More Than Just a Combo of Slaps? Representations and Experiences of LGBT Gamers On and Beyond the Screen

Ben Light's paper examines how lesbian, gay, bisexual, and trans (LGBT) themes and characters appear in digital games, and how LGBT gamers experience gaming spaces both on and beyond the screen.

  • Ben Light's paper addresses a gap in game studies: the sexuality of players has received far less scholarly attention than gender, and LGBT themes in games are examined through how they are engaged with by players and developers.
  • The paper identifies three distinct modes of LGBT content engagement: socially exclusive (e.g., profile banning on the Xbox Live community), socially inclusive (e.g., the possibility of same-sex marriage in Temple of Elemental Evil), and instrumental (e.g., sexualized lesbian characters in Fear Effect 2 aimed at male players).
  • LGBT-identifying characters appear in both peripheral and integral roles, sometimes in unexpected titles, and many of their sexual identities are inferred or labelled by players and developers, leaving their status contested.
