![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")

View on web 4:19 PM-18 Apr 2015 I-1 Mike_Donachie 114 points 18 hours ago Hi. This is Mike Donachie, using Reddit for the first time I hope I'm doing it right. I'm hoping to address the incident at Calgary Expo and my involvement in it, such as it was. First, my initial tweet. I expressed a concern that a major con like this would rent a booth to a Gamer Gate group. My understanding, at that point, was that such a group would be a negative thing to have at a con. Since then, many people have tweeted me to make it clear that isn't necessarily the case, and there are different types of people within Gamer Gate. It's not all hate speech, I'm told. People are people, as is true anywhere I didn't know any of that. So that means my tweet, suggesting it would be a bad thing to have such a booth, wasn't based on the full facts. I regret it and I wish I hadn't sent it. In future, I will be more careful with expressing opinions on Twitter, at least until I have more facts. I should have borne in mind that my words, as a journalist, would carry weight. I simply didn't think of that because I don't work in Calgary. That was a mistake Please be aware that, thanks to many helpful GG people on Twitter, I'm now reading more about Gamer Gate. I'm not a video games guy so I'm out of the loop. But I know I have a responsibility to be informed, so I plan to put that right. Next, the ejection of a group of people from the event. I don't know what happened and I didn't ask for it to happen. My initial tweet was ill-informed concern about something, but I didn't expect anyone to be thrown out. At no point was l in contact with anyone at the con. At no point did I ask for action to be taken. I still don't know why they wereejected I had never heard of Honey Badgers before this and I don't know much about them. I'm hoping we can talk about their aims and what they do, but I don't intend to judge them All of this is a long-winded way of saying: I'm sorry about what happened. These are not weasel words. I genuinely feel bad. I didn't want anyone's event ruined and I wish l'd thought about it before l tweeted. In future, I will act differently I've been to lots of cons and I know the idea is to have fun.I feel terrible that someone wanted to do that, and hasn't been able to Best wishes Mike](https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/newsfeed/000/951/206/bd5.png "Mike Donachie apologizes for CalgaryExpo Tweet")

Piemonke M] via /r/Games/ sent 1 minute ago No, that was removed for the same reason but a different level. /r/Games shadowban vs. global reddit shadowban And, quite frankly, that should speak for itself about the type of people involved in posting this news. Are they all here for a discussion on the topic or to promote some weird social movement nobody here cares about? tl;dr, mods claim they re not suppressing IGF racketeering story Say they're not touching submissions, things are being removed for vote manip or people posting are shadowbanned. Story resubmitted with effort to avoid those thin Immediately removed Sure, it was the admins and not you, but those admins are part of your mod team too Nope. Not all admins do the same job otherwise there wouldn't be so many of them. The admins who are shadowbanning those people are not the ones we have any contact with, letalone Deimorz So we're in the dark a lot as much as anyone else But surely by this point it's pretty clear why. You go out of your way to suppress criticism of you, your ban process is as opaque as it gets, people who criticize you get shadowba everything you can to suppress stories you don't like ed, and you to be doing Not really. You keep making false assumptions instead of applying Occam's Razor. I don't know what ForestL was talking about there and we've told him not to remove things he doesn't like remove things for those reasons, ever. In this case, everyone tr ny times now. We, in general, do not to submit the sto is shadowba ed ort full gs o Piemonkey sent just now some weird social movement nobody here cares about? Really. Nobody cares about it. That's why you've had to work nonstop to suppress it? Becau ody cares /r/games mods lie again we've told him not to remove things he doesn't like many times now So you're admitting he does remove things he doesn't like? Consistently enough that you have to tell him not to "many times?" Why is he still a part of your mod team? You're just digging yourself deeper here In this case, everyone trying to submit the story is shadowbanned or are vote manipulating How can you say this when you don't even have access to the information that would tell you that vote manipulation is happening? You're full of s---. But okay, fine. My comments in the forestL thread are showing up. I'm not shadowbanned yet. I'll post the story and we'll see if it lasts. How about that? permalink source reply](https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/list/000/826/310/e6e.jpg "More Reddit Suppression")
