#gamergate Over the last month we have seen a protracted revolt within the gaming community due to the actions of an number of journalists who have behaved very poorly. Ultimately, we have lost trust with these writers, as we believe they represent outside interests that are not agreeable with the gaming community as a whole while misrepresenting many gamers In the interests of rebuilding the gaming community as a whole, once the appropriate parties have been held responsible for this conflict, we declare these the goals of #gamergate. The following is a list of general goals and interests and may or may not represent every individual of the #gamergate movement. Everybody is free to express his criticism, disagreement or his own personal views concerning this list. The following points are suggestions in order push the #gamergate movement in a positive direction: 1. We expect to be treated with respect by gaming websites. Name-calling and broadstroaking are not acceptable. You are professionals your name is part of your job, actions on social media should be held accountable, attacks and slander taint your professional image and that of the community you work for. 2. All prior personal involvement or relationships with review subjects should be noted and disclaimed, personal relationships and living arrangements, financial involvements like patreon/kickstarter should be noted when reviewing material. Possible conflicts of interest should be delegated to a neutral journalist 3. Collusion and forceful influence on the journalistic output of other media outlets will not be tolerated. Mailing-lists are not to be used as a tool to suppress the flow of relevant information. 4. Censorship is not acceptable. We expect to be able to discuss our grievances within the gaming community openly, so long as the conversation is polite, civil and respectful 5. News articles concerning people should have more than one source, articles about the personal lives of those in the industry need to be covered by more than one party with at least two sources or people interviewed and must represent both sides of the conflict 6. Personal opinions of political or ideological nature should not sway the coverage of videogames or what videogames are chosen for coverage. Reviews should strive for objectivity, no longer write reviews that lack nuance or use heavy handed wording to propagate a personal political agenda at the sacrifice of context, gameplay, mechanics or facts about a game. If you have personal views on a subject make an editorial section 7. Blacklisting of certain parties is not acceptable. We affirm that all stories should be treated equally, and that we will engage in business with your competitors if we discover that a story has not been appropriately covered 8. We stand against harassment, but openly welcome valid concerns, criticism and diversity of opinion. Furthermore we refuse to be defined by our gender, ethnicity or color. As gamers, our love for our hobby is the one common denominator.

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
