George @mortari 1h So my question is: if you genuinely don't harass and want to improve journo ethics, why associate with this tainted name #gamergate? 0 Roy NoFun Follow @mortari And you speak of taint hReply tRetweetFavouritee More George @mortari Socialist, anti-family politico who encourages women to leave their husbands, kill their children, practice witchcraft, destroy capitalism and become lesbians George @mortari 55m Ahh, and sexual harassment of me has started. Congrats on proving that #gamergate isnt about harassing women!! Roy @Roy NoFun @mortari And you speak of taint. w-pic.twitter.com/fR 1 W2JpaSi Brandon M @mortari There was nothing sexual about that. Insulting? Sure. Rude? Yeah. Sexual harassment? Stop marginalizing actual victims of sexual @SafeguardKilly 45m George @mortari 40m @SafeguardKilly I'm sure glad you're here to defend the rights of sexual harassment victims by deciding who's allowed to be a victim. Brandon M @SafeguardKilly @mortari Did I say you weren't a victim? I said it wasn't sexual harassment. They were criticizing your profile and all the "murder your Reply ta Retweet * Favourite More 12:59 pm-9 Sep 2014 Brandon M @SafeguardKilly -34m @mortari children" stuff. Which l assume is a joke but that's clearly what they meant by "taint George @mortari 14m @SafeguardKilly Taint" is a slang word for vagina. I'd say that's what they meant. Brandon M @SafeguardKilly 12m @mortan You called #GamerGate "tainted", they replied by criticizing your profile throwing the same insult back at you. If you still think View conversation Brandon M SafeguardKilly-12m @mortari it's about vagina I don't know what to tell you. Also, taint is NOT slang for vagina. It's for the area of skin between. Brandon M@SafeguardKilly-9m @mortari Damn internet cut out on me. The area of skin in between the genitals and anus, it's a gender neutral slang term as well. わ ★ な Follow mortari @SafeguardKilly But it is a term relating to genitals, yes? And therefore clearly sexual? So using it as an insult is sexual harassment, no? Brandon M @SafeguardKilly 4m mortari I'm trying to be polite because I recognize you probably have been through some horrible stuff but can you please just admit you Brandon M @Safeguardkilly 4m @mortari made an honest mistake? He was mimicking your usage of the word. If you still want to argue it's sexual then I wish you a good day George @mortari 24s @SafeguardKilly Why don't you admit you made a mistake?You know the connotations.If you want to ignore that it's sexual then good day to you Reply t Retweet ★ Favourte More

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
