SpaceMidget75 Tech Development Manager, Minerva Computer Services 2 hours ago This is my final comment on the whole thing and I appreciate it's not going to go down too well but... You don't need a petition with a statement like that because 99% of all people would agree with it. You keep making out that THIS is the issue when the real problem has been discussed time and again, in detail, on various blogs and vlogs - nepotism, censorship and the potentially risky practice of given some people more exposure/sales/money/PR because they got threatened by a f------ arsehole somewhere. You want to make it an issue of inclusiveness to deflect attention away from any legitimate wrong doing Honestly, not only has the harassment/feminist angle been blown SO out of proportion in this whole thing but it can be shown that harassment and prejudice is actually coming from both sides and by continuing to suggest it's just the gamers (even a minority of them) is PISSING people off Despicable comments and generalisations have been made by both sides INCLUDING THE PEOPLE YOU'VE JUST LINKED TO. People want to be able say that they think a game is s---, or why they don't like someone, that people in relationships should be aware of conflicts or interest or even that they think sexism in games is a non-issue (I don't) without the WHOLE argument being boiled down to sexism and some harassment. Do some investigative journalism and address issues such as: DMCAs, takedowns and mass deletions of discussion. The 11 end of gamers" articles that all appeared within 48 hours of each other from separate sites (?) The number of serious threats made, what they were and where they came from. * The real TFYC story the twitter feeds, the audio recordings. *The Wizardchan abuse from apparently such nice social liberals because all this harassment is apparently one sided Phil Fish for losing his s--- because it's funny and may lighten the mood Supposed professionals calling gamers losers, shitstains, worse than ISIS and the abuse of people like Totalbiscuit, Stephen Williams, Jon Tron for having MY view instead of YOUR view * And ultimately the crux of all this the relationships (Patreon funding, friendships, job positions, living arrangements, advisory roles and YES, romantic too) between journalists, indies, PR companies, IGF and it's finalists. It might, shock horror, actually take 2 or 3 days work. ...or you and some commenters here could just accuse us of being sexist and let the whole thing go on for longer than it needs to.

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. …………………………....…..……….….....

[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
