Video Games

Massive multiplayer online games, played by millions, are creating cutting-edge ways to celebrate Pride while fighting bigotry.

It’s actually somewhat surprising that the game didn’t already include these features before now, seeing as it’s one of the most LGBTQ-inclusive video games of all time.

Players can now create trans characters in the game. But do they want to buy a game that J.K. Rowling will profit from?

Mass Effect was already a progressive video game for its time in terms of LGBTQ characters. But execs nixed further representation for “a more traditional kind of vector” due to FOX News.

Even after working with GLAAD, a Warner Bros. executive feels that he “may not agree” with J.K. Rowling’s anti-trans rhetoric, but “she’s entitled to express” them.

Fans are celebrating the beaver character, who talks lovingly about his male partner.

The players think that they were the targets of an anti-gay harassment campaign.

“If you’re underaged, or just an adult who wants to play a non-sexual game with a gay story, there are not a lot of options out there. I want to change that.”

New York’s LGBTQ history-laden West Village has never looked quite the same.

If you choose to be trans or a person of color, the difficulty level of the game goes up.
