![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")

Zoe Cuinn and others are found connected to the Siverstring Media PR group Siiverstring has a connection to DiGRA AKA the Digital Games Research Association. DiSRA is receiving funding from DARPA for the purpose of games simulating how to sociaily engineer people. Gamergate happens and there's censorship verywhere. Censorship to a degree you wouldn't expect for something like this. When gamespot was found to be in bed with the makers of Kain & Lynch, it was taked about everywhere with no repercussions. Why would these events, who largely ony affect the indie scene, receve such harsh censorshp? Fast forward a few weeks and there was a very concerted effort to discredit gamers" On the very same day, articles across a multitude of webstes carne out al saying the same ting. 'pamers are dead, t was very obviously a PR stunt orchestrated by someone meaning to destroy our credibilty by lumping us all in with the idiots who post hateful things. This, by and large, is ineffectual, we stll pursued the issue ITS ALL CGRE NOW oa/18/14(Thu)1953 13 No 264162679 A couple days after the articles were released, so began the fappening. 4chan was the ste the leakers used to post all the nudes. R could clearly be traced right back to us and many articles come out saying we're the "sewer of the internet. Again, we are discredited, we are monsters The big question remans, who has access to these photos and how d they get them? What orgaization would have access to so much information? Edward Snowden has taked about how people working with him for the NSA used to pass around pictures they found of beautiful women. There isn't a database on earth larger than the one the NSA has been using to monitor civilians. They have easy access to al of this data, explaining away how pictures not put onto apples would have been in iCloud Apple themseves have stated that they did not find any breaches in their service -s--- that is anly making them stronger and put more attention on the problem Anonymous 0e0214(Tue)20 31 20 No 261 318337 lets just walt this out, inl go away Oh s--- they're stil at it and gaining power!
