If this reaches 1 note, I will draw a frog.

If this reaches 10 notes, I will draw a bigger frog.

You can figure out the math from there

Some frogs for your efforts

Bigger

Gonna have to reach 1,000 for the next frog friendo

We’re not gonna reach 10,000 at this rate

219 until next frog

:3

more. frogs. now

122 until next frog

The mighty building frog could scream out at any second, ending the lives of millions.

Reach 10k for next frog

If we reach 100 million notes (which we won’t), I’ll reveal who I’m the alt account of.

Shame, we won’t even reach 10k it seems.

Next frog shall remain a mystery.

NOOOOO I AWAIT FROGAGEDDON

Unless this post gets crazy popular again, whether by another blaze or getting noticed by the Tumblr gods, your Frogageddon shalt not pass and my hands shall remain away from the art table

Big frog lurks in the oceans

Reach 100k for next frog.

Disclaimer: I like Anita Sarkeesian.

But also, I just saw a writeup of a Youtuber whose content has come a long way from his Gamergate days, and to explain that, the wiki says, “Anita Sarkeesian is a radical feminist who created a webseries about sexist tropes in video games”

AHAHAHAHAHA ANITA SARKEESIAN, RADICAL FEMINIST

HOO HEE EXCUSE ME THAT’S A GOOD ONE

Radical feminist. Feminist extremist. Anita Sarkeesian.

Anita Sarkeesian did her Master’s Thesis in Social and Political Thought in 2010 on the trope of the “Strong Woman” in fantasy and science fiction TV shows, and produced Tropes vs Women, a series of online videos breaking down her work in a way that was accessible to a lay audience. She found a ready audience in geek feminist circles, since this was exactly the kind of thing we wanted and needed right then.

Tropes vs Women was extremely bog-standard cultural critique, what you’d find expressed in discussion between scholars of literary theory or media analysis anywhere, and exactly what 99% of feminists were saying at the time. It certainly talked about patriarchy as the complex system of sexism fused into our cultural matrix, so it’s not like it wasn’t radical feminism from that viewpoint, but it wasn’t “radical” by way of being especially militant. Sarkeesian frequently pointed out how individual occurrences of a trope weren’t harmful in themselves, but that a media landscape completely saturated with only that trope and nothing but that trope is, in the aggregate, a big feminist issue.

And the internet

HAAAAAAAATED

her for it.

Like, geek feminists got flak a lot anyway, especially when we wanted things like properly enforced policies against sexual harassment at science fiction conventions. And yeah, there totally were toxic keyboard warriors who said stuff about all men being scum – but Sarkeesian wasn’t one of them.

It’s probably because of her succinct, matter-of-fact, “this is not a debated issue, feminists have decades of theory and research to back this point up, sources abound if you google for thirty seconds so I won’t stop to baby you through all the fundamental concepts” approach that she got such a big reach. She was calm, concise, coherent, and rational, everything feminists are told we need to be.

Unfortunately that just made her seem… attackable, I think. A good target, not actually scary or impassioned, unlikely to respond to violence with violence. The perfect kind of person to play five seconds of, and then spend the next five minutes yelling into your mic because IF ANITA IS RIGHT ABOUT VIDEO GAME SEXIST YOU MIGHT AS WELL SAY THAT EVERYTHING IS SEXIST AND SEXISM IS SYSTEMIC AND ENDEMIC TO ALL OF WESTERN CULTURE AND OTHER CULTURES TOO, WHICH IS CLEARLY RIDICULOUS, ANITA LADY BAD.

She literally spent five solid years as Enemy #1 in online geek spaces. It was completely insane. I am so sorry she had to take the brunt of it, and yet grateful that she did. She held the line and took the shit and kept doing good decent feminist work for years after, though she did admit to burnout and closed up shop on her nonprofit org Feminist Frequency in 2023. I hope to hell she’s having a good day.

But even now, more than a decade later, dudes talk about her as though she were Geek Feminist Godzilla, the biggest baddest woman in the universe, off to lay waste to downtown Video Games and cut everybody’s balls off.

When people (mostly dudes, but not all) talk like this, it’s just very funny and unintentionally revealing because of the absolute averageness of her third-wave, trans-inclusive, western-centric, intersectional feminism. It makes them look absolutely pathetic.

Because it just makes it clear that she is probably the first and last self-described feminist the speaker has ever paid attention to.
