Gamergate was about a lot of things. It's a crazy rabbit hole.
There were multiple women involved and all of them claimed to be harassed.
Initially it was about Zoe Quinn (the story @LUCIEN is talking about) there were other stories as well, like women attacking gamers claiming that gaming is sexist and promotes violence towards women.
At it's core though it was about journalism and whether people who are dating or friends with developers should be giving good reviews of the games they make and other women who were taking money under the table..it was insane.
Quite a few guys did get verbally abusive though, it was baaaaaaaaaaaad
Yeah I read a story on cracked.com about it. Said ol girl was getting all sorts of rape threats, threatening calls, death threats, nudes exposed...all over a video game. Whether or not the game was trash, that shit really did just prove her point about salty ass dudes going overboard
That never happened tho.
Unless she created screenshots of the messages it happened
Messages came from "anonymous" users. You don't understand how diabolical these bitches are. They will fabricate threat narratives in order to generate support.
They got exposed on the facts unethical actions in journalism. So they tried to make it an emotional and moral issue by pulling out tried and true feminist maneuvers with rape culture and misogyny.
Wasnt it led by that alt right dude from Britebart Milo?
I doubt that Milo sent threats of any kind. It would've undermined his moves.
He could have but nothing was ever tied to him until that pedo fiasco.
