After 15 years, feminist media criticism and nonprofit organization Feminist Frequency, founded by Anita Sarkeesian, is closing down. The Games and Online Harassment Hotline, their largest project, will end in September, while the rest of the organization will conclude its work by the end of 2023. Sarkeesian cited exhaustion and burnout as reasons for the closure. However, the director of the Hotline, Jae Lin, will maintain ReSpec, an accountability support space, and the Hotline website will remain as a resource hub. The Feminist Frequency podcast will continue, and past episodes will remain available. Feminist Frequency has made significant contributions to the industry, including video series like Tropes vs. Women and Ordinary Women: Daring to Defy History.
