![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")

![What Happens to [REDACTED] in Arkham Knight ls Really Not Good Evan Narclsse Filed to: BATMAN 588 6/30/15 12:00pm Something happens in Arkham Knight that puts it way up in the running for Darkest Batman Story ever Massive spoilers follow. I'm not done playing the latest Batman game yet. Overall, I'm enjoying Arkham Knight a lot. Many of the game's features-upgraded implementation of existing gadgets, introduction of new ones, stealthy Batmobile sequences-have kept me happy so far. But the main reason Ive played these latter-day Dark Knight video games has been to see how Rocksteady (and Warner Bros. Montreal for Arkham Origins) re-configures elements in the character's mythos. Based on decades of reading Batman comics, I have ideas about who the Arkham Knight is. And, for when I finish the game, I'm working on an article about other Bat-stories that may have influenced its narrative. Still, one thing that happens about halfway through the game left me reeling. quantity-queEvan Narcisse 6/30/15 12:03pm Like I said above, I haven't finished playing Arkham Knight yet. Maybe you should finish the game before publishing posts relating to individual plot points? You're basically the guy standing up during the middle of a movie saying "OH MAN WHAT RAMIFICATIONS WILL THIS SCENE HAVE FOR THE REST OF THE MOVIE?!" ★ | Reply](https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/newsfeed/000/986/314/9e6.png "Kotaku writer jumps the gun to complain about [Character]'s story in Arkham Knight")
