![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")

![1.5 METHODS: GAMERGATE ANALYSIS In this analysis, we assess the proportion of reporting activity associated with GamerGate. We used the most inclusive available dataset of potentially GamerGate-related accounts with data from ggautoblocker by Randi Harper,s featuring 9844 accounts acquired from its public block list on the BlockTogether system on December 29, 2014. We chose ggautoblocker due to its extremely inclusive definition of potential GamerGate related accounts-the system auto-blocks anyone who follows a certain number of identified GamerGate participants. Although this inclusive blocking practice has been criticized for over-blocking accounts,66 the inclusivity of this dataset is appealing for our uses, to search as inclusively as possible for any potential GamerGate connection.67 Reports to WAM! constitute a much wider range of harassment than the GamerGate controversy alone:88% of allegedly harassing accounts In-538] were not linked with GamerGate.-9844 accounts on the ggautoblocker list Most Alleged Harassers Were Unconnected With GamerGate % of alleged harassers in the ggautoblocker list 538 harassers 12% of these harassers (65) were on the ggautoblocker list, and thus related to GamerGate 88% 12% Unconnected to GamerGate Connected to GamerGate 65 out of 9844 accounts on the SOURCE: WAMl incoming Harassment Reports Nov ggautoblocker list were harassers:- 6-26, 2014, n=538 and Randi Harper's "Good Game Auto Blocker," Dec 29 2014 © Women, Action, and the Media 0.66% Only 0.66% of GamerGate related accounts were harassers Source: http://womenactionmedia.org/cms/assets/uploads/2015/05/wam-twitter-abuse-report.pdf](https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/newsfeed/000/963/547/cb4.png "GamerGate and harassment part 2")

When we got out front, we were thinking it was a drill so we [stayed] right out front, but there were cops, cars, and officers, and they made us move away from the building," Finnegan said. That's when one of the cops said there had been a 'serious threat WHAT?

This was the first official U.S. get-together for GamerGate, a movement that started last year and whose members regularly campaign against liberal feminism as well as what they say are ethical problems in video game journalism. Participants in GamerGate frequently use social media to annoy and harass various targets (including many of us here at Kotaku). Outspoken critics like Anita Sa doxxing and death threats-targeted at various people. Many Game Gate members deny these charges-and some have spoken out against fringe harassers-but given the anonymous, #GamerGate hay never campaigned against "lwberal feminism, but only disagreed with "radical feminism which is a completely diametrically different ideology OPEN A DICTIONARY nhav e movement tor a great ot harassment morphous nature of their campaign, reality is messy, to say the least.

![[- xeio 87 17 points 1 day ago Having been an avid internet user, forumer and online gamer for over a decade, I can tell you full-well that this whole "gender politics" b------- is brand new People have been talking about women in gaming for waaaaay longer than a decade. For example this panel from GDC 2003. Maybe you weren't paying attention to them, but that doesn't mean they didn't exist. permalink embed save parent report give gold reply [-] Netscape9 Pro-GG [S] 1 point 12 minutes ago Seriouslv, this is from vour link Mia Consalvo, Assistant Professor of Telecommunications at Ohio University began the session talking about how not to reach women. Right now, women don't tend to buy games at Electronic Boutique, but do buy games on-line or at Wal-Mart. That's because EB is what's called a "male-cultured space" and women don't feel welcome. Women are aware of publicized games but they don't pay attention to the commercials on TV because they seem to know that the ads aren't targeted to them. Often, the woman will play whatever the boyfriend bought. In general, according to Consalvo's research, young middle-class women will play any game but many are repelled by gratuitous violence Mia Consalvo is the president of the DiGRA executive board, according to DiGRA'S website: https://archive.is/YwfAUO You literally just provided that DiGRA is promoting feminism in the gaming industry Why do anti-GG people deny this claim and call pro-GG people conspiracy theorists when they bring up DiGRA? permalink embed save parent edit disable inbox replies delete reply](https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/list/000/960/898/94c.png "Anti-GGer accidentally confirms DiGRA has promoting feminism in the industry for over a decade")
