![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")

Check out https://www.reddit.com/r/KotakuInAction/search? q=randi+harper&restrict sr=on&sort=new&t=all also search for: Anita Sarkeesian, Zoe Quinn. Or any of the other women they are targeting. It's led to offsite harassment, such as employers and conference organizers being emailed. Do you even run FreeBSD, or are you just here to complain about "SJWs"? permalink embed parent ↑ [-] DStoo [5] 16 points 6 days ago Do you even run FreeBSD I do. Do you even run FreeBSD? You stopped contributing code 3 years ago. I can't find a single commit that has your name on it permalink embed parent [-] braytowk 4 points 5 days ago Actually, yes I do for goofy little coding things and such. I'm in no way an expert on programming or anything of the like nor do I have the skills to apply to helping the project but I do enjoy using the OS Also, yes, I've posted in KiA I think maybe twice? I also watched as you harassed people, who've done much more work furthering the cause of getting women into tech fields than you ever came close to and either because of jealousy or because you're nothing more than a wannabe social justice advocate with no real knowledge of Social Justice, you harassed them out of their fields to the point they stopped I don't care about your politics, I don't care about you ironically using 'male tears'. What I do care about your abusive patterm and controlling behavior being bad news for any program or group of people you jump into A code of conduct is always a good idea as it gives the community a standing point to oust people who only cause problems, but I seem to remember a couple months back you were actually being asked to stop using FreeBSD in your name for specifically that reason. However, like people, you'll likely abuse that as well permalink embed parent](https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/list/000/995/649/b7a.png "Randi Harper is called out by /r/freeBSD for her abusive behavior")
![2:59 OOO ← १ठ ll 36% r/GamerGhazi u/nounal-the-adjective • 9y Know Your Meme is beyond saving at this point. http://knowyourmeme.com/ Join Seriously, look at the trending bar. Not only has Gamergate floated at the top of the toilet bowl like the faecal matter it is, memes about anti-feminism, fat-shaming and 'bikini bodies; have become more prevalent. The articles themselves aren't usually that slanted, but the comments...oh God, the comments. It makes me sad how within the past eight months, iconic corners of this web space have been taken over by Gamergate ideology. I have no doubts that internet users have held these opinions for a long time, but like a Neo-Nazi rally they openly parade their parochiality nowadays. It makes me wonder what the cyberspace will look like in the decades to come; whether the gators will be flushed down into the sewers (oh look! Even more conspiracy theories!) or if they'll continue to fester. I can only hope this one day blows over. 74 97 Comments [deleted] 9y They got Know YourMeme... we got Wikipedia. nounal-the-adjective OP ⚫ 9y Reply Haha...you made me that bit more optimistic.
