his insistence" to "criticized him for saying" which I think was meant to make it seem more moderate, less insistent. But "saying" also reads as though the words came from Auerbach directly when they're Isquith's criticism. Which is Auerbach's complaint, that he didn't say those words Ryulong was wrong to take Auerbach's complaint as a threat (though it is strange that he singled out Ryulong). He apologized. From what I gather, Jimmy Wales was more upset at the article's error (and at a different user's behavior) enlace padre mmy Wales, Wiki Founder 10 puntos 8 horas atrás Actually, I'm not particularly "upset" about anything. I seek to defuse the situation by finding ways forward for good people (no matter what their opinions are of the underlying issues) who care about neutrality more than they care about gamergate This means that I am not recommending (and indeed actively recommend against) hordes of gamergaters who feel injured by the media, etc., coming to Wikipedia to "Right Great Wrongs" https://en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Wikipedia: Tendentious, editing #Righting-Great-wrongs But I am also recommending that several editors who have been involved realize that they are not helping to defuse the situation and to simply step away and let others handle it. If you've become part of the wider Internet drama (for example, by starting an AMA about yourself) surrounding Gamergate, then you likely should step away from the article Too many people view these things in terms of crime and punishment. It shouldn't be like that. We're here to write an encyclopedia, not engage in wider social conflicts enlace padre

Wikipedia- Jimmy Wales ask Ryulong to stop editing the GG wikipedia article due to his animosity towards David Auerbach 02

Then Mr. Auerbach should have spoken to Mr. Isquith rather than act just like Gamergate and bother some powerless editor on Wikipedia. His dislike of my paraphrasing of someone else so pinion of his writing is not a BLP violation in the slightest-Ryūlóng (琉竜) 20:21, 17 November 2014 (UTC) Then you have no idea what a BLP violation is and you should stop writing and quoting people that puts them in a negative light. Isquith is not the issue. If you are so tone deaf that you did not see your writing as being particularly sharp, you should step away. Repeating that you think it's someone else's problem is also problematic given your "sincere and heartfelt" apology. -DHeyward (talk) 21:20, 17 November 2014 (UTC) I can only second what DHeyward is saying here. And "act just like Gamergate" is really an expression of bias unbecoming for a Wikipedia editor. If you have such strong feelings about the article, then step away and let someone else edit it.--Jimbo Wales (talk) 21:31, 17 November 2014 (UTC)

Wikipedia- Jimmy Wales ask Ryulong to stop editing the GG wikipedia article due to his animosity towards David Auerbach 01

David Auerbach Are messages like this what you had in mind when you extended the olive branch?_Ryūlóng (琉竜) 08:11, 15 November 2014 (UTC) Yes, that's precisely what I had in mind. BLP violations are not ok, and a journalist falsely accused of a position that he does not hold and did not write has a right to respond here. I would like to repeat here my point that there are plenty of good Wikipedians who will look after the article, and due to your conflict with Mr Auerbach it would be best if you just stepped away from the whole thing.-Jimbo Wales (talk) 10:38, 16 November 2014 (UTC) This is frankly ridiculous. There was no conflict with Mr. Auerbach until he came onto the site and made one by failing to assume good faith in my original edit weeks ago. I retracted all of my statements about him where I characterized his message to me as a threat. I gave him a heartfelt apology and told him why l reacted the way I did because he asked me to apologize and he just goes "don't believe you" and feels that my subsequent reaction to this is evidence enough. I am disappointed by this turn of events. There is no valid reason I should step away from the article. There are dozens of editors who have come to Wikipedia for the sole reason of rewriting the article to favor their fringe movement and they remain untouchable or undeterred because they have no real dog to lose if they get banned. But just because one writer is upset with the paraphrased criticism I wrote about weeks ago that has been rewritten already and that the various editors below acknowledge wasn't entirely incorrect means I have to step down? I have no agenda with this page. I have no personal conflict with Mr. Auerbach other than my disgust with how all this has panned out. This has somehow given the people who want to silence me for opposing their opinion are using it as an excuse to have me topic banned when there have been much more egregious violations of BLP that they have performed but remain untouched. But I'm at fault because Gamergate is just the latest in a line of nerd groups who have made me out to be the Wikidevil incarnate. The very fact I'm arguing this with you is probably making the Gamergate camp on reddit giddy with excitement that you might personally ban me for doing so. And Mr. Auerbach would not even know my user name if The Devil's Advocate hadn't plastered it at the top of the discussion on the talk page about Mr. Auerbach's complaint to you.一Ryūlóng (琉司11:19, 16 November 2014 (UTC) I recommend that you take a couple of days off at least, to reassess. There have been a great many complaints about your behavior, of course not all justified, but enough justified that you should realize that you are making yourself a part of the problem rather than a part of the solution. Let others take it on.-Jimbo Wales (talk) 18:56, 16 November 2014 (UTC) Barely any complaints are justified. And the article remains fully protected for another week. All that's going on now is angry talk page and notice board discussions-Ryūlong (琉竜) 19:00, 16 November 2014 (UTC) If barely any complaints are justified and if nothing is going on, now seems as good a time as any for you to step away. WP:OWN takes many forms.-Jimbo Wales (talk) 19:02, 16 November 2014 (UTC) Ryūlóng (琉 I'm not sure if taking a break while there's a discussion regarding topic banning me is going on will help matters in that regard. 19:03, 16 November 2014 (UTC) ) To the contrary, I believe that many or even most discussants would take a voluntary stepping away from the article as a wonderful gesture of good faith aimed at preserving Wikipedia's reputation for neutrality and seriousness about biographical concerns. I know that I would personally appreciate and value it.--Jimbo Wales (talk) 19:13, 16 November 2014 (UTC)

Wikipedia- Jimmy Wales ask Tarc to stop editing the GG wikipedia article

I think it worthwhile to summarize what one part of what happened here clearly so that other Wikipedians reading this talk page are better able to understand the situation. David Auerbach, who writes for Slate (magazine), expressed a concern on twitter that "ajimmy_wales 152: "women...should both be held responsible for what Gamergate had become"-Isquith does not say I said this, and I didn't." [7] 9. 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 from this article. There are plenty of good 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) I did not "yell" ant anyone via Twitter, I responded to someone who is in serious "doth protest too much" mode, that is all. What I do off-wiki is, quite frankly not your business. @Drmies:, yes, I am in favor of the entire passage being removed if it is this problematic. Tarc (talk) 12:45, 13 November 2014 (UTC)

Don't even get me started on what happens when you reveal to certain SJWs that you're a transwoman, like me. They'll then accuse you of "not being a real woman" or that "you'll never be accepted as one of us if you don't side with us." Transmen can get this too, as some idiot SJWs will call them "gender traitors" and other dumb crap.
