In 2012 she started a Kickstarter campaign to help her create a new series entitled \u201cTropes vs. Women in Video Games\u201d and experienced harsh online harassment from some members of the gaming community. This backlash furthered her message to include an exploration of the overwhelming amounts of online sexual harassment of female identifying gamers. In 2012 Anita was a speaker at the TEDxWomen conference where she discussed online sexual harassment and how influential it is in the online world.
