![| John Walker of Rock Paper Shotgun, on Oct 12 2014: "I have received abundant and appalling abuse from GG, that has been at times upsetting, infuriating, and frightening. I've received thousands of tweets that have been insulting, offensive, outrageously inaccurate, spiteful, cruel, or disturbing. Not one or two. Thousands. I've had boring, tiresome insults thrown at me in droves, and specific, distressing descriptions of how people would like me to be killed. [..] And I have repeatedly been informed of the ways in which I should commit suicide. [...] No matter how at fault one might believe me to be, GamerGate has been, toward me, horrendous." from: http://botherer.org/2014/10/12/a-thing-about-gamergate/ archive: https://archive.todav/iai4m Wow.

![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. …………………………....…..……….…..... Attack type Victims Motive View source Inquiry XA 28 languages ✓ Perpetrators Internet trolls, particularly from 4chan, Internet Relay Chat, and 8chan View history Tools ✓ Gamergate August 2014 - 2015 Women in the video game industry See all media Online harassment campaign Zoë Quinn, Anita Sarkeesian, Brianna Wu, and others Gamergaters created conspiracy theories falsely accusing Quinn of an unethical relationship with video game journalist Nathan Grayson.[23][24][25] More broadly, they alleged unethical collusion between the press and feminists, progressives, and social critics.[17][26] [27] These claims were widely dismissed as trivial, conspiracy theories, baseless, or unrelated to actual issues of ethics in gaming and journalism.[28] [29][30] Gamergate supporters frequently denied that the harassment took place, falsely claiming it to be manufactured by the victims.[31][32] Misogyny anti-feminism anti- progressivism FBI investigation Gamergate has been described as a culture war over cultural diversification, artistic recognition, feminism in video games, social criticism in video games, and the social identity of gamers.[28][33] [34] [35] Many supporters of Gamergate opposed the increasing influence of feminism and so-called "social justice warriors" on video game culture. [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")

"Lately I've been focused a lot on making games that bring people together," says Corbetta. He was one of the earliest and most enthusiastic regular visitors to New York City's Babycastles events, which invite the wider community to play exhibitions of indie games as part of accessible, friendly local art and music parties. He says participating in that collective has been a major influence "When I was shifting from being a game designer at a company [Powerhead Games] to programming my own games, I was hanging out at Babycastles a lot," he recalls, reflecting on times when he could share and play prototypes with other indies on laptops over beers, while locals got an early look at Messhof's Nidhogg beneath the thrum and press of music and dancing upstairs. "By default, I started making games that were aimed at the public space." He loved the excitement and energy of the Babycastles scene, and noticed one interesting inequity: "There are always more people than controllers," he says, "So you start thinking of ways to entertain the people who are not holding controllers." Talks about his influence from that scene she's known to have hung out with him at and its influence on him 15 BABYCASTLES 웝 BAD BITCHES CURATED BY LEIGH ALEXANDER /// Public .

![ik (hide: 1413151870674.ipg, 1212 1:1.Earth ipg) Views from other cultures The Leader of Gamergate 10/12/14 (Sun) 19:11:10 ID: d649a6 No.97246 [Watch Thread] GG is really focused and presented from the views of USA's culture. Makes sense since this whole issue is deeply rooted to the USA The cause and the start of the GG movement. Nothing wrong with that. Actually I thank you for it. But I would like to hear other views from other countries also Social issues, opinions, views, and the culture are differ greatly from culture to culture. I personally think that having opinions from different countries presented, will allow us to network more, and would enrich the subject a lot. It is important for us all to remember. We are not all from USA. Something that I sadly have to say as a criticism to both sides, is often forgotten. This is an issue touches everyone who plays games. I am personally extremely interested to hear other views Being Finnish I see both sides from slightly different light. Specially the anti-GG side, which I can't even start to comprehend. Since l simply haven't had the "privilege" to live in the environment that feeds that mentality, and not having the same type of social issues (We have our own tho)](https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/newsfeed/000/846/676/ed3.png "GG begins to ask about the issue in other countrys")
