Jogos Digitais, Jogos Queer, Sexualidade, GêneroResumo
Este artigo trata da observação de um Workshop da cena queer avant garde de jogos digitais da Baía de San Francisco, uma cena de produção acadêmica e de jogos queer norte-americana. As cenas queer de jogos digitais são reconhecidas por apropriarem-se de dinâmicas constitutivas dos jogos digitais (como narrativa e mecânicas inerentes aos jogos digitais), assim como de outras estéticas da cultura pop e de elementos históricos das identidades e movimentos LGBTQ. Estas manifestações visam, ao mesmo tempo, produzir novas maneiras de narrar experiências não-heterossexuais e não-cissexuais, e resistir a compreensões hegemônicas que os excluem dessas culturas. Dessa maneira, aqui nos centramos nas relações estéticas organizadas por essa cena, em especial à estética da fofura (”cute”), e de que maneira essa é compreendida e utilizada tanto para um acesso simbólico e afetivo diferencial para essas comunidades quanto como resistência à temas estéticos e mecânicos do jogo digital mainstream.
