![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")

Last 50 Posts' atch Thread] The front page has nothing good on it. I'll help that. HULU is Gawker's last major advertiser. We have a mountain of proof to let them know that they are putting their brand at risk if they continue to do so Get those efforts properly redoubled. Email HULU with proof of Gawker's blatant refusals to be responsible journalists, treat their readers/HULU's customers with respect and their general hateful public statements against people of all races and orientations. The hashtag wars, e-celeb drama and radio interviews are not nearly as important as shutting them down for good This is what we have so far: We dont have a personal contact form for them from what Ive seen. Finding the people in charge of Hulu's advertising department is crucial to getting through to them. We need the direct emails and company addresses for the people at Hulu so we can dodge help#email the robot network and get the message straight to real people in charge We still haven't gotten any confirmation on the status of Home Depot >Does this mean we stop emailing them?
