![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")

He is being very professional in his approach and you're putting up a wall of anger. Hello, my name is Austin LaBorde and I had recently discovered myself on the blocklist. Let it be known, that I have NEVER committed harassment towards anybody, nor have I ever condoned the act in any way, shape, or form ever. 1:45 PM-31 Oct 2014 My Twitter: https://twitter.com/brutereviews Austin LaBorde @BruteReviews Follow Please note that once I discovered my inclusion on this list. I was not very happy about it. I highly believe that I was placed there by mistake, I only follow a few people involved in the movement. Does not make me guilty to be placed on a list to be blocked Good luck with those lawsuits when the 1st amendment steps in and swings its hammer! @Spacekatgal #GamerGate I Await Your Decision Austin LaBorde Austin LaBorde 12:51 PM (35 minutes ago) Begin forwarded message: 12:42 PM-29 Oct 2014 Renaissance Nerd @Ren_Nerd- Oct 29 @BruteReviews @Spacekatgal yea it's hammer is mighty indeed Date: November 23, 2014 at 11:37:33 AM CST Subject: Re: Appeal To Unblock Austin LaBorde @BruteReviews The sooner we publish the specifics of what qualifies or doesn't qualify for a rejection, the better, because we're getting a lot of people who seem to think it's only death threats or something l consider myself neutral. But why have l never seen ANY solid proof that #GamerGate purposefully did these things? As for Austin, his little tantrum is both mis-targeted (really? he couldn't do just a little bit of research and find out that it wasn't in fact the IGDA's tool?) and demonstrates that he belongs on the blocklist. Plus, specific disqualifying behavior Sea Lion: https://twitter.com/BruteReviews/status/528286626590769152 Victim Blaming: https://twitter.com/BruteReviews/status/525020669005029378 2 Suffices for me.
