![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")

For the 2014 video game culture controversy, see Gamergate controversy. A gamergate is a reproductively viable female worker ant that is able to reproduce with mature males when the colony is lacking a queen. Most commonly occurring within the primitive species of the poneromorph subfamilies, gamergate females differ from their fellow workers by a combination of elevated fecundity and aggression-related mutilation of competitors' secondary sexual characteristics. Subsequent to their first mating event, however, aggression is no longer needed as females secrete chemical signals that lead the workers to accept their role as reproducers for the colony Gamergates exist in colonies with winged and ergatoid queens as well as singly in monogynous colonies and alongside other reproductively viable gamergates in polygynous colonies. Most gamergate species are solitary generalist foragers living in arid environments.

![So l saw this post on /r/KotakulnAction and decided to see how Ir/GamerGhazi would react to the same kind of questions as you can see they dont seem to like it... /r/KotakulnAction t GamerGhazi Some questio 149 comments Kotaku!nAction 1 day ago by thoraw ▼ 6 hours ago by pro-gg-throwaway I am not I am not looking for you to change my mind, I just want to hear som e answer from you. oyou to 1) Can you provide proof of harassment of GGers based on the fact that 1) Can you provide proof that the harrasment and threats of @spacekatgal and @femfreq was done by 2) What do you think about the pro-gg people being 3) What do you think about the women supporting 2) Why is it ou call it af 3) What is 4chan's involvement with the GG movement? Did they create it and #notyourshield? So you dont have proof? It could have been ne? Maybe trolls? points 1 day ago 1. Yeah: here's a tumblr full of them http: Delvaris Gubmint GunGrabber 4 points 6 hours ago 1. No, I'm sure it was done to them because of their winning personality and had nothing to do with their 2. Most of us dont, although we do feel their pinning it on an open hashtag that any body can be in is immoral. We've nt that is people that di 2. I think it's super s-----. Nobody should be harassed over 8chan and then admitting to it in the same thread that they are going to use it as proof we hate women, without them I also don't think it's in terms of volume. I think claims otherwise are manifestly 4chan has very little power over #gamergate and #notyourshield. The starter of #notyourshield was accused of being a sockpuppet account, but provided proof he was real. Oddly enough, the account that accused him of it, A Girl Irl was actually a legit sockpuppet made by a male SA goon who was very anti-gg. The starter of #gamergate was Adam Baldwin, I doubt 4chan has power over him or 3. That's fine? Unlike Gamergate I don't have an issue withUnlike gamergate?? Just look at the votes on each question You may not but the rest of the subreddit does people who have dissenting opinions. Main rule is no pro-gg shilling. I hope you enjoyed my answers in the short time before your s--- gets deleted. No shilling No discussion StandWithLilith 1 point 5 hours ago No, I'm sure it was done to them because of their inning personality and had nothing to do with their Also, the irony in a real minority of beina fake is hilarious. le that disagree That's exactly it.

And this harassment towards all these people has all taken place during this crap, and targeted the the exact people gamergaters are obsessed with. Jesus f------ christ dude. Imean...are you kidding me? do you think 5 hours ago 1) Can you provide proof that the harrasment and threats Brianna Wu was threatened shortly after her doxx was that it was from GamerGate is the most valid. admission, mention GamerGate at least once. And even if they didn't, the fact that GamerGate frequently aligns itself with the ant-Sarkeeslan brigade should at least ralse What do you think about the pr o-gg people being So its bad but not as bad as the stuff happening to the people on your side It's awful, but it's not equivalent. GG's reponse to their or 3) What do you think about the women supporting meaningless. Women can, in fact, work to the n's rights. There were women who age, for crying Social Justice Gla.. 3 points 5 hours ago same as above t On your last point, Ill just leave this: Missepus 1 point 4 hours ago 1) Can you provide proof that the harrasment and threats of No, I leave it to the correct authorities to investigate. There is a strong correlation and logic indicates causation, but I have no evidence. As for my personal belief. I don't think its 2) What do you think about the pro gg people being 3) What do you think about the women supporting From what I saw of the three women on Huffington Post, enthusiastic about their compatriots, and quite loyal Slothsrightsactivist Psy-ops Specialist 2 points 3 hours ago are Random statement without reason looking for poit6hours And GG are the ones against discussion?

Occam's razor. Anita also says that one of the threats did explicitly mention GG. You may not believe her, but she actually has a pretty good track record of telling the truth about these things. You've been burned before by doubting her, why stick your hand in the fire again? She most likely cannot release more details of the threats because they are evidence in an ongoing FBI investigation, but she also has a No proof, just sayin the timing was wein Giving fair reasons why FemFreq shouldnt wouldnt lie 2. I think it's awful, and I don't deny that they likely came from people who are anti-GG. Anyone in GG who gets threatened should contact the police so they can investigate. If there is anything I personally can do to help the people who have been threatened, let me know. I would be happy to o as well as assist in any police investigation should I have any useful i Finaly someone willing to admit that there are bad roup 3. I believe that women are fully capable of making their own decisions. I don't agree with them, but that's okay.
