since day one." Soo00, you mean that day an angry, bitter dude on the internet posted totally false accusations that his ex-girlfriend traded sex for favorable game reviews? And then the internet sent her a constant barrage of death and r--- threats, hacked her online accounts, and stole and disseminated nude pictures of her? Because that's a form of harassment you'd probably see if you were there " day one 58 mins Like y the time Gamergate was proposed as an idea it wasn't about e. Day one of the use of the hashtagfterm 'Gamergate' was in response to the discovery of further corruption in the industry that went far beyond ZQ http:/www.realclearpolitics.com..the_gender_games_sex. The Gender Games: Sex, Lies, and Videogames | RealClearPolitics A controversy over videogames may seem an unlikely REALCLEARPOLITICS.COM 8 mins Like Remove Preview Excellent mansplaining! You show that chick that she's not allowed to have opinions without your permission Point of order: The boyfriend did not accuse her of trading sex for favorable reviews, He accused her of being abusive and of cheating. Others noticed that one of her partners was a gaming journalist who had spoken highly of her in several articles, and wondered if there might have been a quid-pro-quo There was no quid-pro-quo, just garden-variety publicizing of your friends in your column. Happens all the time, right?) You should be careful with the term "false accusations." You'll get mistaken for an MRA Second point of order: The term GamerGate was not attached to the controversies until 17 days after the zoe post went up, at which point the major issues had already moved on to journalistic ethics. Frex: Kotaku had banned their writers from donating to developer Patreons. At the time, the major issue was censorship on reddit and 4chan. Of course, that was mere moments before the 14 articles of the "gamers are dead" variety. Within 24 hours of the coining of GamerGate) What better way to get people to stop talking about things than to slander the entire group? All this was long before the conservative opportunists decided to pile on, figuring they could convince games to vote republican in November if they back them up now. Nor the anti+feminist agitators trying to convince the GGers that they should forget games journalism and fight feminism directly. Those things are real make no mistake. But most GamerGate supporters are sincere ldr Do your f------ research, dont just repeat s--- you read on the outrage of-the-minute club

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
