The reason behind Gamergate, and any other organised hate arime against women involving gaming is not caused by games or gaming culture. Those cultural injuries lies much deeper and is much, much harder to cure. If you remove your daughter from this line of work, you have only changed one result of these injuries for another. No seat of power, nothing involving the freedom for women is going to met with acceptance. Freedom, has and is by these groups of people, considered a male privilege. The reason these attacks on women happen is not simply because women take jobs that are male dominated. It's because doing so, the control men have over women is weakened. And it is through the loss of that power, the loss of that control over other people that makes them react this way. It is not a coincidence that sexism and racism is found in the same kind of person. TERROR There is no way to appease these people. They hunt women down. They are a hate group and like one they don't need a reason to hate women they make thein own. Your daughter wont be a sweet little girl forever. She is going to have to face some form of this eventually. With the increasing usage of the Internet that is going to be sooner than later. I fear that the only thing you would end up doing is removing your daughter from something she loves doing to protect from her from somet hing you can't protect her from. Read more: http://www.cracked.com/forums/topic'181822/zoe-quinn-a rticle-discussion/340#ixzz3DXxlzbv4 u know what, I don't disagree with you here. There are sexist assholes, who can't stand the thought of women getting involved in anything professionally. What nize that, if a man were caught up in the same scandal Zoe has been in, people would probably not care, and certainly not bother looking into that guy's around whining that women belong in the kitchen, so to speak. The majority of gamers don't care about women getting involved; the majority of gamers are not this me uncomfortable is when people start screaming that this level of extremist hate is widespread. I agree about the undercurrent of sexism that exists, andI lationships or notice such a sketchy relationship. But we're now dealing with the accusation that the entire gaming community is built of prepubescent boys who sit ight virgin stereotype we're used to waving around. why I even brought this up. I'm not going to say that the internet isn't filled with assholes with awful opinions, but I will say that we need to recognize that those ple fill every demographic Gamers as a group are not villains here. Gamers did not harass Quinn; assholes harassed Quinn. Many gamers were the ones who tched it happen and said "whoa, this isn't the movement I joined up for". And when articles are published, people on tumblr are screaming, news reports are and all are amers have become this f bunch of sexist, racist, losers", I'm worried. Lets just keep a level head, please No, sorry. The misogyny is endemic to the gaming community the "f--- this c---" comments were in the overwhelming majority on 4chan and Reddit both, and the response to Anita Sarkeesian is outright sickening. This is NOT a few bad apples your reply is that not 100% of the world's gamers hate women, obviously I agree-I've been playing games since 1980 But that's a completely nonsense defense-nobody in the entire world is claiming 100% of gamers are misogynists because you know, Zoe Quinn herself is a gamer. But I absolutely am saying that gaming culture has become so misogynist that it's ucking disgusting to listen to them talk to each other. S---, go to i right now the threads discussing women are discussing which video game or anime girls are the most fuckable. Females are either submissive, two-dimensional, big-boobed "waifu or they're "c----." Of course women also get bashed when criticizing, say, the UFC or comic books or anything else that's male-dominated There are plenty of other examples, gaming isn't the only male-centric medium that pukes misogynist bile on any woman who offers even the most gentlė criticism. But it's definitely one of the worst, as we've seen So, consider this acknowledgement that #NotAI|Gamers are misogynists, no one has ever claimed that, you're refuting straw But there is absolutely something broken about gamer culture in general. The fact that it took literally f------ nothing to make these people explode on a woman they'd never even heard of before says it all. Well, that and the fact that they were cheered on by the overwhelming majority of the online communities they organized their raids on. Go to or Reddit right now and post a pro-Zoe message. See what happens to you. Logged that take I am Cracked Executive Editor David Wong, I just wrote a b Facebook. David Wong Administrator e: Zoe Quinn Article Discussion Reply #353 on: September 16, 2014, 11:08 PM は: quote Karma: 4250 And just to try to bridge some of the divide here think Christina absolutely nailed it earlier when she said the majority of the GamerGate people had no idea what they were supporting until today. I think they thought it was some vague protest against whatever they didn't like about video games, and they just kind of jumped on board without looking too far into it. Offline I don't think they had any ugly intentions of their own, but just seem kind of incredulous that this thing could have its roots in a bunch of angry teen males, right-wingers and MRA youtubers doing something vile. I think they'll kind of look around and see who their allies are and will just silently back away. They can't admit it openly, they would take too much s--- for it, but they can sort of just let it drop TERROR It's easy to get sucked into things, and I can't judge people for it. But they deserve every bit of the mockery, they were (maybe inadvertently) supporting something truly horrible

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
