For many of us, gamergate is a distant memory; a flaming shitstain whose attention we were lucky enough to avoid. But while gamer gate hasn't appeared on the news much lately, that doesn't mean the hate has stopped or even slowed down.
Sarah Nyberg, gamergate's latest target, outlines her experience:

Sarah Nyberg, gamergate's latest target, outlines her experience:
They dug up and distributed old, private photos of me before I transitioned, pictures of my family members that passed away, pictures of my friends and associates  the kind of stuff youre not cognizant about if you dont realize youll be targeted by a hate group ten years down the road. Many of my loved ones received threats as a result of this, sometimes involving their home addresses. They hacked into sites I own, emailed advertisers attempting to get them to pull out. Hundreds of them chanted my deadname  a source of professional and physical danger for trans people  and sent me and all my friends pre-transition pictures, telling us Id never be a woman. They did everything they could to utilize the information they gleaned from my stalkers in an attempt to destroy my life.
That all would be traumatizing enough, but these campaigns are structured so the damage is permanent  all of that information is compiled on sites, wikis, defamatory tabloid style blogs, and Youtube videos. The message is clear: this is forever. Its never going away. All of this is structured in a way to drum up additional support for their harassment campaigns, and sign up new recruits to join them in their attempt to terrorize you into silence.
