In August of 2014 a disgruntled ex-boyfriend of a female game designer posted a vicious diatribe on the net accusing her and the gaming media of corruption. This launched a culture war in the gaming community that played out on Twitter and elsewhere under the rubric #Gamergate. This paper will present key results from the study of the over 11 million tweets gathered.
