The '''Gamergate controversy''' began in August 2014 and concerns [[misogyny]] and [[harassment]] in [[video game culture]]. Many supporters of the self-described Gamergate movement (sometimes referred to as the [[hashtag]] ''#gamergate'') say that they are concerned about ethical issues in [[video game journalism]]. Commentators and critics have said that the movement is rooted in a [[culture war]] against women and the diversification of gaming culture.
