In this week’s episode, the guys discuss a hot-button issue in today’s gaming culture. Using Manveer Heir’s talk at GDC as a spring board, Cameron, James, and Delvin discuss misogony, racism and homophobia in video games. We discuss both positive and negative examples of characters and story-telling devices and the mentality behind them. As well, we talk about how the industry can move forward.

**Note: This episode was recorded shortly before Nintendo’s ill-received statement and subsequent apology regarding gay options in Tomodachi Life. As such, we did not get to discuss it, but will be sure to do so in a future episode.
