1. So I've noticed a lot of people asking here and various other places what to do next. Some feel unsure of what steps to take exactly in regards to the whole gamergate thing or if what they've been doing is even effective in the first place. Some are worried it's going to implode like OwS did while others feel like simply walking away entirely is the best strategy. Add to this the bombardment of nonstop biased articles, a smug attitude of those on the other side, and nonstop censorship on major sites for discussion and it can all feel overwhelming 3. I get it. Everything about the last four weeks is confusing and that confusion can make what has been accomplished seem insignificant. You've got many voices all adding their own ideas, discussing their own fears, and wanting their own outcomes combining together to make one hell of a garbled chorus. So people feel at a loss at times. It's hard to hear the harmony amongst the noise 4 5. But that's part of the bargain you see. When you have a group with no defined leadership these are the issues that arise. It's just a part of the way things are. However it does have its perks. Those leaders who would give you direction, who would help to point the way come at a cost. Maybe they become arrogant, maybe they f--- up and the press of that failure kills everything in one fell woop, maybe they sell you out, or maybe they simply use you for their personal benefit. There is a certain security without them 6 7. Myself, I put out a few videos. I found the subject interesting and I found the attitudes and relationships of those in the gaming press and indie scene to be unacceptable. Aside from that I use social media (A thing I f------ hate with a passion) to try and spread around the actions of others. Maybe that's not enough, maybe it is; who knows 8 9 However one other thing I do is pay attention, I lurk various sites, read peoples opinions and pick up on the ideas they have that seem to be worthwhile. And there are many. But for whatever reason they seem to get lost amidst the noise and people overlook them So I've jotted these down over the last week and would like to put them out there for the people that are interested. You know another perk of a group made up of so many people from every walk of life is that many of them have various talents that are useful in a situation like this Being able to couple together those good ideas with the individuals possessing such unique talents can yield amazing results 10 11. So I figure what I'1l do is host a stream tomorrow and talk about what I've seen and what I think might be effective in helping to gain more ground. My voice will be s---, I'm sick (have been for days), but I do believe these ideas that have been floating around out there have merit. If you're interested in hearing them the stream will be tomorrow 9/17/2014 at 6pm central standard time 12 13. It seems like we've gotten nonstop push-back. Sites shutting down conversation, hit pieces in the press, shilling left and right. Why do you suppose that is? If a movement were a joke they'd be used as a punchline. What we've seen these past four weeks isn't humor, it's fear. These people are afraid of us and they should be. They know the longer this goes on the more information about their behaviors and attitudes come to light. You are, we all are, engaged in a massive and prolonged tug of war If you let go of that rope now you'1l never get your hands on it again.

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
