What was gamer gate - Too young to know or care about what it was at the time

[Gone Ham]

Genuinely what the fuck was it

 

[thismanlies]

It was a bunch of people grifting off a whore fucking five guys.

 

[L50LasPak]

Too optimistic.

 

[ChefKiss]

a dude found out his gf was cheating on him with 5 guys
this led to him finding out there were a lot of sex pests in his social justice circles
he further learned that these people were using their social justice as a defense to attack anyone who outed them as sex pests
he tried posting his reciepts on something awful and neogaf but it turned out both of those sites were also infested with/run by sex pests of various calibers who covered it up instantly
so he resorted to posting it on 4chan and the sex pests combined their power to screech that he, an obvious faggy soyboy was clearly an MRA nazi woman beating 4channer
4chan autists ignored all of that and focused on the fact that she was friends with game journos who were promoting her "game"
autism wars ensued with a mass intersection of dozens if not hundreds of lolcows

idk

 

[Blue Screen of Death]

Something that devolved into autistic culture war faggotry.
It's best we all forget it ever happened. There was something there in the beginning, but it sorta went off track.

An autistic meltdown. For more information, go to gamersgate.com.

 

[Hathungor]

Some talentless female hack game developer was fucking a bunch of journalists to get good reviews for her shit game, people called her out for it, she claimed gamers hated women and other activists jumped on the band wagon, the rest is history.

Pretty much all the wokeness and troonery that's going on right now took off because of GG, it was the retarded catalyst that started the retarded trashfire.

 

[Cyclonus]

The holocaust and 9/11 rolled together, according to game journos.

 

[Yuri_]

Gamergate is the name given to a horrific genocide that took place between 2013-2014

A courageous woman got a job as a video game journalist. The inceloids screeched bloody murder after she claimed that it was kinda cringe for adult men to be playing children's games like animal crossing. These incels went ballistic and took to the streets to target any female aspiring journalists. Many women were bludgeoned to death with frozen piss bottles or beaten to death with barely used guitar hero instruments.

Final death toll: 1 billion

A low-level shitlord by the name of Chelsea Van Falkenburg decided to "make a video game" and have it promoted through the usual shill system. She decided to suck off most of the kotaku politburo in the process. Her at the time "boyfriend" decided to call her out over a webpage titled "5 guys burgers and fries". Gamergate is the counter-reaction from the game journos.

Anita Sarkeesian came along in 2012 and kickstarted cultural in fighting among gamers, two years of growing tension came to a head with Gamergate.

According to The Narrative the totally unbiased Wikipedia now:

Gamergate was an online harassment campaign, initially conducted through the use of the hashtag #GamerGate, that centered around sexism and anti-progressivism in video game culture. Beginning August 2014, it targeted women in the video game industry—notably game developers Zoë Quinn and Brianna Wu, and feminist media critic Anita Sarkeesian.

 

[Snuckening]

It was like a gay pride march, but with more obesity and less women.
