![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")

![Reply to this post athelind (No Subject ) Posted: 13 hours ago I have only the vaguest idea what's going on with Gamnergate. This is odd, because a good chunk of my Tumblr and Twitter feeds center around feminist concerns in popular culture but primarily in comics. Reply to this post RelaxingDragon1 (No Subject ) Posted: 11 hours ago I too have only vague notions of the whole thing, which I think might be because I'm not on Tumblr or Twitter at all. As best I can tell it has to do with gamers being awful, awful people, which at least is a concept I can readily understand. Reply to this post karass No Subject) Posted: 6 hours ago You have the essence of it. Its a thing that is still continually unfolding, so its hard to find anyone summing it up accurately in a sort of timeline format. Reply to this post AConcerned Rifleman [ Hide Comment] (No Subject) Posted: less than a second ago Actually, KYM has been documenting the whole thing since it's conception. http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/events/gamergate TL:DR: "Journalist" are being outed as corrupt with a massive trail evidence backing it, said journalists and "SJW"s are trying to make it about sexism and committing mass professional suicide in order to derail it, and the "sJW" crowd is trying to push their own agenda by using their contacts to silence anyone who portrays them in a negative light. Also/v/ made Vivian as part of a charity gaming pitch for women, not to be a mouthpiece of any sorts. I suggest you take a good look at this before it's gone, because I'm probably next on the chopping list... Reply to this post barman87 No Subject ) Posted: an hour ago Yeah. I wonder why they are so fixated on comics and games, blaming it on sexism. Which in reality is more to do with society and upbringing I just find it idiotic that people blame society's ills in cultural products as someone once said.

Piemonke M] via /r/Games/ sent 1 minute ago No, that was removed for the same reason but a different level. /r/Games shadowban vs. global reddit shadowban And, quite frankly, that should speak for itself about the type of people involved in posting this news. Are they all here for a discussion on the topic or to promote some weird social movement nobody here cares about? tl;dr, mods claim they re not suppressing IGF racketeering story Say they're not touching submissions, things are being removed for vote manip or people posting are shadowbanned. Story resubmitted with effort to avoid those thin Immediately removed Sure, it was the admins and not you, but those admins are part of your mod team too Nope. Not all admins do the same job otherwise there wouldn't be so many of them. The admins who are shadowbanning those people are not the ones we have any contact with, letalone Deimorz So we're in the dark a lot as much as anyone else But surely by this point it's pretty clear why. You go out of your way to suppress criticism of you, your ban process is as opaque as it gets, people who criticize you get shadowba everything you can to suppress stories you don't like ed, and you to be doing Not really. You keep making false assumptions instead of applying Occam's Razor. I don't know what ForestL was talking about there and we've told him not to remove things he doesn't like remove things for those reasons, ever. In this case, everyone tr ny times now. We, in general, do not to submit the sto is shadowba ed ort full gs o Piemonkey sent just now some weird social movement nobody here cares about? Really. Nobody cares about it. That's why you've had to work nonstop to suppress it? Becau ody cares /r/games mods lie again we've told him not to remove things he doesn't like many times now So you're admitting he does remove things he doesn't like? Consistently enough that you have to tell him not to "many times?" Why is he still a part of your mod team? You're just digging yourself deeper here In this case, everyone trying to submit the story is shadowbanned or are vote manipulating How can you say this when you don't even have access to the information that would tell you that vote manipulation is happening? You're full of s---. But okay, fine. My comments in the forestL thread are showing up. I'm not shadowbanned yet. I'll post the story and we'll see if it lasts. How about that? permalink source reply](https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/newsfeed/000/826/310/e6e.jpg "More Reddit Suppression")
