This se llects LGBTQ vio game ntent, talogg gam or game seri and tegorizg relevant material by actns, artifacts, characters, lotns, relatnships, tras, and more (cludg stanc of homophobia or transphobia found gam). One of the thgs I am most proud of om this project, for example, is helpg get playable versns of Caper the Castro (1989) and GayBla (1993) up on the Inter Archive. 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).

How do the llectn ntend wh homophobia, transphobia, and other harmful language prent gam? When there is homophobia or transphobia a game, I have largely tried to make a standalone entry and/or e our taggg functn to show that has homophobic or transphobic ntent.
