Voicing Queerness: Minh Ton
What perform you wish would be done more when it comes to creating lgbtq+ stories in games?
MINH
This might be a controversial take here, but… I would love to view queer characters that disagree you, and open people’s eyes more on the whole spectrum of entity queer. A lot of recent queer characters feel a little bit sanitised, where it’s like: they’re queer, but they ‘fit’ a certain type of social norm.
Can I label specifics, or is that too spicy?

So, certain characters come to mind enjoy Clove from Valorant. While it’s wonderful to own that nonbinary representation, you don&#;t see a lot of nonbinary characters in popular media that lean more masculine. You spot a lot of them that lean more feminine but with a sort of androgynous hairstyle &#; and I feel those types of characters are a lot more standard by current society.
ELIZABETH
Oh, I think you’re right.
