![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")

Cheers. Thanks to you, we now know exactly what's it's like to be the wolves. You've slandered us to extremes, called us some disgusting s---, and yet here we are. We aren't even in our final form yet, and you're already pissing yourselves, because you're losing your life support left and right. Well, shouldn't have made the wolf angry, huh? And to top it off, Todd, you're using a friend that tragically lost his life to promote your agenda? Well, I would say that that's pretty low even for me, but honestly, Im not surprised by yr kind anymore. You and people like you are as poisonous as your kind likes to think we are. To the people who fear that thanks to the incomprehensible b------- the media is spewing at us, we'll never truly win: Stop worrying, and find the killer in you. Nothing ever gets changed overnight, and the leaking of the Game Journo Pro list certainly didn't arrive over night. After all, just keep emailing those partners. If they become aware of the gravity of the situation for even a second, they will want none of it. And whenever the Literally Who's open their mouth, just remember to laugh it off, and know that we ALL have the true story. And just remember, you've got Georgie, Jennie and Jemma believing you, every step of the way And to the SJWs, let me try and describe to you all just how dangerous you really are: Imagine a counter terrorism group suddenly going rogue for seemingly no reason. No random reason, they just flat out refuse to listen to the mission objective, and they start killing people. Eventually, when the government finds out about it, you run across the claim that "7 just want a better world for everyone.", even after theyve said to you that youve gone against the objective too many times Yeah, call me a f--, sage the thread, so f------ what? just want you to know that you're doing all the right things. Don't ever give two s---- about what the other side is saying Just do your thing, because l cannot emphasize enough that if this fails, then forget trying to solve corruption anywhere else, so don't let this up at all. After all, truth is treason in the empire of lies Godspeed you all gents, Im genuinely proud to be apart of this community. And cheers to the SJWs... For bringing out the wolf in all of us.](https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/list/000/850/086/756.png "756.png")
