The Fine Young Capitalists
The Fine Young Capitalists (commonly abbreviated as TFYC) is a self-described radical feminist group〔 set up to organize production initiatives for underrepresented labor in the media industry. Their first project was to facilitate the development of a video game by throwing a women-only game design contest, whereby five nominees would offer proposals and the winner would see their game developed and released through Steam. The winning entry, ''Afterlife Empire'', was designed and written by Danielle Maiorino, and was released on August 21, 2015.
The group became associated with the Gamergate controversy after independent game developer Zoë Quinn criticised the group’s women-only game design contest. 4chan users began providing significant financial backing for the project and collaborated with TFYC to create promotional videos on female game developers. During the group's fundraising efforts, TFYC's Indiegogo account was hacked and the campaign briefly shut down. After 4chan users donated over to the Indiegogo campaign, they created Vivian James, a character who was designed to appear like an ordinary female gamer.
==History==
The Fine Young Capitalists is a radical feminist group founded by Matthew Rappard〔 and based in Toronto. In an interview with APGNation, Rappard said that the mission of the group was to create media with underrepresented labor and demographics for funding non-profit organizations. Rappard noted that the inspiration from the group came from the underused ideas due to a lack of interest from business communities, and the financial cost of hiring experienced developers to develop an idea for a video game. The group was also skeptical of education-only projects, opining that these projects could not result in finished video games. The group noted that the lack of interest of game development or programming by women mostly comes from socialization, noting that women were in no way less capable than men in computing fields. The group attempts to increase awareness of the men that support women, and noted that they accept donations from people of different backgrounds, by focusing on the game itself instead of the feminist ideology.〔
