Videogames Transfems Love

6 minutes read


   What follows is just simply a list of videogames (And a few cheeky visual novels) the transfem community loves and talks about a lot and recommends to each other a lot. Simple fun, just my observations from being in the transfem/nonbinary gaming community and watching discussions and recommendations for a while.

   I made this list because I thought about how only New Vegas, Bloodborne, Ultrakill, and Celeste get brought up as “transfem related” games we love, when there’s a HECK of a lot more that are actually talked about and loved in the various communities. I tried to actually hit as many genres as I could think of actually in my sweep. Sorry cargirl trans girls, I do not know almost any of you at all/see what games you commonly talk about.

   The Rain World community is so insanely queer, it’s kinda baffling a bit. The discord is just filled to the brim with pride flags, the devs have always accepted us and been chill with LGBT people of every variety being in the community. Which also helps a game be popular to the queer community obviously, having devs or a social media team who are not bigoted towards any LGBT letters.

   As for my own thoughts on what gets popular and liked, there are some trends you can look at. There’s a lot of built up trans rage from rampant transphobia that I think is obvious when looking at picks like Doom and Dark Souls. Transhumanism and trans representation does often get a game recommended, but it has to be good in its own right to truly remain in the zeitgiest. Character creation and fashion design is a simple plus, where trans people can experiment with clothes and feminine aesthetics on their own time and away from prying eyes. Pokemon as a franchise is very beloved for being a lot of the community’s first fashion and gender experimentation ground. Trans people are depressed often, for obvious reasons, and post apocalypse stories and impossible scenarios speak to us a lot. Online play is always a plus since a lot of us are far apart from each other and depend on these online experiences to play with our friends in other countries.
