![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")

![Regarding recent events moot ##Admin:: 09/18/14(Thu)15:05:19 No.264185884メa [Reply] The decision to remove "GamerGate" threads has been poorly communicated, and that's my fault. Said threads are being deleted primarily because they violate our blanket no personal information Iraids/calls to invasion" rule. Spamming the reports system and creating multiple topics were also a factor, especially given N is one of 4chan's fastest moving boards and has historically struggled with keeping topics limited to actual video games. Regarding a perceived lack of free speechicensorship many seem to misinterpret my advocating for anonymous communication and highlighting that it allows people to share things they otherwise wouldn't be comfortable with on other platforms as 'you can say and do anything on 4chan," which simply isn't the case. We've had rules and moderators since the site was founded '11 years ago, and I've only reinforced this statement over the years, a la: https:Warchive.moe iqthreadi58008O# 5801 135 To those who actualy want to use to discuss vidya and not a movement that has outgrown 4chan (a la Project Chanology) apologies for the inconvenience. aquapendulum Something nubs me the wrong way about this sticky post now that I think about it.

![randomfox @randomfox Follow That time RPS got ran out by Blizzard during an interview because they shouldn't shut up about sexism #GamerGate pic.twitter.com/qaGIJBAVL Reply t3 Retweet ★ Favorite More RPS: You have some interesting alternate outfits for heroes. Roller Derby Nova, especially, caught my eye. On its own, that's totally fine -just a silly, goofy thing.A one-off. But it got me thinking about how often MOBAs tend to hyper-sexualize female characters to a generally preposterous degree-that is to say, make it the norm, not a one-off at all-and StarCraft's own, um, interesting focus choices as of late. How are you planning to approach all of that in Heroes? Browder: Well, I mean, some of these characters, I would argue, are already hyper-sexualized in a sense. I mean, Kerrigan is wearing heels, right? We're not sending a message to anybody. We're just making characters who look cool. Our sensibilities are more comic book than anything else That's sort of where we're at. ButI'll take the feedback. I think it's very fair feedback. RPS: I have to add, though, that comics might not be the best point of reference for this sort of thing. I mean, it's a medium that's notorious-often in a not-good way-for sexing up female characters and putting them in some fairly gross situations. Browder: We're not running for President. We're not sending a message. No one should look to our game for that RPS: But it's not even about a message. The goal is to let people have fun in an environment where they can feel awesome without being weirded out or even objectified. This is a genre about empowerment. Why shouldn't everyone feel empowered? That's what it's about at the end of the day: letting everyone have a fair chance to feel awesome Browder. Uh-huh. Cool. Totally PR says we've run over, tells me I have to leave] RPS: Thank you for your time RETWEETS 34 FAVORITES 36](https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/list/000/827/079/975.png "Nathan Grayson and Blizzard Part 1: BTFO")
![[-] - 29 points 7 hours ago This situation has got me wondering. We know anyone who makes it on GG's radar is bound to be harassed soon afterwards. But could we be having a similar effect? And is there anything that could be done to prevent it? permalink seurce save save-RES report give gold reply hide child comments M] 33 points 7 hours ago Any kind of group that focuses on individuals like that will create a culture of harassment. If people feel like it's okay to harass people then there will be someone that does it. I think what's important is making sure in our community it's not okay to do that. This involves calling out, downvoting, and banning people who are harassing or suggest harassing (we already do this). Part of it also involves not creating "targets". Like it's okay to have posts about Milo or somebody but when we have a whole bunch of posts about an individual is generally not a good idea because while most of us will just point and laugh from the sidelines, some people will actually go and harass them. Finally, we need to make sure in our subreddit culture to discourage people from engaging with GamerGate. If you want to do that go to AgainstGamergate. For example, we get an automod autoremove when someone posts with negative aggregate karma. It's really annoying sometimes because we have people who like shitposting in KiA and of course get downvoted there and have negative karma overall so we have to keep manually approving their posts. The individual who was part of GGhazi who went after Kiwikku has been banned for a few days to cool off. Similarly, we will ban anyone who does the same. If the infraction is worse it will be a permaban. permalink source save save-RES parent report give gold reply](https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/list/000/890/086/a76.png "Meanwhile at Ghazi...")
