![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")

![4G Olay 92%, 16:52 [-]Acheros [score hidden] 39 minutes ago then why is qetting vou to just stop editing a single article such a challenge? if you really felt you were "iust some quv", then literally anyone else would be able to take up the job. You've all but admitted to having a clear bias and pushing a POV, which IIRC is against wiki's rules. jimbo himself has called you out on your b------- and you have the brass balls to argue with the co-founder of wikipedia about the sites rules as if you know better than him. You've removed edits from credible sources because they don't fit the narrative you're trying to spin while trying to claim that every s----- tabloid blog on the internet is credible if it helps you with your agenda. You've pushed for having people banned from wikipedia because they've seen through your lies, and how YOU haven't been banned by now is something I will never understand... So, tell me. if you're "just some guy", why don't you just stop editing the article? permalink par ent -1rvulong67 [score hiddenl 38 minutes ago l don't know](https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/newsfeed/000/866/018/cf8.png "cf8.png")
