ABSTRACT

The trail to Gamer Gate went quiet for a couple of months, until Rock, Paper, Shotgun posted a video on its YouTube account at the end of the Game Developers Conference (GDC) in San Francisco. Social justice warriors (SJW) is a term that is often used with contempt in a community that is now known as the Gamer Gate community, a group of gamers who want to rid the gaming industry of questions related to gender, race, and inequality. One method for grabbing images and text from the Internet and social media is to use the screen capture function that is available on computers, tablets, and phones. The world of gaming is now heavily intertwined with the anonymous world of social media and the Internet. Gjoni is also a game developer and was very aware of Quinn's struggles with Depression Quest, GAME_JAM, and TFYC.
