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

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

Certainly after watching this interview, my opinion is that Vox has a lot more to do with GG than he does really the Sad Puppies. That said, however, the vast majority of this interview was completely irrelevant to GG Nobody in Gamergate really cares what Vox Day thinks or believe about other topics.

BlockBot Team boasts that Witchfinder received Police Information Notice, Cambridge Police Investigate and Rescind Notice

Cambridge Police Are Awesome, Rescind 'Harassment' Notice, Exonerate Witchfinder Posted on April 24, 2015 Your author has been very impressed with the diligence and professionalism of Cambridge Police and also with its Professional Standards Team. The Block Bot team have recently boasted online, using my real name, that I have been served with a Police Information Notice. The police have now completed a thorough internal investigation and revoked it. I have therefore decided to publish the rescinding letter to set the record straight. Screenshots below. (NOTE - the police were informed I was publishing this article and have not obiected) In any event, a few days later your author was served with an official police notice of harassment, which said I had sent Aunty Sarah' a legal letter of er. legal complaint Aunty Sarah' was notified of the service and she and her friends publicised that I had received it online, presenting it as a finding of guilt. James Billingham (@Oolon) even used my real name Sarah Brown @auntysarah Apr 2 @Kegluneq1103 he currently has a police harassment notice against him for his troubles. View conversation Sarah Brown @auntysarah Mar 30 @kitty_republic @PlanetCath round to my house, demanding money to stop the harassment, threatening journalists for wanting to talk to me View conversation Sarah Brown @auntysarah Mar 30 @kitty_republic @PlanetCath I recently had a police harassment notice served on someone. The bar was quite high, including sending people View conversation Sarah Brown shares the PIN with the world in exaggerated form, mentioning allegations that did not appear in it. Your email and "claim has been passed to Hampshire police as evidence against Sam Smith in his harassment campaign against me. I suggest you get some real advice, rather than a "solicitor" find an actual solicitor to make any further contact. Any further correspondence will be reported to the police as harassment. Sam Smith might want to share his own correspondence with head of litigation at Prieskel &Co... It might explain why he dropped his "legal claim. Thanks James Billingham. Billingham reveals the existence of the PIN using my real name. The Block Bot team need to reflect that I am not just some law student. Your author has been representing people free of charge to High Court level for 4 years and winning. The legal work I have done would cost £5,000 if I had to pay I did the whole job on a Sunday. Fortunately your author does not have to pay-I can do it myself and if I need a second opinion awesome lawyers like my friend Stefano can check it for me. If something goes wrong I will not back down- I will challenge it. And most of the time I tend to win Ref: CO01371/14 2 April 2015 Mr S Smith Welwyn Garden City AL7 3SY Creating a safer Dear Mr Smith, I write further to your complaint against police (reference CO/01371/14) regarding a PIN (harassment notice). This was issued to you on 7th March 2015 following an allegation of harassment received from Ms Sarah Brown. I have considered the complaint investigation report carefully and I am satisfied that there were deficiencies in the process of issuing the PIN. Specifically, you were not provided with the opportunity to explain your actions, nor was the proper procedure followed when you made it clear that you were unhappy with the issuing of the notice I therefore consider it appropriate to rescind the PIN. Please accept this letter as confirmation that the PIN has been rescinded. I can confirm that no crime was raised in relation to Ms Brown's allegation and no entries were made on the Police National Computer (PNC) or the Police National Database (PND) regarding the issuing of the PIN I have had the incident log from Ms Brown updated with a note to the effect that the PIN has been rescinded Ms Brown has been notified of the rescinding of the PIN and the reasons for it. Please be advised that should any further allegation of harassment be received from Ms Brown the Constabulary will deal with it in good faith and take the appropriate action. Yours sincerely Inspector Steve Kerridge Cambridge City Safer Team The Police official rescinding the harassment' notice.

You cannot honestly say that a movement that has raised well over 100k for various charities is completly evil, can you? I have never yet seen a gamergate supporter that wasn't either obviously sexist or suspiciously critical of feminism. Since your affiliation with it came up only after you were repeatedly questioned about anti-feminist comments, and your "ethics in gaming journalism" crap was only brought up initially as a way to slam feminists, your attempts to defend yourself are pathetic. Perhaps you missed every other gamergate related thread, in wich I banned all gamergate supporters. As this movement is known primarily for harassment of women on web sites and there are women on this web site, I have no tolerance for it. Banned for misogyny Quote

There's an explosion every time someone complains about sexism related to gaming, SF, geekdom, etc. Even a thread on this site about porny cover art on SF book covers went ballistic. A lot of guys like that stuff (after all it's there to cater to them) and they take criticism of it very personally. It's a very basic argument over whether games should be "publicly acceptable" to the huge variety of people who play them, or if they should cater to the tastes of a self-proclaimed male gamer elite. In a sense feminists ARE attacking the culture of these guys, telling them that the games they love aren't actually aimed at them any more and that they are no longer representatives of a favored elite.

