There are taboo views/positions To use the easiest, most obvious, example: You can discuss the Holocaust, debate exactly when the Reich decided that the answer was mass murder, if the massacre of the Jews somehow makes people forget about the rest of the Cap's victims, etc. These discussion happen all the time, both in Chat, and depending on the way it is brought up, in post 1900. No harm, no foul, lots of really thoughtful comments. What you can NOT do is claim that the Holocaust did not occur (Denial), that the victims "deserved" it (justification), or engage in whataboutism (The Allies nuked Hiroshima so...). Nazism is also a automatic kill. War Crime denial is something of a wobbler, but can fall into this category as well. Any of those are one way tickets out of town. Racism/overt insulting bigotry are also potentially ban-worthy first time, depending on how overt and offensive it is Gamergate has lots of recent victims, not because of Gamergate as a subject, but because every single effort made here to support it was, at the core misogynistic. That doesn't mean a reasonable defense can't be mae assuming someone can find it (although I am frankly hard put to come up with even a reasonable devil's advocate position), it means it would have to be based on fact, not opinion or sympathy for gamers who started the crusade. Eddie would go! In the end it wasn't guns or bombs that defeated the Russians, but that humblest of God's creatures, the Irukandji jellyfish. LSC Quote

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. …………………………....…..……….….....

[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
