Feminist Frequency is closing down after 15 years

Anita Sarkeesian announced today that Feminist Frequency, the nonprofit that launched the famous “Tropes vs Women in Games” YouTube series and the Games and Online Harassment Hotline, is shutting down this year. Its services will wind down within the next few months, with its final annual report coming early next year.

Sarkeesian said in a statement, “I started this project to fill a need that was missing in the media criticism and video games space. Over the past decade and a half, along with an invaluable team of staff members and industry partners, we’ve accomplished so much to be proud of. Feminist Frequency grew into something I never could have anticipated when it began all those years ago.”
