#Gamergate

Here's a decent (if long) point-by-point on the Al-Jazeera interview (Brianna Wu)

 Spoiler

Throughout - Revolution60 images being shown, promoting Wu’s game, making her later statement about “not seeking coverage” quite ironic.

0:45 - All female protagonists game (rarity?) (Adam)

1:03 - Half of all gamers are women (Adam)

1:08 Most games are still designed by men (Adam)

1:17 - 30 years male dominated industry (Flynt)

1:25 - Women are just sex symbols (Flynt)

1:35 - Flynt has become a “lightning rod” for seeing criticisms as an attack on their identity. (Adam)

1:42 - Flynt claims threats were an attack on women’s identity as gamers
Anita video on objectification

2:10 - Footage of Assassin’s Creed of woman being called a whore and getting Throat Cut

02:19 - Male Dominated game design (Adam)

2:22 - Objectification video. (Whatever the pineapple it was, you can’t pay me to watch those videos again.)

2:38 - Says Antia accuses game designers of misogyny (Adam)
Shows clip of GTA (or similar game) where man throws a woman in the trunk of a car and punches her repeatedly

2:53 Utah campus shooting threat threat (Adam)

3:05 Most of the vitriol comes from hashtag Gamer Gate (Adam)

3:08 Gamergate, originally created by gamers concerned with ‘Fair gaming reviews’ (Adam)

3:11 Screen shows Kevin Dobson’s twitter page as evidence of Gamer Gate harassment. Kevin Dobson never tweeted the hashtag.

3:15 Claims is a loose movement associated with the worst of the worst of online harassment of women.

3:37 Claims three women were forced to leave their homes because of threats. They don’t name who.

3:50 ‘We’re talking about video games and you’re threatening to rape and kill her over video games.’ (Diana Zans)

4:05 part of an online taskforce to reduce the harassment of women on social media (Adam)

4:50 Diana said it’s culturally sanctioned by gamers to threaten women with rape and murder

5:15 image of trashy apartment of the pro-GGers sitting behind a big breasted mural.

5:23 intentional shots of the mural while interview is occurring of pro side

5:45 another intentional angled shot of the mural.

5:51 Adam mentions the mural calls her a superhero,‘gigantia’

5:56 implies that the pro gg playing GTA V and shows footage of a car driving on the sidewalk running over pedestrians.

6:30 ‘a bad review can make or break a game’ (Adam)

6:38 mentions the ‘gamers are dead’ articles did not go into why they were published implying the harassment was the cause of it.

7:15 Brings up Anita and claim that women are overly sexualized (Adam)

8:06 - Threats against women in gaming keeps happening over and over and over again (Wu)

8:19 - 90% of game designers are male (adam)

8:33 - what is at stake is women being in game development or not being in game development (Flynt)

8:57 - gamergate is terrorism against women (Flynt)

9:27 - Shot of them playing GTA 5 and shooting at a random car (Fun note, they showed him using a WiiU Pro Controller.)

9:37 talks about online threats going to the US supreme court

As you all probably know, 90% of what is stated as fact in this is just flat incorrect, and the other 10% is true but portrayed in a way that makes it anti-GG when in reality it is neutral information at best. I thought the part where they were using a WiiU controller to play GTAV was particularly special, though.
Here is the article in question, sporting a stellar like rating.

Spread this pomegranate like wildfire. Before you pass it off as some "conspiracy" thing, essentially it's just contact information of people actually participating in the IGDA (indie awards) this year, and just presenting them information about how in the past there have been MAJOR corruption within. They are free to participate, we aren't discouraging it, we're just making them aware of the environment they are going into. Most of all, ask about their games.

Thanks
