Please add your notes from the fishbowl discussion below! 8 9.Adrienne and Shira intro the fishbowl format, then first fish(es?) talk 10 11. Mia: gender and games has always been an issue 12.-I thought we were taking group notes? 46. Zoya: There can be hostility toward jargon, but writing in an inviting way can draw people inn. There is a lot of interest in academic work, but it is important to be transparent and critically examine what specific terms mean We're lucky in game studies that so many resources are freely available online. A curious mind can step in 47 48. Mia: we need to rethink grad education and the dissertation. A diss doesn't teach you how to talk to people. Is it the best way of showing that you've mastered research? 49 50. Adrienne: How has feminist game studies influenced developers and games? Where's the impact outside of academia? 51 DEIRDRA "SQUINKY" KIAI Deirdra (Squinky) influences my work in a personal/experiential kind of way Some of the most interesting work being done in games is by people who aren't of an academic background and who are speaking from a personal experience to explore systems. Twine is a fascinating way to do this. es from a people who makes stuff field and newer to the academic side of things. Feminist game studies 53 54. Zoya: There was a moment in the keynote that sounded like zinester work wasn't proceduralist. Could be overdetermined by previous knowledge, but queer feminist work is often the most proceduralist because it's focused on systems 56. Deirdra: Queer feminist work can make the system more visible to people because it is critiquing the system and focuses on how the system works.

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
