The Games And Online Harassment Hotline is a new service for anyone in the games industry to use if they want to talk to someone about abuse, burnout, depression, or other issues they might be facing. It’s free and anonymous, and it’s designed to encourage people to seek help when they need it. Headed by Feminist Frequency‘s Anita Sarkeesian, the idea for the hotline was born during the #MeToo movement the games industry experienced in August last year. The movement has continued in 2020, most prominently in accusations about Ubisoft’s company culture.
“When we started seeing this in August many of us were like, ‘okay, we’ve got to do something about it’,” Sarkeesian tells me.
