really great video! i absolutely love bg3 and the way they implement queerness into the game. i feel that it being so normalized is one of the best parts. never is the game making a comment about a character’s queerness. queer people just exist and that normalization goes a long way to shift societal perceptions.
also, that queer research into video games sounds super interesting! i didn’t know game development degrees that involved research existed, but that’s so cool. i am heading into grad school next year and will be doing psych research about queer/trans people :) i always love seeing queer research. awesome video!!
