+ Polygon & Kotaku ARE taking rating hits, they want you to be discouraged (self.KotakulnAction submitted 9 hours ago * by AllSailHatan For the love of God don't stop doing what you're doing. Kotaku and that 6 month ago bomb threat are clear evidence they're desperate for views & attention. That was them showing weakness, they'd do anything to cover it up. 1 They've already milked everything they can, with more accurate GamerGate coverage they won't be winning views with click bait BS in the coming months, GG isn't acting up anymore and there wont be any 'shock news from our side to capitalize on. . 2 Look at Kotaku's steam curator followers. Total Biscuit has 162k followers. Kotaku has 19k. The numbers are clear, Kotaku fans aren't even really gamers. 3 They're most likely purposely cutting costs firing people etc just so they can afford to buy views in order to discourage you. It's worth it for them to buy views just so you think you're having no effect, but they can't sustain that for long 4 They're using other clickbait BS to promote themselves, you click a square image link with a 'shock' header you don't even know goes to Kotaku or Poly, I've definitely seen it but idk where- I don't really look at shitpostbait sites often. 5 Pro GG people have been trolling the site looking for more inconsistencies. At this point, there's much less need to view pages & there's many more pages archived. We were accidentally boosting ratings, shouldn't happen anymore 치ng disappointed with the amount of people who used direct links today Honestly, we need to remind people to USE ARCHIVE I'm very really bad, that's thousands of views. We need people to keep pushing ad sites and denying views. Seriously, you want to help? Write some e-mails, make our voice louder. It might help if someone could do a weekly infographic on who's shown themselves as allies with GG. Kotaku doesn't have infinite money, they're definitely falling. Polygon might be funded and upheld by a network we don't really know, but they'll probably be harder to rating damage than Kotaku. PS I know Gawker and Vox, but who knows with this industry!? Even if we don't see results right away, IT'S WORKING. The other sites are clearly damaged, even if the ratings continue to go up know that we're making their partners pay out of pocket for each view Keep e-mailing, keep pushing, keep archiving, keep denying ads and views, and keep viewing and ad clicking sites promoting GG, they need the funding 64 comments share

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
