GamerGate Movement and Online Harassment of Feminist Critics

Summary

In August 2014, the #GamerGate movement emerged, leading to widespread online harassment and death threats against feminist critics such as Anita Sarkeesian and indie game developer Zoe Quinn. The movement was sparked by a blog post from Eron Gjoni about his breakup with Quinn, which led to coordinated online attacks. The harassment occurred across multiple platforms including Twitter, 4chan, IRC, and others.
