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. …………………………....…..……….…..... Attack type Victims Motive View source Inquiry XA 28 languages ✓ Perpetrators Internet trolls, particularly from 4chan, Internet Relay Chat, and 8chan View history Tools ✓ Gamergate August 2014 - 2015 Women in the video game industry See all media Online harassment campaign Zoë Quinn, Anita Sarkeesian, Brianna Wu, and others Gamergaters created conspiracy theories falsely accusing Quinn of an unethical relationship with video game journalist Nathan Grayson.[23][24][25] More broadly, they alleged unethical collusion between the press and feminists, progressives, and social critics.[17][26] [27] These claims were widely dismissed as trivial, conspiracy theories, baseless, or unrelated to actual issues of ethics in gaming and journalism.[28] [29][30] Gamergate supporters frequently denied that the harassment took place, falsely claiming it to be manufactured by the victims.[31][32] Misogyny anti-feminism anti- progressivism FBI investigation Gamergate has been described as a culture war over cultural diversification, artistic recognition, feminism in video games, social criticism in video games, and the social identity of gamers.[28][33] [34] [35] Many supporters of Gamergate opposed the increasing influence of feminism and so-called "social justice warriors" on video game culture. [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

Author has 304 answers and 740.1K answer views. 5y Not that I care that much either way, but it did expose a lot of corrupt game developers and game journalists. 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

Polygon Reviews Code Name: S.T.E.A.M., admits to not finishing it.

Code Name: S.T.E.A.M. 3DS Nintendo | Release Date: Mar 13, 2015 Summary Critic RevieWS User Reviews Details & Credits Irailers& Videos User Score Generally favorable reviews based on 40 Ratings Metascore ST Mixed or average reviews based on 24 Critics Your Score 0 What's this? Code name S.T.E.A.M. got generally positive reviews, except from polygon. They didn't even finish it: 3.5 I didn't finish Code Name STEAM. Sneer all you want, The only positive part of the review is praise of their ideological ally Wil Wheaton: literature's greatest heroes? It's just embarrassing. Special clemency granted to actor and geek idol Wil Wheaton, who injects his portrayal of Abraham Lincoln with enough energy and verve to occasionally buoy the leaden script. 3.5 305 Adam Baldwin(hated by the sites like Polygon) also did voice work in this game. Is Polygon's review such an outlier due to ideological bias mixed with sheer laziness of the reviewer?

We military now.

Rami Ismail @tha rami Hilversum, Netheriands Chief Executive Business & Development Guy at indle game studlio Viambeer. Creator of presskto. Drinks only real cane sugar coke http:wwww.ramismai.com 1016 374 So love NC, and decided to look into the people that make it. I've noticed an awful lot of hostility towards "GamerGaters" or whatever they're called. After a little research, I don't see what there's so much to hate about'em. Just seems like people being people. Your thoughts? Gamergate is a militarized movement that pretends to be about'ethics in videogame journalism'. It has been part of a larger movement that has causeda lot of hate, hostility and harassment in the industry. Participants vary wildly, but tend to be radically opposed to feminism, diversity initiatives, academia, criticism of the artform or progressive game design, or a combination thereof Gamergate has engaged in dogpiling, threatening, harassing, doxxing and intimidating - and were such a large problem that most major companies in the games industry have spoken up against the movement and the damage it causes to the industry and the reputation of the industry. Individuals tend to speak up against it less frequently, because the damage of Gamergate targeting you can include attempts at getting you fired, personal information being spread, harassment and threats against yourself or your loved ones. Many targets have resorted to using tools to make their social media experience usable again, and two-factor authentication became ubiquitous for people in the industry after the rise of Gamergate You can look up coverage about it on most major news sites, including CNN BBC and in the gaming press. I'm strongly opposed to the movement, having been a minor target (worst I got was a photo of my front door with a threatening rtarget!) and knowing several of main targets An upside of the movement is that now it is clear that our industry has community issues. While a majority of the games industry is very supportive of diversity efforts, we still have rotten apples and a subsection of gamers is still very hostile towards 'others'. We have a long way too go ,直

