HEY LOOK so I was very humbled to be asked to talk to Fresh Out of Tokens about asexuality in gaming (and asexuality in pop culture in general) and the episode went live today, woo!
Listen to me trying to sound all professional and educated (actually you SHOULD listen, because it’s a great podcast. And a great topic. Go listen)
Really wonderful discussion! Some reading for you, once you’re done listening:
- “Coming Up Aces: The need for Better Asexual Representation in Games”
- “Asexuality & Cole’s Humanity in the ‘Dragon Age’ Trespasser DLC”
Let’s always, always make an effort to listen to the voices in this community who are directly affected by the representation (or lack thereof) found in games. 🙏
I’m IMMENSELY grateful for that second article, I was linked to it a few days ago, and it says absolutely everything I would have said had we recorded after the Trespasser DLC had dropped (as it was, we recorded all the way back in August, so I had no idea that my pleasant optimism about Cole was about to be shattered)
I retweeted the article, but for those of you who don’t follow my twitter, the article about Cole in Trespasser is absolutely necessary reading. Thanks Femhype!
