Adrienne Shaw, documents the history of lbian, gay, bisexual, transgenr, and queer ntent gam.

The ntent we nsir n clu gay bars, potns that change your character’s genr, homophobic or transphobic jok, player created mods (modifitns), or hidn easter eggs (ntent that is buried somewhere for players to disver).
Ined, a project I did 2007, a lot of gaymers I spoke to felt that gamg spac were homophobic but that gay male culture particular was not very geek/game iendly. How do the llectn ntend wh homophobia, transphobia, and other harmful language prent gam?
