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. …………………………....…..……….…..... Attack type Victims Motive View source Inquiry XA 28 languages ✓ Perpetrators Internet trolls, particularly from 4chan, Internet Relay Chat, and 8chan View history Tools ✓ Gamergate August 2014 - 2015 Women in the video game industry See all media Online harassment campaign Zoë Quinn, Anita Sarkeesian, Brianna Wu, and others Gamergaters created conspiracy theories falsely accusing Quinn of an unethical relationship with video game journalist Nathan Grayson.[23][24][25] More broadly, they alleged unethical collusion between the press and feminists, progressives, and social critics.[17][26] [27] These claims were widely dismissed as trivial, conspiracy theories, baseless, or unrelated to actual issues of ethics in gaming and journalism.[28] [29][30] Gamergate supporters frequently denied that the harassment took place, falsely claiming it to be manufactured by the victims.[31][32] Misogyny anti-feminism anti- progressivism FBI investigation Gamergate has been described as a culture war over cultural diversification, artistic recognition, feminism in video games, social criticism in video games, and the social identity of gamers.[28][33] [34] [35] Many supporters of Gamergate opposed the increasing influence of feminism and so-called "social justice warriors" on video game culture. [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

Author has 304 answers and 740.1K answer views. 5y Not that I care that much either way, but it did expose a lot of corrupt game developers and game journalists. 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

The Blockbot is shutting down.

Sunsetting @TheBlockBot Add comments As you all know there have been many valid criticisms of @TheBlockBot, unfortunately these have caused the community to lose some faith in it as a universal tool that can help marginalized groups have the best experience on Twitter possible. Criticisms include Not being good about certain systems of oppression [ex: racism]: The current team is not as diverse as it could be. We have failed to rectify that. Tending towards cliques: Groups of blockers are friends. Some have large accounts with lots of followers and this can intimidate either the users of the bot or some of the blockers. Not very flexible: If an account is put on a block list by mistake or for a controversial reason, the appeal process is unclear and stressful. Especially with in-community blocks, trust may be lost. For all these reasons we feel the current block bot project, as it stands, needs to come to an end. Not to mention, blockers and admins have been exposed to harassment due to running the service. Thanks for all your support. We'll be following up with details soon! Be assured, the service will continue in the meantime. @TheBlockBot team.

New Charity Ideas

Leader 03/19/15 (Thu) 17:43:55 ID: 2aacc6 No.492899 File (hide): 142680143508 (108.47 KB, 237x295, 237:295, 492307 Ok, I'm back and I'm going to sell you on why this is a great plan GAMERGATE FUNDING THE HEROES INITIATIVE OR THE COMIC BOOK LEGAL DEFENSE FUND WILL SEND aGGros UP THE F------ WALL. The Heroes Initiative is a charity that provides a financial safety net for comic creators in need. Due to the low-paying, no-benefits nature of the comic book industry, a lot of creators don't have the means to pay for emergency medical care. It's a great cause that helps the people who've made DC and Marvel millions The Comic Book Legal Defense Fund is an organization that protects the First Amendment rights of comics creators, publishers, and retailers covering legal expenses. They actively fight the censorship of comic books Both of these are beloved by those in the comic book industry, sjw and non-sjw alike, so Gamergate donating a sum to either charity will MAKE GAMERGATE UNASSAILABLE IN COMICS AND GENERATE SO MUCH SALT THAT THE SEA WILL SEEM BLAND."" Comics Alliance, Dan Slot, Cameron Stuart, and even f------ JOSS WEDON will literally be gnawing at themselves over this. How can they talk s--- about a group that has given money TO HELP OLD CREATORS IN NEEDI THE DEFENSE OF COMICS AS A MEDIUM without looking like a total ass? I'm sure Gamergate can generate more funds than any industry a------ has even spit in either of those organizations directions. Think of people like the creator of Rocket Raccoon and the family of Jack Kirby who'd be thrilled that we're giving back to very people whom Joss Wedon owes his f------ paycheck. So if you're p----- about Whor or the whole cover scam, think this idea over. In my opinion, it's possibly the worst thing you can do to them
