![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")

![-] Claude_Reborn [score hidden] 9 minutes ago Chris What is your opinion on the ABC report now you have seen the whole thing? permalink save report give gold reply -l oldmanphire [S] [score hidden] a minute ago It's interesting. This isn't the first time that I've gotten stuff cut out. Last year in the aftermath of Sandy Hook and the Movie theater tragedy, a news outlet came out to the shop and asked about video games. They were trying to see if there was anyway that they could tie in the popularity of blops 2 with gun violence. I pointed out that you don't learn about guns by playing games with guns in it. They edited me down to saying I didn't learn about shooting guns from video games, which was pretty funny. This piece was odd because my entire assumption about GG is that it stemmed from the Zoe Quinn incident and the lack of transparency in gaming journalism. I was a little puzzled how GG went from that to Shingeki no Anita and violence against women in games. They did cut a lot of the points I made about journalism and the industry's direction. They did ask me my overall opinion on Anita and edited that too. I was a little put off out that they did put some words in my mouth. I did put it out there I don't agree with dox'ing people or death threats over something like video games but I don't think everyone who is calling for some sort of transparency is one of the bad guys. It isn't fair It's like how the media tied the looters in to the Ferguson protests or recently the police shootings in NYC with the eric gardner protests. It's very a dishonest tactic permalink save parent report give gold reply](https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/newsfeed/000/899/556/60b.png_large "60b.png_large")

Don't know who she is. Don't care 2) Using a Twitter account, clearly linking user to his employer, an employee adovates boycotting Stardock software, because Randi Harper says Brad Wardell slammed' Shanley. By implication And a confirmation that he doesn't support Randi and her hate group Microsoft, Microsoft Studios, and Xbox are not cool, with you, #GamerGate console peeps So why would a Microsoft / Xbox employee advocate boycotting Stardock? Are you cool with them? #GamerGate Brad's right. Crapping on your customers is not:a good way of doing business Whether you're a Microsoft employee advocating boycotting Stardock Or just an Microsoft Studios employee who doesn't like gamers](https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/newsfeed/000/899/527/425.png "Microsoft Azure engineer vs Brad Wardell")
