![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")

JOIN US IN ENDING THE CLIMATE OF FEAR Death threats, bomb threats, threats of sexual violence... Over the past two months several people embroiled in the #Gamergate debate have been subjected to threats of physical and sexual violence. The most well-known of these incidents involved threats against pop culture critic Anita Sarkeesian, and indie game developers, Zoe Quinn and Briana Wu Threats of any kind are a criminal act and must be taken seriously. t is time something be done. That is why we, the supporters of #Gamergate, are asking you to join us in contacting the FBI to demand an official investigation be opened and the offenders be brought to justice WHY WOULD GAMERGATE SUPPORT AN INVESTIGATION? #Gamergate does not endorse or condoned threats or violence of any kind. Our cause has always been ethics in journalism. Not surprisingly the very same press we are criticizing have chosen to misrepresent us. We do not makes threats. We do not support sexual violence. Nor does #Gamergate have affiliations with white supremacists, Syrian Intelligence, or Islamic jihadists as some claim Once again, the press has gotten it all wrong Anyone who engages in criminal behavior under the #Gamergate hashtag is not welcome. Their actions have not only harmed the likes Anita Sarkeesian and Zoe Quinn, but gaming as a whole. Anyone who has made such threats needs to be identified and prosecuted to the full extent of the law So join with us request Yes, I want the FBl to open an investigation into threats made against Zoe Quinn, Anita Sarkeesian, & Briana Wu Report If you have any information that could lead to an arrest, click here https://endthethreats.wordpres 71 posts and 12 image replies omitted.
