Tropes v. Women in Video Gamesignited discourse around the portrayal of women in games and the treatment of women in and around the industry. It also served as a lightning rod for controversy and endless harassment of herself and many other women in the industry. Feminist Frequency would go on to serve as a non-profit organization and media outlet promoting diversity while raising awareness of sexism and discrimination in the games industry.
I’m hoping that it will be valuable to share the reality of the bone-deep burnout that comes from consistently saying yes to the growth of Feminist Frequency, often at the expense of protecting my personal boundaries, and the workload of our team.
