![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")

![Jackie Brown @GOBBBluth Follow Ghaziers slowly come to the troubling realization that they aren't a majority. #GamerGate I outed a couple of Gators in an /r/games thread and now I'm being brigaded. sameGha Not & call to arms, not a call for sympathy. Just want to put it on the record as another piece of evidence to be sifted through years from now. There is an /r/games thread about GTAV being taken off the shelves at Target in Australia due to violence against women. One poster there came out with some stock standard MRA s--- so I made a PSA that he was a regular poster to /r/mensnghts and to take that for what it's worth. Nothing more. Then an obiou$ Gator showed up and I did the same. Now it appears that my comment history has been downvote-brigaded and they are "counter-opping" by outing me as a ghazi, circlebroke and negareddit poster as if that is somehow shameful. I was debating posting at all but I thought it was useful information people might want to know about those people (Who didn't fully disclose thein affiliation which I found to be somewhat unethical, l must say.) before 901ng off and agreeing with them which could have created a bigger mess. i probably shouldnt have said anything, but it's done now and here i am. Either way, I just want a permanent record somewhere since it will all come into play in the future when this whole flasco is further documented. Have a good one! 个 [-] santsi 14owos 2 hours ago" I'm glad you brought this up. From what I've seen all the major gaming subreddits are overrun by pro-gg opinion. They could be brigading but it's probably just the majority opinion, which kind of proves this whole "gamers are sexists" thing. Try stating some criticism about gg in the most neutral tone you can and I can guarantee you'll still get downvoted.

In 'N Out Chef 09/29/14 (Mon) 01:25:21 ID: 025547 No.31253 [Replyl [Last 50 Posts] Welcome to my humble thread, where I have a very simple question for you WHY THE F--- ARE WE NOT SUING PEOPLE YET? I've seen this culture that's been going around among GG supporters of "hurf durf, we don't need to call the cops when people threaten our lives and hack our bank accounts because we're not whiny SJW p------." Frankly, it's very disturbing and it needs to stop. We need to get the legal system involved, and I'm going to tell you why The amount of illegal s--- that anti-GG has been doing is unbelievable. They hacked TFYC, they hacked Devi Ever they were PROVEN to have forged a statement from the San Francisco Police Department regarding the Anita Sarkeesian case, they've sent death threats, they've slandered members of GG and THEYRE STILL F------ GETTING AWAY WITH IT BECAUSE WE DO NOTHING ABOUT IT We now have actual evidence that 4chan mods and Humble Bundle employees may be stealing credit card and bank info, and so far people have just shrugged. You know what? Okay, maybe you're a super badass Internet Tough Guy and you don't care if you get doxxed. But if you sit back and let them do this, that signals to them that they can keep doing it to other people because they're not seeing any negative consequences from it. Hell, we could have the entire goddamn planet join up with GG and it wouldn't change a thing as long as these criminals aren't brought to justice. If we open up a lawsuit against Humble Bundle and 4chan, we can subpoena them and find out exactly who was responsible for these incidents, and use them as a gateway to discover the entire network of anti-GG harassers. This offers us a previously unavailable opportunity to bring the entire anti-GG edifice crashing down, and everyone is squandering it How much longer are we going to put up with this? How many people need to be made to fear for their lives and the lives of their families and friends before we f------ DO SOMETHING? If GG isn't going to take action against this kind of behavior, then the whole movement deserves to crash and burn. If we don't protect our own, nobody else will](https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/list/000/841/126/370.png "Snippet captured from /gg/")

The Leader of Gamergate 10/18/14 (Sat) 12:42:13 ID: 0a939b No. 174903 Reply] Last 50 Posts Watch Thread] The Comic Book World Is Gstting Safer for Women, But Gaming Wonkt ls ionn Bat the CamingI woke up this morning to see this plastered all over my feeds by friends of mine who happen to be famous comic-book creators. Pic related 试 ime mi n-women-qamin Because of my jobs I've gotten to know and become friends with many of the biggest names and even more of the not quite big names in the comic-book world. They are generally great people who are kind and accepting in the way that is forged only through a lifetime of mistreatment and bullying. It's what makes the current state of the industry so disturbing Thonk you to rry friends in comics who hove jained the hespes, men andwormen Thanks fr roting back, sheher it's yu or your frends What you need to understand is that comic-books fell to the hordes of SJWs over a decade ago. They came marching in with their social science PhD's and told the creators how 'transformative their art could be. Glowing academic papers were written about certain writers and artists elevating them above their peers. The rest were told how, they would be taken seriously, if only they could distance themselves from the misogyny and racism of their medium, and more importantly, their fandom. The creators, who were already left leaning, didn't find difficulty in moving just a bit more. The creeping politics of hate seeped in, and each time it was met with acclaim from a corrupt CB media The comic-book media who had rushed into lockstep with the academics were finally being validated. These pathetic creatures who werent talented enough to actually make comic books, were stuck scraping pennies off the floor so they could orbit the industry that so many dreanm of working in. The creators and academics touted and promoted the 'right' sites and granted exclusives to them. Blacklists started for the ones who questioned this new paradigm, but it was short lived. Any who initially resisted saw their inevitable doom, and fell in line. We were soon told on a daily basis that we were disgusting ignorant monsters for liking the things we liked, for not being more inclusive, for not supporting the right books So we folded Actually folding indicates that we put up some sort of fight. We never even tried to push back. We were used to the bullying, it was one more name to call us. We'd proven for decades that no matter how bad things got, we would still buy the book every month. No matter the quality of art & writing, we couldn't have a gap in our collection. Our love for the medium was stronger than our integrity Time passed and this became the status quo of today In the name of social justice they've become censors and bullies. F------ artists are publicly advocating for the censorship of art they don't like. It's endemic to the industry at this point I've sat at industry cocktail parties and listened to editors from the big publishers tick off names of people who are 'unemployable' because they don't toe the political line. Or they dared push back over mandated inclusiveness You will never hear about this from the creators, they'll give interviews where the first thing they'll say is how it was an artistic choice, not an editorial edict. How it made sense to the story they were trying to tell. It happened organically and provided a far more interesting perspective for a character that had grown stale I don't even blame them for it. Why wouldn't they? While CB's are dying, the OC produced has become multi-million dollar development deals for movies and television. A successful run on a big publisher IP can make a name that leads to a successful creator owned book, and that leads to fat Hollywood option money Which is al the industry cares about anymore This is my world now. I pretend in public and on social media to agree with everything they say and do. The daily disgust I have for myself and for my peers is the price I pay to live my dream, or at least that's what I repeat internally. At this point I don't even know anymore, but I'm old and this is the only thing I know how to do Leader, you say, what does this have to do with GG? Sage this thread! I agree, sage this s---, it's the butthurt tears of a f----- who's posting on the wrong board But, I do hope that you read and understand Because l'm you I'm your future If you give up, if you fail. The world I lost and my poisoned dreams will be your daily life Understand if you lose this time, there will be no continue, no extra life, no respawn Gospeed Leaders, I'm proud to be part of this community.
