Message: [QUOTE="tropicalavera, post: 75321, member: 143"] I could disassemble this comment but I would just be explaining the book?? If you are worried that the author is claiming videogames are explicitly queer then ig don't worry? It's not really doing GAY ROPE style close readings of embedded elements within the games discussed - but rather applying queer theory to game studies approaches and conversations regarding play - the suggestion is that play is inherently queer. Which it is? (and again, dw - not queer as in gay but queer as in [I]against-the-grain - [/I]Bo is not out here saying the grasshopper was trans (basedbasedbased) but that the grasshopper is maybe better understood through a lense of queer theory). It absolutely might NOT be the text for you though - and that's okay! You can find some of Bo's standalone essays via scholar and see if you vibe with their shtick. OTHERWISE, there's plenty of other cool game studies texts out there! [/QUOTE]
