As per the warning on the real FitGirl site, this is a fake, "made to infect you with malware, show you tons of ads and get your money as donations." The claim that the domain is a malware trap appears to be supported by anti-malware software MalwareBytes, which blocks the platform while warning of 'trojan'. The big question is why this domain (and the several others that appear following a basic 'FitGirl' search) are promoted to the top spots by Google. }}

FitGirl, the creator of the site, does not crack games; instead, she uses existing game installers or pirated game files like releases from the warez scene and repack them to a significantly smaller download size. The repacked games, usually limited to Microsoft Windows, are distributed using file hosting services and BitTorrent. They are generally accompanied during installation by the song "Tsuki Sayu Yoru" by Hiromitsu Agatsuma.{{cite web |title=Google Promotes Pirate Videogame Repacker 'FitGirl' to 'Musical Artist' Status * TorrentFreak |url=https://torrentfreak.com/google-promotes-pirate-videogame-repacker-fitgirl-to-musical-artist-status-200609/ |language=en}}
