The Anita Sarkeesian Slay the Spire 2 Credit Controversy refers to online backlash over Anita Sarkeesian being credited as a consultant in the 2026 video game Slay the Spire 2. Sarkeesian is a feminist blogger and commentator known as the founder of Feminist Frequency, which analyzes pop culture through and social norms through a feminist lens. In May 2026, after Slay the Spire 2 had already sold millions of copies, her inclusion in the game's credits as a consultant went viral, inspiring online backlash and review bombing on the game's Steam page. Criticisms of Sarkeesian stem from a series of videos she made in 2013 about sexism in video games that analyze female characters in video games and how they're portrayed.
