Participation in GamerGate & GameJournoPros Exposé
Before the events of GamerGate, Yiannopoulos had previously expressed disinterest and distaste towards video games and gamers. Yet upon bearing witness to the unprofessional behavior of gaming journalists in response to the Zoe Quinn Scandal, Yiannopoulos sympathized with gamers and later proposed a truce upon discovering that he and GamerGate supporters had a lot in common, ideologically. Likely motivated by his opposition to the extreme-left views that gaming journalists and GamerGate opponents championed, Yiannopoulos became involved with GamerGate and published several articles in support of them.

On September 17, 2014, with the aid of an anonymous leaker, Yiannopoulos exposed the GameJournoPros mailing list to the public eye on Breitbart. The exposure of the mailing list was a defining moment for GamerGate, as it provided evidence of the long-suspected collusion between members of the gaming media.
