Award-winning video-essayist Anita Sarkeesian has returned with a new video series on Queer Tropes in Video Games. The three-part miniseries examines the depiction of queer people in games, much like Tropes Vs. Women in Video Games looked at the representation of women in games.
Sarkeesian has never shied from controversy, and her new series will likely trigger strong reactions again. She was subjected to considerable harassment including death threats and smear campaigns against her after the debut of the first series in 2013.
The series moves from criticism in gaming’s early years to the progress of the depiction of LGBTQ people in more recent games. You can check it out below.
