Gamergate

Level 4 – Charter Web

“Gamergate” was a highly controversial and widely publicized movement that began in 2014, ostensibly concerned with ethics in video game journalism, but it quickly became associated with issues of sexism, harassment, and culture wars within the gaming community. Conspiracy theorists argue that Gamergate was either orchestrated or hijacked by external forces—whether government agencies, corporate interests, or shadowy organizations—to create division and discord among the public, particularly among younger, tech-savvy demographics. While many view Gamergate as a chaotic and organic movement, others suggest it was a deliberate operation to distract or destabilize certain communities. Was Gamergate just a chaotic clash of opinions, or was it something more carefully engineered?
