Andrew Joseph White’s writing is exactly what autistic transgender people like me needed when we were younger
I adored books as a child but had always struggled to find characters I could really relate to or who thought like me. I felt very alone and like there was something deeply wrong with me. This carried on through into my adulthood with all characters in fiction feeling like aliens to me. That is until my friend recommended a horror book by autistic transgender author, Andrew Joseph White.
Mithago’s Burn A Building is a passionate call-to-arms that leaves nowhere to hide
After 8 years away from the video production scene social media accounts for Scroobius Pip suddenly started lighting up with an announcement. Mithago’s Burn A Building had moved him so much we just had to go take a look for ourselves. Crow Rudd writes;
Spareparts Joque review; a pricey harness but worth it
We all know this scenario, you are down to clown and the mood is set. You pull out your well curated collection of toys like a wine connoisseur of orgasms. You click that bad boy into your harness, ready to ruin this lovely person who is ready to be jack hammered into the afterlife.
But alas you are fat and the harness isn’t big enough, even worse the fabric cuts into your skin like paper cuts and the jackhammering has ended with a weird plop as the toy has abandoned all hope and unceremoniously falls out of the o-ring of your harness. No worries though, the days of horny fat suffering have come to an end.

Queerness in video games isn’t new; this manufactured backlash is
Following the announcement of Erika Ishii’s role in Ghost of Yōtei and predictable backlash centering on queerness in video games from a certain squalid corner of the internet I saw a thread by Ciarán Strange (voice of Lor and Paladin Mike in the Borderlands series) that felt like he had a lot more to say. To my great appreciation, Ciarán Strange writes;
Helldivers 2 queerphobia & why we need Pride capes
Helldivers 2 is incredible. There are no two ways about that; it is the perfect blend of epic, chaotic, frenzied insanity and cool, calm and collected tactical thinking. All set across gorgeous landscapes with absolutely beautiful lightning effects. But we have to talk about the Helldivers 2 queerphobia problem.

At the 2023 Game Awards we didn’t just have Alan Wake the Musical, Jordan Peele coming out of an ominous door and surprise God of War DLC. We also had confirmation that VTubing is taking over the world of livestreaming, and for good reason, as Twitch’s most subscribed female streamer (with an additional 1.87M followers) Ironmouse took home the award for Content Creator of the Year.
