A fake word trying to paint negative backlash as unjust harassment.

Not one mention in that article of the "hate campaign" Sweet Baby raised against the Steam user who created that list.

"Hate campaigns" are usually when the general audience disagree or complain at an entity for how they've handled something or for their actions.

It almost always goes one way too; If its against "the message" then it'll also get classed as a hate campaign if it gets enough traction. But this doesn't apply in the other direction.

An example of their definition of a "hate campaign" is this whole SBI related garbage. So the CEO's and employees of SBI have been complaining that they've been targeted for harassment and are now actively getting their gaming outlet shills to say theres a hate campaign against them (When realistically its most likely a whole lot of pent up anger from gamers about the part they've played in ruining franchises) BUT- It isn't a Hate campaign against Kabrutus and his Steam curator group because he's helping highlight the issue; Even though by their definition it would be considered harassment.

From my position, a actual "Hate Campaign" would be an organized attempt to (literally) harass a target with hate mail to the point that they are actually restricted from operating a normal life. It can be very closely related to a "Smear Campaign" which is explicitly defamatory.

So for example, back in the 90's, if something turned into a media circus, it's possible that the target of the reporting could be getting thousands of letters every day, thousands of phone calls every day, and even hourly visitors. Double the level of danger if most of those callers are saying shit like "I'll find you and I'll kill you". If your mail can't be delivered properly, then you can't respond to your normal bills and communications. If people won't stop calling you on the old land lines, it means you can't even make calls out of your home. If people keep coming to your door at literally all hours, you can genuinely be made to feel unsafe.

This did occasionally happen, but it was rarely organized. When it was, it was typically organized by the media. Tonya Harding is one that sticks out to me because she was locked in an apartment complex. The news basically doxed her location and it allowed people to start doing all of the above. The phone didn't stop ringing at all hours until she pulled it out of the wall. The media & papperazi surrounded her complex for days, to the point it filled out the parking lot. They then contacted and harassed the property owner; who decided that she needed to leave, and walked to the room and basically asked her to leave. She didn't feel like it was safe to come out, because of the baying journalist mob that was screaming at her through the doors and windows standing a foot or two behind the apartment manager. Then, one of them came up with the idea to call a tow-truck company and have her car towed away so that they could get pictures of her. They did exactly that, and got pictures of her basically in a disheveled state chasing after her car, while they all took billions of pictures of her, screamed at her, and then ran with the headline that she was attacking journalists because she was clearly insane.

She, obviously, Tonya Harding committed battery, but it kind of shows you the lengths that the media is willing to go. Fundamentally, they wanted pictures of her, and wanted to construct a narrative about her, so they sent out a journalist lynch mob to use any mechanism to get that. Not only that, but when you look into it, you'll see that most lynchings and race riots seem to also be directly tied to media actions. You don't hate journalists enough.

It means "something gay commies don't like."

It's what communists say is going on when they want to condemn something their enemies are doing in a way that normal people will respond to at a surface level.

Anything that goes against the narrative, baby

A hate campaign is any group of people who don't bend the knee to the left.

A hate campaign is originally developed someone that simply put a few things together and discovered something a leftist is doing. Once exposed, it gains some traction, more people see and hear about it. Suddenly they get harrassed into the ground by every friend and outlet of the discovered leftist, who lies about the things exposed.

Nevermind what was exposed, you just have to believe all the liars who cover for each other, and definitely are telling the truth this time. Don't look into it any further, you'll just see more and more connections, and that everyone is a vile sack of rotting flesh hiding behind a mask of tolerance and acceptance.

Remember that even the wikileaks founder said we were on to something during GG, and that it goes all the way to the top.

Anything which gains traction against leftist narratives.

It's anything your average shitheel liberal doesn't like. So in current year, everything.

Obviously a hate campaign is based on hate facts. A hate fact is any fact inconvenient to the narrative.

they should be on their knees, ugly crying, thanking us for keeping it at words.

the phrase implies a campaign of specific and unrelenting harassment, where people go out of their way to bully the target unreasonably.

Of course, the reality is that people learned that SBI exists and weren't happy about what they do. SBI keeps trying to do damage control, and people keep responding to their nonsense. it would have all just blown over until people posted them essentially pulling off a protection racket, and now all of a sudden they need the journalist class to run interference for them because they might actually face legal action.

A hate campaign is any popular sentiment that wokeydokes find disagreeable.
