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

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
The people who censored Gamergate on Wikipedia were working for Russia and Saudi Arabia by hyatt » Thu Jul 06, 2023 7:46 pm As they say, follow the money. There are Russian oligarchs with a lot of money: Meet the Russian Billionaires that Took on BP and Won. Herman Gref: CEO of Sberbank, Russian trade minister, and board member of the World Economic Forum American Billionaires Vanish From Russian Fund's Website (right when Gamergate happened) International Advisory Board: Leonard Blavatnik School of Government Edelman names Stan Polovets (of Alfa Group) as New Regional Chairman In Russia This last one leads to... The Edelman Dig Edelman senior account supervisor for social strategy Adam Rosenberg was part of the New Organizing Institute, a large number of Democratic Party campaign staff working for the AFL-CIO. Edelman was at this time taking orders from Russia (see Polovets above) and from Omar Qirem of Edelman Saudi Arabia. So when PR orders came in to Edelman from Russia and Saudi Arabia, Rosenberg could distribute these orders to the other campaign staffers that he had been working with for a decade. These included: 50 * Ari Rabin-Havt of the Democratic National Committee * Taryn Rosenkranz of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee * The Arab American Institute which is the vehicle that brought Rashida Tlalb into Congress * Amanda Michel of the Berkman Center for Internet and Society, and also The Guardian's Senior Editor for Strategy and Partnerships. As was observed, everything links back to The Guardian. * Blue State Digital which is sponsored by Anil Dash who is known for racketeering * Win Without War which signed a Letter of Solidarity Standing With NIAC which is a known front for the Iranian govenrment * Zach Exley of the Ruckus Society which advocates for violent "direct action" campaigns, and who was the Chief Community Officer for Wikipedia starting in 2010. * Eli Pariser, a co-founder of the Avaaz movement that is run by the UK Foreign & Commonwealth Office as a front for Hamas. He is also a member of the Tech Advisory Board of the Anti-Defamation League with Reddit co-founder Steve Huffman, Facebook VP Guy Rosen, Crowdstrike president and former FBI Executive Assistant Director Shawn Henry, and Craig Newmark of Craigslist who is a member of the US-Palestinian Partnership. Some of the Wikipedia staff were working for George Soros's Open Society Institute. The significance of this is who Soros was working for. * Soros was partnered with Igor Ivanov of the Russian Federation, the Russian-controlled African National Congress party (ANC), Wadah Khanfar the head of Qatari state media Al-Jazeera, and multiple other foreign powers. * The chairman emeritus of the Soros organization was partnered with Qatar. * Soros's senior advisors include Prince Turki the former head of Saudi Intelligence hyatt Sucks Posts: 35 Joined: Mon Feb 19, 2018 12:04 am Been thanked: 20 times
