Queer Tropes

The follow-up to our landmark series Tropes VS. Women in Video Games, this three-episode miniseries brings Feminist Frequency’s critical feminist lens to bear on the harmful ways in which video games have often presented queer and trans identities as abnormal or even inherently evil, all while working to make straight and cisgender identities appear normal and virtuous in comparison. We look closely at the history of homophobia and transphobia in games, the evolution of portrayals of gay relationships, and the troubling ways in which game villains have often been queer coded.
