      "ANITA IS A SCAM ARTIST!" shout the men whose Patreons pull in $$$$because they provide the valuable service of telling the misogynistic masses of self-identified "gamers" who have never seriously engaged with the ideas in a feminist analysis of video games what they want to hear

      Because of the big Polygon profile, there are A LOT of people right now "dancing on the grave" (lol) of Feminist Frequency and declaring some kind of "victory." These people, it seems to me, honestly bought into their own fiction that FF's aims were to institute some sort of...

      oppressive new feminist order in which the world--or at least the world of video games--would be remade as something utterly unrecognizable to its existing self, in which their worst nightmares of an end to all video game boobage would come to pass...

          ...or, IDK, whatever the fuck they actually thought we were fighting for. The truth is that, of course, by any reasonable measure (and certainly by our own), Tropes was MASSIVELY successful. We've seen huge leaps in terms of female game characters and stories...

          ...in recent years, and in terms of the way people think about and talk about these things. Of course FF/Tropes can't take all the credit for that, nor would we want to, but I think it's safe to say that it's been an essential part of the conversation.

          I mean, yes, of course sexism remains pervasive in gaming, as it does in our patriarchal culture at large. THAT'S PART OF THE DEAL WITH ACTIVISM! You push for the world you want to create, knowing that the change that you actually help bring about will be incremental at best,...

          ...just another step in the ongoing generational battle, building on the work that those before you have done, and giving whatever leg up you can to those who will come next.

          But when these people say "We won, you lost!" it's like, umm...no. We kicked fucking ass. We succeeded as well as we could have ever possibly hoped.

          It's also interesting to observe that the very same people who have for years spouted utter nonsense about FF's work being some sort of lucrative cash grab scam are now tweeting hashtag-GetWokeGoBroke and saying "lol of course they ran out of money."

          There's absolutely no consistency whatsoever, no core beliefs other than just absolutely hating, on principle, the push for better representations, more thoughtful conversations, and more inclusivity in general in video game culture.

          News flash, we never ever did this work to get rich, we did it and continue to do it because we know it's fucking essential. You're lucky if you can even pay the rent for a little while doing work that doesn't compromise your moral convictions, provided you actually have any.
