![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")

Leader 02/17/15 (Tue) 21:23:35 ID: 37d32c No.375572 2375801 375812 22375820 375859 3758752375877 23758 2375892375725 2375894 2375950 22375954 2375955 22378042378127 2378184 22378184 22378193 22378202 Watch Thread] Greetings I am a developer of a moderately successful indie game (how can i prove this without compromising identity? does it matter? we'll be one of the indie hits of 2015. 250k sales in early access so far) Being involved in the dev side of things, my twitter feed is mostly filled with other devs and anti-gg rhetoric. Being a reasonable and objective person, I wanted to come hear the other side of the story, as the pro-gg side on twitter has a lot of shitlords as does the anti-gg. So l have a few questions 1) why the f--- does gg continually focus on individuals like anita and zoey quinn? surely these people have little or nothing to do with the overall goals of GG and continual focus on these individuals is not only distracting to the movement as a whole, but actively stopping it from being taken seriously. I am currently unable to speak about anything i disagree with in anti-gg sentiment because then i have to get lumped with shitlords who send d--- pics to anita. even the banner image in this sub refers to feminist frequency. Who gives a flying f--- about feminist frequency, jesus christ, f--- sake, monkey christ shitballs. i dont agree with most of what FF says, but it's a reasonable and introspective commentary on what is happening in game development, which seems to be exactly what GG wants 2) At which outcome will GG be considered a success? 3) why does GG not care at all about harassment being done in the movement's name? There are a lot of people in the industry who will gladly participate in a conversation about ethics, but for many constant death threats just outweigh that issue. I feel that if for ONE F------ DAY GG could get its s--- together and actually take a f------ stand and seperate the movement from the harassers, it will all resolve. The SJW's on the other hand will not be willing to sit at a table and have a discussion on any other issue until the harassment problem dissapates. I can't f------ stand that people say s--- like 'gamers are dead, I identify as a gamer, but I can't say that s--- in public anymore a big divide between the dev and r communities which f------ sucks and its worse. does gg not realise or not care that everyone else sees this as the ter problem now, thanks to f-------- on twitter. There is al I have more questions and comments if this thread doesn't get saged. I sincerely wish l can have a decent conversation on this matter, but i fear it will be all for nought. regards some f------ ㄩ Leader 02/17/15 (Tue) 21:44:56 ID: d757c0 No. 375659 22375897 22375993 File (hide): 1424231095990 png (15.21 KB, 180x209, 180:209, 1422910350888.png) >375572 (OP) WIZARDS: why does GG not care at all about harassment done in the movement's name? A guy names SailHatan, proGG, tracked down the guy who sent death threats to Anita and handed them off to the cops. The cops said they can't do anything with it unless Anita presses charges. SailHatan passed the info on to Anita. That's the last we heard about it 9 Another proGG, Gel, started the antiharassment patrol, and she and many others donated a lot of their free time to trying to police trolls on Twitter with little effect. She quit becayse she was getting harassed endlessly for her efforts We've also donated to anti-bullying charities KiA and /gamergate/ have strict no doxxing, no brigading, no harassing policies When we learned that the FBl was investigating the swatting and threats, we f------ cheered because we want these people gone as much as anybody else No SENSE oF So lemme turn the question back to you, OP You tell me. What the f--- else can we do?](https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/newsfeed/000/916/145/fec.jpg "Hmmm...")

Of course I'm not neutral, that's why I am coming here to learn more about the side of the issue that I would consider myself less sympathetic too. It is extremely difficult to find anything about either side that isn't extremely biased so why not just come to the source and ask? permalink save parent edit delete reply ↑ [-] Redknight5 [5] 1 point 10 minutes ago I have a thread on the pro GG forum asking the same questions, and I am actually getting to have an open discussion here with people who see the issue differently then I do, how is that a removable offense? permalink save parent edit delete reply ↑ [-] IrbyTremor 쑈socTAL JUSTICE JABBERWOCKY [M] 1 point 8 minutes ago I have a thread on the pro GG forum asking the same questions Yeah thats called JAQing off.

Corruption is bad... Why are both groups screaming at each other from across the isle? Video games are an amazing way of addressing social issues and making you feel things in ways that other mediums cannot so it makes sense that gaming is the prefect medium for addressing sexism, but why does it feel like it has to be an "either/or" at this point with sexism and ethics permalink save edit delete reply](https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/list/000/857/928/2b0.png "Do not question")
