GamerGate Ask Me Anything

[TachyonBlue]

Thank you to the Apolyton community and moderators for your questions and for allowing me to host this AMA here! If you have any additional questions about the project, please consider checking out one of my additional upcoming AMAs or sending me a question on Kickstarter. I hope you decide to back the campaign to secure your copies of these beautiful books and show the world the true story of GamerGate!

Gamergate derives from the Greek words γάμος (gámos) and ἐργάτης (ergátēs) and means 'married worker'. It was coined in 1983 by geneticist William Louis Brown^[1] and was first used in scientific literature by entomologists Christian Peeters and Robin Crewe in a 1984 paper published in Naturwissenschaften.^[2] The definition typically found in entomological dictionaries is 'mated, egg-laying worker',^[3][4] and is drawn from the glossary of Bert Hölldobler and E. O. Wilson's 1990 book, The Ants.^[3]

Very informative

Isn't Gamergate like a decade old now?

I follow the debate/politics sphere, and it seems that many of the stars of Gamergate era have moved on (JonTron) or changed political sides (Briana Wu).

What do you think about where the 'stars' (let's include Sargon)) went after Gamersgate ended?

Wasn't the Mass Effect 3 ending debacle a formative online outrage gamer-led campaign that predated GamerGate anyway?
