![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")

![[-] - 29 points 7 hours ago This situation has got me wondering. We know anyone who makes it on GG's radar is bound to be harassed soon afterwards. But could we be having a similar effect? And is there anything that could be done to prevent it? permalink seurce save save-RES report give gold reply hide child comments M] 33 points 7 hours ago Any kind of group that focuses on individuals like that will create a culture of harassment. If people feel like it's okay to harass people then there will be someone that does it. I think what's important is making sure in our community it's not okay to do that. This involves calling out, downvoting, and banning people who are harassing or suggest harassing (we already do this). Part of it also involves not creating "targets". Like it's okay to have posts about Milo or somebody but when we have a whole bunch of posts about an individual is generally not a good idea because while most of us will just point and laugh from the sidelines, some people will actually go and harass them. Finally, we need to make sure in our subreddit culture to discourage people from engaging with GamerGate. If you want to do that go to AgainstGamergate. For example, we get an automod autoremove when someone posts with negative aggregate karma. It's really annoying sometimes because we have people who like shitposting in KiA and of course get downvoted there and have negative karma overall so we have to keep manually approving their posts. The individual who was part of GGhazi who went after Kiwikku has been banned for a few days to cool off. Similarly, we will ban anyone who does the same. If the infraction is worse it will be a permaban. permalink source save save-RES parent report give gold reply](https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/newsfeed/000/890/086/a76.png "Meanwhile at Ghazi...")
