![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")

![Relatively new « Reply #729 on: September 18, 2014, 11:00 PM » So...I'm just throw this out there I'll admit that I've haven't the time/energy/inclination to do any deep research into this whole Quinn/Gamergate mess (which also means I'm staying out of the argument as well) but I've read enough to know I simply don't care either way But is anyone else a little disappointed that Cracked have gotten involved in this whole thing in the first place? Did they really have to give Zoe (another) platform to fuel this shitstorm? I'm not saying she shouldn't be speaking out in self-defense, she's more than entitled to, just as I'm entitled to shrug my shoulders and go download some p--- instead of getting emotionally invested in this (which ALOT of people are doing for reasons I can't comprehend) If life gives you lemons...you should It's just click bait, right? We're adults here, we can be honest. 1.1 million views and 11,000 comments in 3 days (considering probably make most articles are lucky to break 500,000 views and 1k comments over the space of 4+ years) is an insane amount of traffic some life changes... and I can't help but feel that whole thing is a blatant and deliberate hunt for attention. And yeah, I know that sites like this rely on ads to bring in money, and that's why we put up with the pop-up ads, and the border ads, and the whole splitting- a-5-point-article-into-5-page-article-even-though-the-entire-article-fits-easily-into-2-pages-thing, so l'll put up with that that stuff, because I like Cracked. Hell, maybe even love it. (Or maybe l just love Soren, I don't know, it's complicated, alright? DON'T YOU JUDGE ME DAMMIT!) My point is, I'm disappointed in you Cracked. I come here to learn about insane comic book stuff, drunken presidents and learn about all the hörrible things trying to kill me on my way to work (I live in Australia, where at one point ignorance used to be bliss..not anymore), not stand back and watch you quys fuel another pointless flame war. And yeah, I read the intro to her article written by (I assume, forgive me if I'm wrong) David, all that told me is that even he thought it was a waste of time discussing it, which simply baffles me even more as to why he gave the go ahead You could have just ignored it and stuck to what you guys are normally do instead of giving more attention to something that simply doesn't deserve it. So there. That's my 2 cents. I'm not going to say" I'm leaving forever, you guys suck, you used to be cool" stuff, because that's not true, I'll be here tomorrow, quietly hoping for another Bucholz self help article, but still.. -1 respect point (You could always bring Seanbaby back full time and earn +10 respect points... just saying...)

![Gamergate From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia This article is about a type of ant. For other uses, see Gamergate (disambiguation). A gamergate ( gæmar gert) is a mated worker ant that is able to reproduce sexually, ie., lay fertilized eggs that will develop as females. Gamergates are restricted to taxa where the workers have a functional sperm reservoir (spermatheca). In various species, gamergates reproduce in addition to winged queens (usually upon the death of the original foundress), while in other species the queen caste has been completely replaced by gamergates. In gamergate species, all workers in a colony have similar reproductive potentials, but as a result of physical interactions, a dominance hierarchy is formed and only one or a few top-ranking workers can mate (usually with foreign males) and produce eggs. Subsequently however, aggression is no longer needed as gamergates secrete chemical signals that inform the other workers of their reproductive status in the colony Depending on the species, there can be one gamergate per colony (monogyny) or several gamergates (polygyny). Most gamergate species have colonies with a few hundred or fewer workers.
