Anita Sarkeesian was RIGHT!? The DERANGED Skeptic Hysteria around Feminist Frequency - 8 Years Later
2,598Anita Sarkeesian is one of the most infamous internet feminists. She started her online work in 2009, but rose to prominence with her YouTube video essays on Feminist Frequencey. In 2013, she made a three part series on the Damsel in Distress trope seen in video games which triggered a huge backlash from Skeptic, Atheist and gaming Youtubers. Her image was distorted to the masses and she was depicted as an uninformed political activist trying to ruin video games.
But 8 years on, does this still hold up? Was the backlash justified? Simply put: no. If Anita released her videos today no one would care. The rise of BreadTube has made this media analysis common in the YouTube space. However, the narratives and misinformations would become a key feature of Anti-SJW YouTube channels which continue to rack in millions of views until this day.
