Harassment

This page is primarily dedicated to cataloging harassment directed at various GamerGate supporters by those who oppose GamerGate. Examples include death threats, doxing, among other forms of harassment. It is also used as a deflection argument: When rebuttals or criticism is levied, anti-GamerGate supporters often use 'harassment' as the reasoning behind the discrepancy or critique, when in reality, they did not directly respond to said criticism.
