Gamergate, a significant social movement and anti-feminist harassment campaign, is examined in-depth, feminist, and sociological fashion in this work. Gamergate serves as a clear illustration of both how a contemporary anti-feminist backlash is carried out and how feminists in the digital age react to it. The book explores the connections between Gamergate and the larger Men's Rights Activism (MRA) political movement, examining men's concerns about what they perceive as the erosion of male privilege, their conflation of privilege with rights, and their use of social media to harass and attack women as a reaction to their perceived oppression. The author also analyzes the online tactics used by feminists to counter this backlash, how social media is used to create a feminist movement, the efficacy of these online strategies, and the similarities between these actions and those of previous waves of feminism. Finally, the author reflects on what has changed with regard to MRA, online harassment, and digital feminism after the peak of Gamergate.
This book will be of interest to scholars in Gender Studies, Sociology, and Media Studies.
