![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")

For example, better graph out who advertises for what website, and the article(s) in question that you are emailing them about. B) Actually follow through with ODN. Send out those emails 2 Tweet, blog, post, phone ca advertisers that's a big one)-a about #Game Gate and #notyourshield Again, this S Simple, but very. VERY mportant. Go through every avenue you can and speak the truth. Don't Just sit here and monitor the thread 3) Support non-shill feminism. This is arguably the most important step of all. The only ammo they have against us is that we are anti-feminist, which is a bold faced lie. They are hiding behind a good cause to deflect away from their journalistic corruption. So, make videos, post on every site you can, and do all in your power to talk about REAL issues relating to feminism in video games. NOT the masturbatory drivel of Anita and the like. For example What is one of your favorite female Video Game characters? And why? Are there any missteps there you would hope to be rectified in the future? Is there anything about this character in particular that gets something right that other characters should learn? Is there a character that you feel was interesting but got less screen time than you would have liked? What are the TRULY bad examples of female characters (I.E. not just complaining for the sake of complaining about every single thing like FemFrequency)? Discuss real life female devs AND THEIR GAMES (important!), support proper blogs and kickstarters (if you can), and explore and share all other avenues 4) MOST IMPORTANTLY, remember (3) is a backbeat to the issue on journalism. It is ENDLESSLY important, but keep aware of the current main point here.
