About This Video Almost every gamer will relate to the concept of seeking solace in a video game. Hope for sanctuary guides their escape into a virtual universe where they can be anything they want to be. For many, however, choosing to be true to themselves becomes an open invitation for hatred. This multiplies for those who are marginalized people, including people of color, women, and members of the LGBTQ community. Toxic cultures that breed violence and vitriol hide behind a industry that undervalues the innovation of its audience. GAMING IN COLOR crusades for anyone who believes that the pixelated world can be a better place for everyone, no matter who they are or what they love.A lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, or otherwise queer gamer has a higher chance of being mistreated in a social game. The power dynamics of a male-dominated geek society tips against them. Further, diverse queer themes in game storylines and characters are an anomaly in the mainstream video game industry. However, the gaming community is far more colorful than one may expect. Gaming In Color shows that there is a full spectrum of gamers picking up their controller to play.This feature documentary explores the queer side of gaming culture and the game industry's LGBTQ presence. The queer geek community is taking huge steps forward in being recognized on a worldwide industry scale. At the same time, more popular mainstream and indie games are featuring a greater amount of queer characters than ever before, helping with visibility and acceptance. There's a long road ahead and tons of aspects that desperately need improvement, but the video games universe will continue to mature and diversify both in its community culture and industry only if we elevate the conversation about inclusion and respecting one another - not in spite of our gay geekiness, but because of it!Director: Philip JonesProducers: Matt Conn, Philip Jones, Anne Clements, Ryan Paul, Kayce BrownWriter: Ryan PaulFeaturing: Colleen Macklin, George Skleres, Naomi Clark, Matt Conn, Joey Stern, Jessica Vazquez, Shane Cherry, Matthew Michael Brown 6d5b4406ea Title: Gaming In ColorProduction:MidBoss, LLC.Distributor:Devolver Digital FilmsRelease Date: 10 Mar, 2015Country: United StatesContains: No strong language, No drug useMinimal covering, Mildly violent or disturbing, Mild sexual situations, Flashing or strobing light, TVPG equivalentRunning Time: 61 minutes Gaming In Color Download Youtube As a Gaymer myself, this documentary (if you wnat to call it that) was literally 98% \u2665\u2665\u2665\u2665\u2665ing. At 38 minutes into it I almost shut it off because it was a broken record of complaining that was starting to hurt my ears, whine whine whine. So many of the interviewees really seem angry, mad and just bitter. GTA5 didnt have gay characters or a female protagonist (10 minutes of complaining about that). They use quotes from YouTube commenters for some of the gay game clips shown -- and you have to stop for a minute and think about it. Everyone in the comments sections of 99% of any games are flaming each other for everything, its a bunch of 13 y.o.'s I laugh at most of it because their all stupid, but this documentary takes YouTube comments like it's literal hate eg. sex scene in Mass Effect 3 was used, hate comment used showed 'futurestic buttsex'. omg how halarious I think, no according to these guys its more hate. Comon... The intent is good, but I found myself rolling my eyes more often than not. The final 11 minutes were some of the better part of the show. I almost wish it was put at the beginning. Overall... Meh.... Fantasic !!! We NEED more LGBTQA+ characters. We need MORE LGBTQA+representation, because it's not just straight people who play games. The LGBTQA+plays, therefore should feel like they can play without being pushed asside.Feel they too are accepted.Aim to help LGBT+ people find their place in the world so that they can feel part of a community of like-minded people, and understand that they\u2019re a valued, beautiful and incredibly important.It's important. It's so important.It's imporant that a kid can play and not feel pressured to pick a character that doesn't associate with their sexuality and gender. You want to play somebody who reflects who you are, if you understand where i'm getting at ? Making it relevant to individuals and communities of diversity in sexuality and gender identity based cultures.We want girls kissing girls, we want boys kissing boys, we want bisexuality in boys and girls, we want transgender FTM\/MTF, we want non binary folks, and ect+ Although video games are incredibly forward, at times they can be very backwards in terms of being LGBT+ friendly.MORE LGBTQA+ REPRESENTATION !!!!MORE PEOPLE OF COLOR AND RACE !!!!ERASE HETROSEXUALITY AS NORMAL.EARASE BEING CIS AS NORMAL.PREACH THIS !!!!EQUALITY FOR ALL. I LOVED THIS !!!. An amazing movie. If you've ever felt oppressed by the the gaming community for any reason (race, creed, religion, sexuality, gender, etc), I highly highly suggest this.. Well thought out and decently executed. At least some of the commentators make some unepected observations of more insight than expected, even if you already know and understand and agree with the over-arching, more obvius points. Would have benefitted from at least a tip of the hat to other minority communities in gaming. Recommended overall, and I feel I got my money's worth out of it even if I wasn't overwhelmed by awesome.. Love this movie <3Representation is important, if you disagree with that then congratulation having 95% of games media cater to you. Don't punch down at the LGBT community for wanting more than the bare minimum acknowledgment please.
