I have written about WAM! (Women, Action, and the Media) in the past. But i had no idea that WAM! had done a “harassment on Twitter analysis” on #GamerGate. But it´s true. In fact, you can read that analysis right now if you want too. As it´s available for everyone to read online for free. That´s great right? Well, most people would welcome that kind of analysis.

As #GamerGate has been blamed for a lot of things (mainly harassment on Twitter) since August last year. But even so, there has been very few in-deep analysis on #GamerGate´s harassment´s (on Twitter for example). So i found it to be somewhat odd that some people complained to WAM! that their analysis of #GamerGate was not correct.

I don´t think WAM! would show any fake numbers or statistics to be honest. I mean, what would they gain from that?

As they just couldn´t accept (coop with) the data and statics that WAM! presented in their #GamerGate analysis (probably because the analysis speaks more for than it speaks against #GamerGate). I see it like this though. The more people who start to do #GamerGate analysis the better. As there´s a huge difference between make believe and actual statics, numbers, evidence and facts.

This is the #GamerGate analysis by Women, action, and the media.

And if you wonder what kind of institution WAM! would be. Then this is how they describe themselves on the WAM! homepage:

“WAM! is an independent North American nonprofit dedicated to building a robust, effective, inclusive movement for gender justice in media. We hope you’ll join us!” – WAM!

So there you have it. So what do you think about WAM´s #GamerGate analysis? Is it accurate? Or is false?
