November AMA

Hey James and Nick, thank you so much for your insightful and thought-provoking videos. Every upload sparks immense joy! I'm so happy you deconstructed the gayming agenda, that was a great watch. I was wondering if you are planning to cover queerness in modern music in the future? And as a follow-up - do you have any favourite queer musicians? Thanks guys!

Just found your videos on YouTube and really really enjoyed your work! I admittedly signed up to ask you about the fox show 9-1-1 in regards to queer baiting and/or non-toxic male emotional relationships considering it’s pretty queer friendly, leaning more toward the female-gaze aesthetic (and I see why so many Teen Wolf fans fled to it) but more so in how they’ve written the characters of Buck, Eddie, and Eddie’s son Chris. Any thoughts you had on that show would be fascinating:) Thanks for your hard work!!

Hey, I watched your latest video (it was great as always), but since you mostly focused on player choice when it comes to representation in video games, there is definitely more you can be do with the general topic (LGBTQ+ in video games). One idea I am particular fond of is focusing on coded leads. The one's I hear brought up most often are Lara Croft (Tomb Raider), Ike (Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance and Radiant Dawn) and Snake (Metal Gear). I think this would be an interesting idea for a video. What do you think? I know you have had a lot going on as of late, so I would understand you not wanting to do it, but maybe keep it in the back of your mind. Thank you.

Did/do you enjoy rewatching Luca despite the lack of in-text (i.e. not subtextual) queerness?

Nicholas Bloom

Shallow but hopefully fun: What are you and Nick's favorite Hades builds? Like, weapons, boons, or combinations thereof that you really love getting? and/or Do you have a story about a particularly lucky or unlucky Hades run you had?

Truth be told, I don't think people outside of fanfiction or just, you know, real life, are ready to see/experiences that the non straight community has to go through.

Hi there James! So... Eternals. Have you had a chance to see and it and what are your thoughts? Also, following on from that, it would be great to hear you reflect upon heteronormative queer characters in so much tv and movies—are mainstream media audiences/studios ready for realistic queer characters? Thanks as always. Marty
