"The feminist game critic Anita Sarkeesian had to cancel a recent speech at Utah State University because of a death threat related to GamerGate.That probability has taken its toll. Looks like your browser doesn't support JavaScript. Yet large swaths of the gaming community are either unable or unwilling to separate the two. I would hope and request that the games press be respectful of what IS a personal matter, and not news, and not about games. At present, still-active GamerGaters to whom I have spoken estimate that about half of the posters on Kotaku In Action are pro-Trump. Part of this belief seems to stem from his assertion that "thezoepost" was not a misogynistic character assassination, as it has been painted online, but a "callout post" detailing Quinn's purported misdeeds and hypocrisies as an emblem of social justice. YouTuber John Bain, a popular video game critic known under the nickname “Total Biscuit,” who strongly condemned harassment but also took That brings us to perhaps the most contentious question: Was GamerGate a precursor to the alt-right and did it prepare the ground for Trump’s election?In a literal sense, the answer to the first part is a clear no: The alt-right as a white nationalist fringe existed at least since 2010, when Richard Spencer launched the It is also true that there were alt-right-type elements within GamerGate. “Net neutrality is important. Game of Fear: The Story Behind GamerGate by Zachary Jason Apr,28,2015 | Boston Magazine --- [The Hit Piece on Eron Gjoni] Eron shows up in the comments here too! It is not your goddamned business.Because I’ve had a small degree of success in a specific subculture, every aspect of my life is suddenly a matter of public concern.

This is another example of gendered violence, whereby my personal life becomes a means to punish my professional credentials and to try to shame me into giving up my work. For instance: The ex who started it all, programmer Eron Gjoni, was a pro-social justice leftist who ostensibly intended his post on August 16, 2014 as a “call-out” about psychological abuse (as recently The “Zoepost” was quickly taken down from SA, but not before someone saved a copy and put it up on 4Chan. But also I don't know how to do that without taking the responsibility away from people who are actually doing the harassment. Some were concerned about the politicization of gaming. Know Your Meme is an advertising supported site and we noticed that you're using an ad-blocking solution. Eron shows up in the thread, where multiple people suggest he start a general purpose legal fund so that he can sue everyone who 'libeled' him this past 8 months. Some just wanted to watch it all burn.”Quinn was a polarizing figure for various reasons, including perceptions of unearned acclaim for creating a single text-based educational game, “Depression Quest.” (Some of the resentment may well have been gender-based, but male game developers have gotten GamerGaters typically claimed that their movement was about “ethics in gaming journalism,” a much-lampooned phrase that inspired derisive GamerGate’s gender politics have been sarcastically GamerGaters also typically believed that there was far too much fuss about gender issues in video games and in the gaming community, and that these issues were being used as a pretext to police expression (for instance, when the video game magazine On the other hand, the GamerGate Reddit board, Kotaku In Action, had Indeed, GamerGate’s mascot of choice was a “gamer girl”: the ginger-haired “Vivian James,” a character designed by GamerGaters for the Fine Young Capitalists contest and meant to represent young women who love gaming and don’t want politics in their video games.Feminist media critic and GamerGate foe Katherine Cross has Nicole was one of a number of women who were prominent in GamerGate in its heyday, including game journalists Georgina White and Liz Finnegan and independent game developer One of the most perceptive and balanced articles published about GamerGate in the mainstream media, a (Klein’s analysis was later confirmed by an admittedly non-scientific Klein acknowledged that “Gamergate … isn’t any one thing” but a multifaceted phenomenon that included debates about what kind of video games should be made and covered, real concerns about conflict-of-interest policies in the gaming press, and backlash against “social justice warriors” on the internet. Suddenly it’s acceptable to share pictures of my breasts on social media to threaten and punish me. Martin described Gjoni as "gentle and conscientious" and said that she condoned the publication of "thezoepost" because of her own past as a victim of emotional abuse, which she felt Quinn had committed against her friend.Gjoni also consulted his mother, a human resources manager who asked that her name not be used. "And yet Gjoni, whose friends described as deliberate and calm, may not have fully taken that reality into account. N4G has not made a public statement on why the article was removed.On August 28th, Total Biscuit released a lengthier second response on his blogOn August 20th, Kotaku writer Stephen Totilo released an article on KotakuAs investigations into journalistic integrity continued over the days after the article was posted continued, Kotaku decided to make a second statement surrounding the events,On August 19th, Quinn published a post on her TumblrThis has nothing to do with games and is not a matter of legitimate public interest, but is simply a personal matter. This is explicitly about my private life, which has been regrettably forced into the public and framed by people who pose a threat to my safety and well being as well as that of the people I love. "Martin, Gjoni's friend, thinks that blaming "thezoepost" for the woman-hating extremes of GamerGate is short-sighted. Chris Ip of the Several writers who attempted to understand Gamergate's motivations concluded that, rather than relating to purported issues with gaming journalism ethics, Gamergate represented an effort to suppress opposing views.Other commentators argued that Gamergate had the potential to raise significant issues in gaming journalism, but that the wave of misogynistic harassment and abuse associated with the hashtag had After analyzing a sample of tweets related to Gamergate, Gamergate has been criticized for focusing on women, especially female developers, while ignoring many large-scale journalistic ethics issues.

"This kind of recursive, contradictory, and sometimes confusing argumentation characterized much of the interview. Heroes and villains don’t exist – just regular boring-ass people with scars and fuckups and moments of brilliance. I have forfeited this by being a blip in a small community, while those who delight in assailing me hide behind their keyboards and a culture that permits it, beyond reproach.My life and my body are not public property.
