So I'm writing about #GG... Leader 12/09/2015 (Wed) 02:59:51 Id: b539c9 No. 308328
Hey /gghq/, long story short is I'm doing a run-down of the first year of GamerGate for the final project of one of my classes. Everything's going alright so far, and the professor is on board with the idea but I'm having trouble finding info on GG after May 2015 where the Gamergate Wiki just stops. I'd rather not use solely the Ghazi wiki as a source for four whole months, even if I've used it for a few pieces of info. I admittedly stopped paying total attention to #GG around the time the SVU episode aired but that's my bad. Basically aside from ##GGinDC, DeepFreeze and SWJ Airplay, I need a refresher on the big happenings between May and August. Images and Links preferred, but a basic rundown works too.
(Various dates) Michael Koretzky of SPJ gives Gamergate a hearing, anti-GG disrupts attempts to communicate with him over Twitter, and someone calls in a bomb threat against the SPJ when they eventually hold a GG panel May 1: Bomb threat at Washington DC gamergate meetup May 6: Bonegolem launches Deep Freeze May 12/16: Destructoid requires writers to disclose Kickstarter relationships May 13: WAM / Berkman report on "harassment" finds fewer than 1% of GGers engaged in harassment by their definition, still concludes that GG was about harassment. May 20: Twitter partners with Crash Override May 26: Ian Miles Chong switches sides
Late May / June 4: FTC revises guidelines on affiliate linking June 10 and onward: Reddit bans FatPeopleHate and other "harassment" subs on shaky grounds and with no evidence. KotakuInAction gains users from covering the news. June 16: Gilles Matouba responds to criticism of his use of the the phrase "Mechanical Apartheid" to describe the setting of a Deus Ex game. The surrounding events convince Mark Kern to join the #Gamergate campaign. June 26: "Generaal" Lucas Harskamp gets a hearing with thee Dutch Council for Journalistic Ethics but nothing seems to have come from it. June 29 - ???: Milo publishes a 3-part investigative series into Randi Harper.
July 2: Randi Harper publishes an open letter to ICANN. The list of signatories exposes connections that were not known before, or only theorized. July 16-20: Upheaval at Gawker leading to resignations after they publish a troll's story based on fabricated evidence July 22 onward: O'Reilly's OSCON adopts Randi Harper's blockbot and blocks anyone who complains about it. Meredith Patterson starts speaking out against this censorship. July 23/28: The FBI rejects a FOIA request for information about Gamergate due to an ongoing open investigation. July 30: Github bans the software WebM For Retards July-August: KnowYourMeme locks the comments on its Gamergate article for a week and moves Gamergate discussion to its forums. The amount of Gamergate discussion dives sharply.
Aug 10: Gratipay bans Tech Raptor because "You identify with the #GamerGate/anti-#GamerGate conflict, and that clashes too strongly with our own brand identity." Aug 14 or earlier: Google removes 8chan from its search results Aug 15: Koretzsky's SPJ event happens and is disrupted by bomb threats August: The media starts blaming Gamergate for the Sad Puppies campaign
Wasn't it around that time when Crash Override's timer counted down to zero, revealing that 1. it clock was timed to people's computer clocks, and 2. there was nothing planned for it, before resetting?

>>308347 >>308352 >>308353 >>308354 This works pretty darn good as a starting point. I'll probably cut some of that stuff out (Like the WebM For Retards thing) since I'm leaning more towards the representation of GamerGate in the news.

>>308378 For news representation just look at the Gamers are Dead and the Sep 2014 blitz: HuffingtonPost live talks, MSNBC, Al Jazeera and BBC interviews with the Whos and the Pakman interviews.
There is also the organization of the SPJ awards for ethical games journalism. I don't remember the name they chose for it.
