[Release Date: May 23, 2023] In this episode we explore some of the ethical issues related to kinks in video games – mostly adult ones. How can games allow us to explore kinks? What are some ethical pitfalls designers should consider? How do issues like representation and consent fit in?
Kate Gray is a games writer and journalist with a specialist interest in portrayals of sex, sexuality, and relationships in video games. She is currently working on writing for several games, including one that’s all about dating (but no sex. Well, implied sex). In her spare time, she enjoys cooking, whittling, and pottery, like a character out of Wind in the Willows.
