Producer: Julie Fukunaga\n\nWhat does it mean to (be queer) and come of age on the internet? \n\nIn the past ten years, the queer games movement has exploded. Around the world, more and more people feel like they can make free and simple and strange games - ones that speak to queer stories and experiences. But it wasn\u2019t always this easy.\n\nSome queer gamers used the earliest, clunkiest internet to find each other in crisis, to find friends, community, and a lifeline support in a time when no one was paying attention. Follow the journeys of queer gamers as they reflect on their earliest experiences online - experiences of freedom and discomfort, of community and isolation. They\u2019ve since become architects of the internet, contributing to online communities as media scholars and game developers, but for these queer gamers, it all started way back.\n\nFeatured voice (subjects names if they want to share): Pedro Gallardo (he/him), Teddy Pozo (they/them), Kat Brewster (they/she)\n\n\nAu Clair de Lune (Sunhiilow)\nSad Day Slow Game Music (HeatleyBros)\nPlaymateX, In My Head (Podington Bear)\nFlight of Lulu (Possimiste)\nNotice the Absence of You is Here (Monplaisir)\nYou Can Calmly Put This Thing Together (Junior85)\nOpening Credits (JohnnyRipper)\nRoute 3 (Mikel (Game Chops))\nVarious themes from Animal Crossing
