This trans bar is full of trans women! I am joined by my friend and former fellow steampunk crewmember Lucy Wheeler to talk about Fortnite, a very popular video game whose reputation precedes it. Lucy is a self proclaimed "dumb girl with bad taste who will never change", but more importantly, she moderates a subreddit and discord server for queer and trans women in gaming. Together, we discuss the artform of making fun of yourself, the inherent discomfort of the steampunk genre, and why life's too short to worry about being cringe.
Audio featured in this episode is from Fortnite and NSYNC.
