I am grateful for femfreq<\/a>’s perseverance. I will continue to attempt to be a better ally.<\/p>\n

Ever since I began my Tropes vs Women in Video Games<\/a> project, two and a half years ago, I\u2019ve been harassed on a daily basis by irate gamers angry at my critiques of sexism in video games. It can sometimes be difficult to effectively communicate just how bad this sustained intimidation campaign really is. So I\u2019ve taken the liberty of collecting a week\u2019s worth of hateful messages sent to me on Twitter. The following tweets were directed at my @femfreq account<\/a> between 1\/20\/15 and 1\/26\/15.<\/p>\n

Content warning for misogyny, gendered insults, victim blaming, incitement to suicide, sexual violence, rape and death threats.<\/em><\/p>\n
