NOTHING HAS F------ CHANGED 10

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. …………………………....…..……….…..... Attack type Victims Motive View source Inquiry XA 28 languages ✓ Perpetrators Internet trolls, particularly from 4chan, Internet Relay Chat, and 8chan View history Tools ✓ Gamergate August 2014 - 2015 Women in the video game industry See all media Online harassment campaign Zoë Quinn, Anita Sarkeesian, Brianna Wu, and others Gamergaters created conspiracy theories falsely accusing Quinn of an unethical relationship with video game journalist Nathan Grayson.[23][24][25] More broadly, they alleged unethical collusion between the press and feminists, progressives, and social critics.[17][26] [27] These claims were widely dismissed as trivial, conspiracy theories, baseless, or unrelated to actual issues of ethics in gaming and journalism.[28] [29][30] Gamergate supporters frequently denied that the harassment took place, falsely claiming it to be manufactured by the victims.[31][32] Misogyny anti-feminism anti- progressivism FBI investigation Gamergate has been described as a culture war over cultural diversification, artistic recognition, feminism in video games, social criticism in video games, and the social identity of gamers.[28][33] [34] [35] Many supporters of Gamergate opposed the increasing influence of feminism and so-called "social justice warriors" on video game culture. [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

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

Koretzky's Jul 14 Update Causes Accusations of Bait, Koretzky's Jul 15 Update Highlights Angry Twitter Responses

Maybe I was wrong Updating an update Michael Koretzky | July 14, 2015 https:llarchive.is/YQJhT Michael Koretzky | July 15, 2015 https:llarchive.is/DDgNi I've certainly met some wonderful, fascinating GamerGaters these past few months. But maybe there aren't enough of them to make difference. Maybe I should've listened to my fellow SPJ board members: This isn't worth the time and aggravation, especially when compelling projects await. Top 10 terse Twitter retorts Yesterday's AirPlay update resulted in more than 1,000 mostly angry tweets. Here are my favorites, with brief replies... Maybe everyone else was right and I was wrong. I have no regrets, because I've learned so much and enjoyed almost all of it. But I'm beginning to regret wasting the time of so many others, lobbying them that GamerGate is worth a good, hard look. koretzky @koretzky 6h My Top 10 tweets about yesterday's #SPJAirPlay update.

Oliver Campbell Decides Not To Attend SPJ Airplay Following Scheduling Drama

Maybe I was wrong I WILL NOT BE ATTENDING AIRPLAY Their "big problem" is AirPlay's smallest part. As it says on the schedule page... https:llarchive.islCnSTe https:llarchive.islKhAO7 I will not be attending Airplay. The committee spent weeks debating the merits of the chosen representatives. I know there was a great deal of support from the community for my nomination. It will always be my honor to have been chosen. I've never claimed to be the voice of Gamergate; I've just always tried to make sure you all are heard Michael Koretzky | July 14, 2015 In 15 minutes, learn the contours of the cruelest online controversy youve never heard of Campbell and Ceb wanted that expanded to an hour. I told them no. BEFORE: https://archive.is/s1ChS I'm no longer sure that AirPlay is in Gamergate's best interest, and I'm no longer confident that the issues you brought to the table will be addressed in the way you deserve archive.is Saved from t://spjairplay.com/schedule/ 26 May 2015 01:32:24 UTC The history of Gamergate cannot be covered in 15 minutes.

AFTER: https://archive.is/o0sHd They threaten to quit. This is not the event that AirPlay has turned into. I cannot stand by and watch a bait-and-switch and say nothing.

"If you can't explain your movement in two minutes, much less 15, no journalist is going to cover you," I replied. "That might not be fair, it might not be right, but that's the way it is." As I said, all those that donated for my travel fund will receive refunds soon (as l've just started them this evening). Please keep watching this space as I post further emails from GoFundMe so that you can see the progress of that. Transparency is king. It's your money, and you're entitled to it.

Anti-GamerGate Won't Be Attending AirPlay

UPDATE MAY 15 Campbell didn't object, which was a good sign. But later on, he mused that GamerGate's critics would boycott AirPlay, and he feared for my online safety... One of the things that scares many is that they aren't going to show up. and I'll be honest with you, as far as we're concerned, many think you are going to end up next on the hit list for them, because that's what they do. I replied... I'm going to give the opposition as fair a shake as I gave GamerGate. You are basically saying about your opposition what people told me about YCNL That's so...strange." Oliver replied, gathering his thoughts before concluding, "No, it's not strange at all." https:llarchive.is/NimfL No, it's not. All set, not at all settled Michael Koretzky | July 13, 2015 https:llarchive.islkCsOZ So anti-GamerGate isn't coming to AirPlay? Sadly no - although not as sad as I originally thought. AGG (as it's called) has declined AirPlay, accusing SPJ of siding with GamerGate and supporting a hate movement. I contacted more than a dozen GamerGate critics, from well-known to unknown. Many didn't reply, some exchanged emails, and a couple spoke with me. Just like the GamerGate side, they ranged from charming and reasonable to irritable and irrational. Their absence doesn't change the nature of the morning debate, since it was always planned as described above. It does, however, alter the afternoon debate.

“Finally”, when the original game came out 7 years ago. And there have been games with female protagonists since Ms. Pac-Man in 1981. But wait, they said “more”, and by that they mean female protagonists have to be the majority. And they intend to enforce that.

That’s the truth about feminism. They don’t want equality, they want supremacy.
