#GamerGate was a controversial movement that began in 2014, primarily focused on issues of ethics in video game journalism. It started when a former partner of game developer Zoë Quinn published a blog post alleging unethical relationships between journalists and game developers, which sparked widespread debate about transparency and integrity in the gaming industry. However, the movement quickly escalated into a broader culture war, with many participants targeting women and marginalized groups in gaming. This led to significant discussions about sexism, harassment, and the representation of women in gaming, involving figures like Anita Sarkeesian and Brianna Wu.
