Elizabeth Follow Told a kid I'd help him get into the industry. He was a GG guy. When he asked why l stopped helping him, I responded These people arent celebrities when you're in the game industry. They're your friends and colleagues and peers, but most of all, they're actual human people. The things people say about them and do to them on the Intemet have a real and visceral impact on their lives, just like the thing you said on the Internet just impacted your life right now I wish you the best of luck in the future. RETWEETS FAVORITES 4:03 PM-10 Sep 2014 Elizabeth @twoscooters 1d 1 Hello friends! I was a part of substantial layoffs at my company yesterday. If you or someone you know might want to hire me, pass it along!

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

$If it feels like #GamerGate is slowing down, pump some iron, and pay attention to how much lighter it seems after about 8 months. Think about it. >We were chugging in October, because it was harder for us. >We had to work our asses off to get changes, to get information. >There were less of us by a fraction of what we are now >Anti-GamerGate was stronger than we were. It took more effort to get it going. It was an uphill battle. Now it's effortless for us. >We've more than quadrupled in size. >Sites adopt ethics policies without fighting Our opponents are disintigrating and turning on each other The main stream media hasn't touched us since "How it feels >The last MSM attempt (How it Feels) was brutally torn apart. Intimidation Game, the thing Anti-GamerGate held its collective breath over, didn't do much better than a certain infamous Pokemon and its infamous move >We already weathered the worst of the Anti-GamerGate tactics back in October, and steamrolled straight over them. >We're starting to get stronger than them. Hell, even AyyTeam is a bigger threat than they are, at this point. (Which isn't saying much, tbqh. It's like saying Raditz is threatening.) GamerGate feels like it's slowing down, it's not. We've just gotten stronger, and the stuff we used to have to struggle to do seems like nothing at all, now If it seems like GamerGate isn't doing anything, any more, that's not because it's dying, or losing focus. It's because there's less to do, less to focus on. It's because it's winning.$
