  • 13. Japanese Anime Shun
    Why do some people in western countries like America look down upon animation in general? Why is Japanese anime in particular not ubiquitously accepted like it is in Japan? What defines anime anyway? Can animation be truly moving, emotional, and artistic like other forms of entertainment? Yes. Kira and Kyle discuss these concepts and think about why this matters.

  • 11. Create Your Nonbinary Character
    Why do games act as if there is a gender binary? Especially in games that allow character customization? Why do games tend to be so heteronormative and only portray relationships consisting of a single male and a single female? Kira and Kyle discuss this trope, cite examples of it, completely break down everything about gender and orientation, and think about why this matters.

    Is Fantasy really a genre or just a bunch of stereotypes and tropes? Shouldn't Fantasy be more than elves and wizards and knights?