Video Games Industry Exec gives some good advice

Sriracha Kevin Dent @TheKevinDent Video games industry exec focused on strategy, investors, production and secrets. views are mine, not my bosses Sriracha Kevin Dent @TheKevinDent 3h Spoiler alert: If you criticize someone's work, it is perfectly legitimate for them to in turn criticize your work in a respectful way! t34 *11 Sriracha Kevin Dent @TheKevinDent 3h Criticism does not and should not include: Threats, harassment, being a d---, ma king unrelated personal jabs or just trolling Sriracha Kevin Dent @TheKevinDent 3h Likewise if someone states that they disagree with you..... Well all can suggest is that you either take it on board or you disregard it. Sriracha Kevin Dent @TheKevinDent 3h But if their criticism/disagreeing upsets you a think that you need to sit down with a professional to talk. d makes you angry then l really Sriracha Kevin Dent @TheKevinDent 3h In the business world, people disagree all the time and they either try to find leverage or if theyre smart they find a middle ground! Sriracha Kevin Dent @TheKevinDent 3h It is rare in the business world that you see a bunch of people screaming at each other resulting in a good deal. Middle. Ground. Is. Key! Sriracha Kevin Dent @TheKevinDent 3h Of course there are exceptions and they normally end up having a very short career because screaming at the moon isn't actually a talent!

#JeNeSuisPasLiberal: Entering the Quagmire of Online Leftism By DAVID AUERBACH

While anti-oppression politics frequently grants greater epistemic authority and compensatory credibility to members of oppressed groups, such membership is not a Get Out of Jail Free card, as a marginalized person may have unconsciously internalized" oppressive ideas. Moralist phrases like "internalized misogyny" and "internalized racism" are popular in callouts, leading to such occurrences as white men attempting to call out the false consciousness of black women. Under anti- oppression theory, it should come as no surprise that white men are some of the most aggressively loud practitioners of callouts. 10.

Creation of #LetDevsSpeak

After seeing Mancil get shutdown by Ben Kuchera the same as Mark Kern getting shutdown by Ben Kuchera and VG 24/7's Patrick Garratt - a few other devs decided to step in and speak up against the gaming journalists responsible for twisting a narrative against the gaming community since August of 2014 Thomas Geffroyd, the content director on Ubisoft's Watchdogs, was one of the Calvary that arrived to backup Mancil, joining in on a new hashtag called LetDevsSpeak. Thomas Geffrovd Follow R-I-P @Orph30 #LetDevsSpeak because they do have valid opinions about our industry and diversity of those opinions makes it a whole 6:20 PM - 14 Mar 2015 264 RETWEETS 315 FAVORITES Geffroyd was then joined by other developers who chimed in as rebellious chorus against the gatekeepers of old. Game designer Matthew Callahan hopped on board, utilizing the hashtag as well Matthew Callahan @CalabuMaki Follow I am a DEV and I speak up, don't be scared, your silence gives them power. #GamerGate #LetDevsSpeak #gamedev 3:32 PM - 14 Mar 2015 80 RETWEETS 79 FAVORITES Moderate journalists and writers also joined in on the action, hoping to get more developers to step forward and speak out, something that's been a difficult task to accomplish for the past seven months due to the kind of backlash that we're seeing against developers like Mark Kern and Chris Mancil Liana K @redlianak Follow #LetDevsSpeak because if we're going to critique their work, it's only fair that they can reapply or disagree with ours too 9:46 PM - 14 Mar 2015 90 RETWEETS 104 FAVORITES Mark Kern Following Devs, if you are afraid of speaking up, ask vourselves: who has made vou so afraid? Now your enemy is clear. #gamedev #indiedev わt * RETWEETS FAVORITES 5:51 PM- 1 Mar 2015 This has been compounded with tools like the GG Autoblocker, which adds various neutral followers and retweeters to a list generated around prominent #GamerGate figures and blocks them systematically. This GG Autoblocker has even managed to catch various indie devs just looking to get informed about events surrounding the matter Red Morgan Follow @DreadMorgan The GG Autoblocker is a blacklisting tool used to exile dissenting voices in the game industry. #LetDevsSpeak or there will only be silence 5:31 PM - 14 Mar 2015 56 RETWEETS 57 FAVORITES Mancil wants to take the peaceful road about it, but some developers genuinely want the corruption to end, such as Mark Kern and Adrian Chmielarz.
