![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")

And even if Zoe Quinn were "guilty" of sleeping her game to the... well, not the top-into basic recognition, maybe?--so f------ what? Are the "journalists" being harassed as well? Is writing about video games even real journalism I think the biggest problem with "gamer culture" is that there is even something people call "gamer culture". And that it gives these idiot-meatheads something that they think they have to defend as a member of the in-circle. Zoe Quinn is a victim of this idiotic mindset, combined with spurned-loser inspired misogyny, and it's just fueled by all the gamer-sites trying to keep up the mask of "culture" or journalism, or whatever. Jesus, get a job, be a decent citizen, and then play games on the weekend and then seriously no one will give a f---. Mmmm. I'm so delicious. I know (or at least hope) that most of these s-------- are just kids to maybe early 20s, but even staying up late at night so that I could play Civ I after my folks were asleep l never thought I was fighting the man. It was just something fun I wanted to do after did all the homework and s--- the grownup world makes you do Logged professorlight Re: Zoe Quinn Article Discussion Sir Postsalot quote « Reply #154 on: Today at 02:30 PM Karma: 82 Online I know this is getting off the subject, but I love the idea of them hunting down women and minorities to come speak out against the "SJWs" - in other words, trying to ind women and minorities who will come out against games being more inclusive for women and minorities. You don't speak for me! I'm perfectly fine with gaming being geared almost completely toward young white heterosexual males, both on the developer and side! F--- the SJWs for suggesting I'd want anything else! I mean, come on, man. I don't think that s--- even makes sense inside the echo chamber, you have to really lie to yourself to make the logic contort back in on itself I think that's the point where every pretense gamergate might have had of being a legitimate concern is set on fire and thrown out the window... in order to know they needed support from minorities and women to make their protest legitimate they needed to know that they would give legitimacy, and they would be acknowledging their social importance, but at the same time they knew they would never get their support by legitimate reasons, instead being forced to resort to lies and badly done sockpuppets That's a level of double standards I can't wrap my head around, how can you know this people are important to your cause to be a part of a unified, equal force, and still fight to harass and discriminate them? it's not even stupidity or immaturity at that point, that's just plain evil Logged Pages: 1... 6 Z [8] reply ) (notify send topic) print)](https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/list/000/831/399/1f5.jpg "Cracked_forum_dismissing_gamers")
