Following 4 seasons of acting as a pop culture critic on Youtube, on May 17th, 2012, Anita Sarkeesian announced her Kickstarter for the Tropes vs. Women in Video Games, a venture intended to garner $6,000 to improve her equipment and provide more time to research the topics. After barely a month she had received backing in excess of $150,000 by June 16th the same year. Following her Kickstarter she promised to extend the video series and create classroom curriculum to accompany it.
April 24 2014, and she has published three videos on a single topic of the twelve topics she has planned to cover, and each are a rehash of poor research and planning. So far she has appeared more in news than she has in her own video series. Of her visible expenses, she spent less than $5,000 on her content.