It's passive-aggressive misogyny on the part of cowards who will speak up in favor of some or other piece of gamergate but not against the storm of hatred that is the rest of it. And it is way beyond anything that will be accepted on this site The following people have been kicked for misogyny: Angel Heart, Ultimate Paragon The following people have been banned for more extreme misogyny and/or due to a previous record of bad behavior: HellHound01, AtriumCarceris, norse, FDW, Mathuen

What really happened in Calgary

Oh lookl It's Vivian James, a character in the new game "Afterlife Empire", a game designed by Danielle "Women making Video Games For Charity" Also featured is the name of an ethics awareness group who donated over 9000 dollars to help to make this game o as part of hat the heck are THESE posters of though? Well it turns out hey are part of a comic created by Alison Tieman called enospora: Sowing Strangers", portions of which she has hared freely with the public since May 2014. Alison paid for a ooth at the Calgary Expo to sell her comic. The lady in the "Defend Earth: Put the Dogs Down" poster is amed Cheryl Hunt. She is the Secretary of State in this comic, woman holding a position of power. "The guy in the "I Want ou To Fight the Human Scourge" is named Blunt Trauma. Hene re pictures of them in the comic. Alison was unable to sell her comic and establish a foothold in the mostly-male comics industry because the officials running the Calgary Expo told her to leave using security to expel them out of the building in such a rush that they left behind an expensive piece of equipment. One of the organizers laughed at her as she disassembled her booth and she Fans travelled to the Calgary Expo primarily to get a chance to meet Alison, buy copies of her comic, and get their autograph. The next da not wanting to disappoint them Alison met them in a park so they would not be let down. Apparently kicking her out was not enough, Calgary Expo officials called the police on her. Alison was never refunded the fees she paid to run her booth. Calgary pays CalExpo The Calgary Expo has not story of why Alison has been banned from their convention, or why they refused to respect their business agreement with her. At first they said it was because she attended a Women in Comics discussion panel (since she is a woman who creates comics) and that she raised her hand, was called upon, asked to speak, and spoke after being given permission to. Later this narrative changed, instead the Expo had a problem because in addition to selling her comic, her friend Anna (cosplaying Vivian James) was also selling t-shirts Calgary Expo officials claim that she applied fraudulently for her booth, that she signed up as "Xenospora" and changed to Honey Badger Brigade" (a name she and her cosplayer friend Rachel use with their friend Karen, also visible in picture) without informing them or asking permission. Investigating the Calgary Expo vendors page proves this to be a lie, as the Calgary Expo lists them as the Honey Badger Brigade Although the URL for the booth stayed www.xenospora.com this was not misrepresentation because posters of the comic were featured at the booth and the comic was being promoted by there. Alison Tieman, the comic's creator, is the founder of the Honey Badger Brigade, so it made sense to focus on advertising her comics product (since this is a comic con) rather than focus on selling Vivian James shirts, since that was only a secondary product being sold there Useful reading http://www.breitbart.com/london 2015/04/19/calgary-expo-faces- http://honeybadgerbrigade.com/2015/04/18/go-home-gamer-girl http://www.examiner.com/article calgary-expo-censors-the- opinions-unwelcome-the-honey-badger-affair/ http://www.reddit.com/r/KotakulnAction/comments/3320bx/op_ca lgaryexpo_continues updated list_of sponsors/ https://jennothardwire.wordpress.com/201504/19/equality-for- me-but-not-for-thee-calgaryexpo-honey-badger-brigade-fiascol http:/dailycaller.com/201504/18/female-group-ejected-from-

Technically speaking, Ralph was ejected from the panel for no reason. The "no videos" rule was not established until well after the event took place. Adding onto that, the person taking video wasn't punished, and I sincerely doubt he was being inconspicuous about recording. Simply put, Ralph posted a single photo before the panel ever even began and Wu went ape shit and demanded he leave because she didn't like him. He did nothing wrong and security had no right to remove him from the panel. If there was a no photography rule it needed to be established either on the pamphlet stating the Wu was gonna be doing a GG panel, or by a security personnel standing at the entrance to the panel. If neither of these things were established then Wu and the convention security overstepped their boundaries.
