TotalBiscuit, The Cynical Brit 9hours ago (edited) Even me posting here will be seen as some tacit support of "harassment", not that I've seen a shred of evidence of Sargon engaging in any of that, even if some of his points I don't agree with Gallants blog is chock full of glaring falsehoods and terrible advice. The suggestion for instance that I flipped my s--- over the Intel thing when I in fact vocally and publicly supported it on Twitter. This is a libelous lie from the man. The idea that devs COULD stop me using their footage. Not only is this against US Fair Use doctrine but its blatant censorship of critique, an affront to free speech not to mention a really REALLY dumb idea. The last time someone tried that, they got their companies reputation shredded, the video criticising their behavior clocked in 4 million views and their company was essentially destroyed without any help from me, as gamers condemned what they rightfully saw as anti-consumer censorship to try and hide how poor their product was. The idea that I'm friends with Milo when in reality l've communicated less with him than bloody Brianna Wu. We could not be further apart on the political spectrum. The idea that I harassed Wu when she in fact harassed me with accusations of "transphobia" not to mention her ridiculous freak-out when I had the audacity to suggest that hey actually, games aren't full of violent r--- it's a taboo subject that is barely ever referred to much less actually depicted in games Indie developers would be absolute fools to take the advice of this man. He has no idea what he is talking about, no idea what he is doing and would happily lead any developer straight off a cliff with his nonsensical Pied Piper act. Blacklisting a critic is an incredibly stupid idea. It shows you are unable to take criticism, you are afraid of the critic (which gives them power over you) and in the case of gallant, you believe that your own personal ideology is reason enough to see someone driven out of the industry You know, that sounds very familiar, almost like it's exactly what people accused Gamergate of being, a movement to harass a certain group of people out of the industry. Now we see the truth, these people want their ideological opponents out of the industry and are willing and able to use large websites to peddle their agenda Shame Gallant is too delusional to realise that he brought a toothpick to a nuke fight Show less Reply . 847

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

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
