Bye Anita, thanks for playing.

I'm surprised it was still going. It was a decent idea, I even enjoyed it at first, I found the deconstruction of some of the more tired tropes interesting. But they quickly lost me by starting to misrepresent some games, and trying to portray them as misogynistic. E.g. I still remember when they were trying to spin Hitman Absolution as female murder simulator by deliberately going after some strippers (basically random NPCs) at a bar.

God, I remember the initial shitstorm around this.

How much money did they raise in the end vs. the amount of content they actually put out, anyone know?

 

[nkarafo]

Now it's shutting down?

I thought it was dead since forever.

She can join the unemployment line with all the ex-kotaku losers.

The channel has been a walking corpse for years. Videos only get 700-1900 views on average.
A small YTber like Arch, a certified misogynist, sexist and Norwegian gets 55k views easy on his stuff.

Did they actually create anything that they said they would with the money they begged for?

 

[winjer]

Finally, some good news.
That bitch did so much harm to gaming...

That's because when you're an activist, there is no end, no matter the side. Because if you stop, the money stops coming in.

 

[OmegaSupreme]

How did their Kickstarter project come out again? Oh yeah. Fuck em. Good riddance.

 

[ssringo]

Guess the grifting funds finally ran out.

I'll wait

Whatever it is, it wasn't for the better.

DICE turned from based to ultimate cucks after her visit https://archive.is/G2U9y

Totally different vibe at the other place.

Nah, it's going to be more or less in perfect agreement.

And here I thought they were dead for years. I think a corpse produced more content than they ever did.

 

[FeralEcho]

Good day today then.

Also i just have to leave this here for a little reality check on Anita

Bye bitch!

The grift is over.

Anita Sarkeesian is tired.

It’s been more than 10 years since Sarkeesian first released Tropes vs. Women in Video Games on YouTube; it’s been 15 years since Sarkeesian’s oldest video and the start of what’s now known as Feminist Frequency. Over the years, she and her team created several groundbreaking YouTube series, hundreds of podcast episodes — done with dozens of collaborators — a games industry-focused support hotline, and a Peabody Award-winning nonprofit organization.

“I’m ending Feminist Frequency because I’m extremely burnt out,” Sarkeesian told Polygon. “I can’t vacation that off. I can’t offload that anymore.”

Western female characters got hit with the fugly stick.

 

[Guilty_AI]

I wonder how many developers went under or just gone downhill because of her.

 

[captainpat]

I wanna be happy about this but honestly the damage to the games industry is already done

 

[MiguelItUp]

Good. From their sketchy fundraiser campaign (and how they treated their backers), to their "content", I don't really know what was worse. I was never a fan of Anita ever since she obnoxiously stuck her nose into the industry/community. I remember the first time I saw her she was breaking down numerous Nintendo games and characters while talking about how they were misogynistic, etc. Immediately I was like, "Uh yeah, I don't care for this person" lmao.

 

[rofif]

She ruined a lot of gaming.
Let's hope she never surfaces again. Let her dig a hole and hide in it

Throw Zoe Quinn in there as well. (Even though she actually belongs in court, seeing that she bullied a guy into suicide)

 

[ahtlas7]

She came
She saw
She destroyed

Came to post this. Classic

That fucking bitch essentially killed a man.
When I asked for a "fair trail and some empathy because we don't know facts and the guys is dead" I was instantly PERMA BANNED from giantbomb live chat and forums. The day GB died for me. 4 years ago
