Now I'm imagining an adult man being so profoundly hurt about being called childish for playing video games that he decides to start a """counter-movement""" to defend himself from the terrible opressive world making fun of him...

And that just makes the whole thing more pathetic tbh.

Honestly I find it more pathetic to ridicule people for something they love in the first place.

[(Anonymous)]

More pathetic than creating a whole identity in response to someone calling you childish, for playing video games, thereby proving them right?

Nah.

[kallanda_lee]

People create identities based on subcultures literally all the time.

It's no more pathetic that being a goth, or being vegan.

[(Anonymous)]

They're all pathetic, in a way. No one has to justify any desires to anyone. The phrase "none of your business" has become an unwilling anachronism, but it is still applicable.

[(Anonymous)]

I think both are kind of equally pathetic. It's ridiculous to badmouth people for liking a form of entertainment that you don't, but it's also ridiculous to pretend liking a form of entertainment makes you superior to anyone.

[(Anonymous)]

Not "what they love" but "what they obsess about 24-7 to the extent that they play gatekeeper and construct imaginary worlds where No Gurlz Alloud and basically become the worst possible embodiment of the loser geek."

I wish that was why it was even started.

It came up as a result of a protracted harassment campaign started by an ex.

He wrote a very long blog piece outlining how he felt she hurt him. I don't care to comment further because other people's private lives aren't my business. He did not feel this way, and shopped the piece around to various nerd centric forums in an attempt to create a grass roots movement to defame her (I believe hoods words were something like "to warn the industry and individuals about her")

He was rejected at almost every forum he posted on due to the ugly, hurtful intent of the post. He was not rejected by /v/

Channers took the defamation idea and ratcheted it up to harassment. In their irc channel, logs show them discussing ways to reframe the harassment to appeal to a broader audience. Since "they had a bad relationship" isn't a relatable reason to harass women, it was suggested it be reframed as an issue of ethics in video game journalism since they could make a connection between ZQ and a journalist.

The original post didn't claim nepotism, but seizing on this would lead to the notorious IA video which furthered the claim. Adam Baldwin tweeted the video with the GamerGate hashtag, and that's how GamerGate began.

It came from people wanting it to be there. Seriously.

gamergate is not gamer culture. nice try, though.

[(Anonymous)]

I've been calling myself a gamer for appox a decade.
