Cover Story: Gender, Sexuality, and Video Games
1UP explores what games get wrong and right when it comes to one of society’s trickiest topics.
Years ago, when I was very young, I saw a sitcom name-drop Ms. Pac-Man. I don’t remember which show it was. The Facts of Life? A Different World? No matter; the important thing was the joke: One character made a passing reference to “Miss Pac-Man” only to be interrupted by a female classmate.
“Miz Pac-Man,” she corrected. Cue canned laughter.
