he best we can do now is put out the its sad that Felicia got su an outsiders perspective, and as painting the critics (all artforms have critics-its up to the individual to decide if they agree or not) as "evil book burners" when these people are just trying to point out where games can improve and represent more people. And then the critics get r--- and death threats for trying to take their toys away iames. Irreparable damage has already been done only occasionally pokes at games in order to figure out gifts for the clan,I have to say that this whole thing is pretty damn disgusting tfrom all sides. The truth, as I see it, is that the gaming industry is not responding to the demands of their consumers, and when they do try, there is a group ofVERY vocal, and often vocally violent gamers who scream into the crowd until theirs is the only people .unfortunately they have the PR power and she didn't get to see how nice There are about five sides to this, and untl GamerGaters finally split themselves off and really identfy what they stand for, this is going to we are What is even worse is that nobody tries to see the other side. We are held responsible for a handful of terrible trolls and noone sees the good we've done. Hell our side has even had its fair share ofharassment and doxxing plain a htp:l/deadspin.com/the-future Women in gaming are now genuinely terrified, and as long as such a large group rallies around the hashtag at the forefront of the threats, that won't ne What I want to know is why there isn't room in this genre for everyone's opinion? why does it have to be all or nothing? Because that's what I take from it If you don't like a particular game, then dont buy it If there really isn't a market for it, trust me, the gaming companies wont keep putting it out there But if they put a product out there that sells, and it has features or options that appeal to different kind of gamer, that just doesnt seem like a legitimate reason to go all "1WILL DESTROY YOU ALLI" on everyone who does like it hrs-Edited-Like But pardon me if the death and r--- threats drown out everything else Making a new hashtag that didn'tcome from Adam Baldwin being a a------ would be a good move a day If you align yourself with that side, widely known for death and r--- threats, maybe you should rethink your alliance and make a new faction that ISNT known for death and r--- threats. Otherwise, I am forced to conclude that you condone death and r--- threats. If your "side" throws out death and r--- threats, I'm prety much not going to try to see anywhere near on Supernatural, and I was walking around downtown Vancouver on Saturday, sampling all the artisan coffee I could get my throat around. At one p comment overlap necessitated removing the first sentence point ir of guys walking towards me wearing Of The And It's Gamergate ere htp://www.breitbart.com/.. Exposed-the-secret-mailing I cant stand Bronte and Austen, and I will admit to being fairly vocal about it, but I've never once thought it was necessary to BURN ALL THE BOOKS 8 KILL ALL THE FANSII That's what this feels like to me. Its a modern age book burning, from both sides. ed: The Secret as never condones the r--- and death threats, hell we report them on sight They want people to lump the few bad apples in with us. Not too long ago Anita Sarkeesian came under attack again and GamerGate rallied and had the account suspended in less than two hours. We are not bad people. This whole movement is about gaming journalistic integrity and the game journos are using their PR power to smear us 2 hrs is really g quick ouid.beipcwm4B3EU4 ell, Anita said that. I said "Don't be a d--- which I still think is pretty sage advice rs Remove Preview Article Poster/Neutral-GG and yes what Anita said is right. These p said that gamers are dead, called us everything under the sun and even said for ethics We are not afraid that we are going to get our toys taken Within any cause, within any group, and within any away. For years we have relied on these sites to provide us with reviews and opinions on games and we find out that these people are colluding to give certain games better scores? C'mon if the nation found out that The New York Times, Washington Post, and Wall Street Journal were all working together and only reporting on stories that only benefited their friend the entire US would have a god damned s--- fit But because we are deemed neckbeareded cheeto fingered basement dwelling gamers no ones seems to want to listen to our side movement there will always be terrible voices that speak loudly but do not necessarily represent the group as a whole. I associate myself as a furry, a reform in game industry media. Evidence comes up and a feminist. Any one o Women should not be afraid and hell we have many women who are at the forefront of our movement. We are trying to just get people to listen to our side. I will leave off now because it seems we are all set in our opinions, thanks for letting us discuss this some prety terrible insults, based some of the voices that speak for those groups particular And when your group is responsible for bad or points, however, it has also said some terrible things that certainly warrant some reevaluation dr if you want people to take you seriously, don't be a d---. This goes for criminal behavior in its name, it will be a bad group. For example, the KKK has often been referred to a Christian or a business club, and I dont care how many bake sales they may have, they are still a bad group. Like Kirby said, maybe its time to start another g The New York Times, Washington Post, and Wall Street -Neutral-GOG Journal were all working together and only reporting on stories that only on all si threats but no one seems to care If you dont realize that this is how news media in America works, and has pretty much always worked, you need to come to terms with that first Thanks Jeffrey, that makes a lot of sense. The one point I anm part of the p is that your side is really trying to get across is that the no one is looking past the bad PR that rhetoric, their side is shouting rhetoric, the finger of blame is going off in every direction, and no one is listening ple are putting out They saying b say we a s proof of a hate movement that is focused on bullying and harassing women out of gaming.They refuse to report on the good we have done; like when we funded The Fine Young Capitalists (a group that was promoting women developers in gaming) or how we raised over $10,000 for a anti-bullying charity. Hell they starkly refuse to report on the harassment our side has encountered. I have even received death threats from people l dont know This reminds me too much of the Civil War. One side claims to be fighting against one thing, the other side claims they are fighting fo the whole time the people creating the confict are only seeking to satisfy their own selfinterests. Everyone needs to take a deep breath, and try to see the forest for the trees, before they burn the whole thing down. People in the same industry talk behind the scenes. I'm sorry this is news to you. It happens all the time, especially when an entre medium is under attack (which it was, for over two decades, untl just recently - as recently as Sandy Hook-and now again, thanks to people who say they love it), and people who would like to see that medium survive unsullied need to circle Pardon the hell out of me: the PART of the side" then. Ive yet to see any hard evidence of collusion in gaming journalism. But ultimately, those people are gamers too, and its a relatively small community with lots of friends all over it, just like any other exploding medium. There will be people who know each other. These are video game reviews. You're ng some kind of la situations: comics, books, film, and make your comparisons there, not on does pretty much what you're accusing video

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
