I know this topic was banned a while back. Don't know if it is now, but I want to ask about it.
I'm writing a paper on GamerGate for my English class. Anything I should know about that I can't find on the wiki or YouTube?

It was the single greatest mistake /v/ made its was supposed to be a funding campaign for women's rights while pissing off ZQ.
But redditfags and normies flooded the fucking board with their entire GG bullshit. Thank god all of the GG fags moved to doublechin or this place would have been turned into the a real shithole neo /v/. Not like it hasn't already.
SJW's had a huge shit-staining guerrilla campaign against GG, just to make it seem like an misogynist anti-female movement of raging male nerds.
It's even more sad that this imposed fame got caught by many normie media outlets, who now keep repeating Sarkeesia's lies. It's even more ridiculous, knowing how many female gamers were on it, using the #notyourshield -hastag to signal them not agreeing on Anita's ridiculous, lesbosexual male-shaming views.
tl;dr: if you nowadays say you are part of the GG, you will be marked as a sexist pig.

>Implying people who still support GG aren't complete autismos
I want reddit off this board please.

>still using term "autism"
>still thinking everyone's from leddit
>thinks it's OK to let a total femnazi bitch, who's hated by men and women alike these days, to ruin people's lifes and hobby is OK

My mistake, I didn't know you were from tumblr.
Who the fuck gives a shit about that, they the autists stay in their circlejerks, just ignore them and play vidya.

Ask twitter/tumblr for the anti-GG perspective.
Ask dubschan for the pro-GG perspective.
Asking /v/ about it these days will just get you a bunch of shitposting.
>>332138217
What the fuck even is GamerGate? All I know is people are pissed about it.

Both sides are wrong, it became an us vs them mentality. It also strayed far from the goal it was supposed to reach in the first place.

But what is it?
>>332140158
/v/ finally got solid proof that vidya "journalism" was shite, and flipped out about it, then other sites started to pay attention, including a bunch of women who somehow managed to convince themselves it was all about them, then famous man gave it a name on twitter at about the same times most sites started to tell people discussing it to fuck off, and it eventually devolved into a bunch of pro/anti feminism shitflinging with the occasional cry for better journalism.
Your average 4chan happening basically.

Once the goal was reached it should have stopped there, there was no need to egg it on any further. The SJW would dig their own grave. But then reddit and normies joined in as well as other social media outlets that made an absolute shitstorm on an otherwise perfect plan.
