[S] 101 points an hour ago @ It's pathetic. But censorship by companies controlling privatized political space is now almost a norm. Facebook is implementing its own "laws" for social behavior and politics. Even Twitter has now folded; censoring for example, leaks about the New Zealand prime minister just this weak and some time ago banning Anonymous Sweden after a request from that country. High volume publication-control of publication by powerful organisations = censorship, all the time. We have to fight to create new networks of freedom. The old and powerful always become corrupt. permalink source save save-RES parent report give gold reply - doodep 17 points 11 minutes ago I thought I should let you know that the person you just replied to in regards to GamerGate has been shadowbanned.

![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")
![#GamerGate explained in five minutes or your money back #GamerGate is a call for transparency and ethics reform in game industry media. What kind of ethics abuses occurred? The Fine Young Capitalists (TFYC) launched a web fundraiser to help women break into the gaming industry. A game developer (dev) used their influence to get it shut down THE FINE YOUNG Days later, the same dev created their own ther der he pead promote thle new aimp frgondut CAPITALISTS the dev helped promote this new campaign, but no media talked about what happened to TFYC http://apgnation.com/archives/2014/09/09/6977/truth-gaming-interview-fine-young-capitalists http://bit.ly/ZgnCEt Several judges at video game award panels IndieCade and Independent Games Festival (IGF) were shown to have conflicts-of-interest with the winners Two judges were sexual partners of an IndieCade winner. Seven judges were investors in an IGF winner (and stood to profit from the press/sales generated by winning). http://gamesnosh.com/fez-investors-outed-judges-2011-igf-award http://bit.ly/1uBZPJN Gamers turned to online forums to discuss these and similar revelations. Mass-deletion of topics and comments related to certain VIP personalities was seen on major gaming sites and even larger community forums such as reddit, 4chan, and NeoGAF [deleted 1-1 [deleted:3 minutes ago [deleted) I- fdeleted] 8 minubes [deleted] 【-】 [deleted] 1 hour ago deleted 1-1: deleted. hour ago Gamers - angry at being silenced - investigated further and demanded answers. http://knowyourmeme.com/photos/813699-quinnspiracy http://bit.ly/1AMq80Z Gaming sites replied with articles declaring the death of gamers, calling them misogynists... since some of the people under scrutiny for ethics abuses happened to be female Gamers' are over. These fourteen "anti-gamer" articles appeared on 28 Aug 2014 and shared similar talking- points: a coordinated effort to divert attention away from ethics abuses to false misogyny http://pastebin.com/dWzF8Eqd The community of gamers rallied under the Twitter hashtag #GamerGate to spread news, anti-gamer site boycott lists, more evidence of ethics breaches, and victories won. #GamerGate was accused of being straight white misogynist men. #NotYourShield was born to showcase the group's diversity and tell detractors that hiding behind empty claims of sexism, racism, etc. doesn't make them right. https://twitter.com/search for #GamerGate and #NotYourShield Game devs showed support to #GamerGate for challenging the media and standing up to their baseless "misogyny" smear campaign. They too have been bullied by these "Social Justice Warriors" (SJWs) - people who want to impose their own self-righteous morality on others and smear/blacklist anyone who resists http://techraptor.net/2014/09/12/interview-daniel-vavra http://bit.ly/1DØBfr1 Help us improve journalism, ensure judgi and keep political agendas out of our games and media support #GamerGate Want more current info?
