We also discuss the Big Question this episode which is from a listener:
“Do games do provide enough exploration of differing sexual orientations?
– Do we see enough LGBT characters, do games give a voice to LGBT society at all, do games provide an appropriate platform for expressing sexuality and if so which games?”
Which provides for a pretty significant discussion, so thanks!
We welcome our two new folks, Indra and Charlotte, plus all of the usual banter and guff you know and love from the team.
