Also a lot of people got one shot by the me too movement
As far as im concerned? I still dont know what gamergate is
It's coming from my objective analysis of roleplayers suddenly acting religious when 15 years ago you could see them all epicfully trolling the Christians on facebook.
Gamergate was a controversial online campaign that gained significant attention in 2014 and 2015. Here's a breakdown of what it involved:
- Origins:
- It ostensibly began with concerns about ethical practices in video game journalism.
- However, it quickly escalated into a widespread online harassment campaign.
- Key Characteristics:
- It was characterized by intense online harassment, particularly targeting women in the video game industry.
- Prominent targets included game developers like Zoë Quinn and Brianna Wu, as well as media critic Anita Sarkeesian.
- It was fueled by a backlash against perceived increases in feminism, diversity, and progressive viewpoints within video game culture.
- Nature of the Campaign:
- It involved widespread online harassment, including threats of violence, doxing (publishing private information), and other forms of abuse.
- It's widely considered to have been a manifestation of misogyny within certain segments of the gaming community.
- It has also been seen as a contributing factor to the rise of the alt-right and other right wing movements.
- Impact:
- Gamergate sparked widespread discussions about online harassment, sexism in gaming, and the evolving nature of online communities.
- It also highlighted the problems of online harassment, and the difficulty of stopping it.
In essence, while it initially presented itself as a movement for ethical journalism, Gamergate became notorious for its aggressive and often misogynistic online harassment.

"Ethics in games journalism" not really but that is what they used to say.
I'm kinda foggy on the details but zoe quinn? wrote a favorable review of game worked on? made by? someone she had relations with and it justified to some a lot of incel tendencies they already had. Actually maybe she made the game honestly it doesnt matter.
There were a lot of memes, and somehow hating anita sarkesian was part of the equation.
Dunno if webm's embed here but i found one.
refpsi takes the cake.. but still.
youre the incel.
What?
That word has lost all meaning now like calling someone a nazi. Incel is basically like calling a man a little bitch with the implications and attack on his sexual and personal life. It's like calling a woman a dirty whore, except today it's not widely acceptable to say a woman is a whore who sleeps around and place the burden of proof in her to prove she's not sucking a lot of dicks, whereas a man needs to prove he's sexually active but not only getting laid but getting laid with respectable, attractive woman because that's what real non Incel men do Kekw.
Grow up
Something something ur an incel
Reductionist poster alert
Kinda interesting that the origin of the term came from a women running a site in '97 to connect people who were finding it difficult to form loving relationships.
It would be like calling a woman a femcel, because they exist. Just like incels.
You literally do the same thing you're full of it.
