Masterful Movie

One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

"Gaming in color" deals with the LGBT-Gaming community and its constant and ongoing battle for a better representation in Blockbuster Video Games.Throughout the documentary, you really get a sense for important it is to create a space in which everybody can feel safe and accepted and how difficult it can be to achieve that in the contemporary gaming world. The hesitation of major games companies to include LGBT characters in their story lines is a serious lack of acknowledgment towards this part of the audience.Somheow it is frustrating how this still has to be an issue. How we still aren't at a point where everyone is accepted and respected for who he is. How people are still hesitant to accept different worldviews or sexual orientations in their beloved titles. But of course it is the more important to make people aware of this fact and to show that there is a large group of people that should be more carefully considered in the making of video games.Speaking of the documentary itself, it mostly operates through interviews, which allows different perspectives to be given a platform. I think it would have been interesting to follow some of the protagonists a bit more personal, to see them in their actual gaming environment, to learn about their lives a bit, in order to make it even easier to relate and gain a sense of what is important to them.I can recommend everyone to give this a watch and think about it. It would be for the best of us all.

The gaming community is diverse as it is vast...from the casual gamer, to the hardcore, rocking the headset until the wee hours, there are gamers from all walks of life. Gaming in Color is one of those films that not only demonstrates just how diverse the community is, but also how the gaming industry is beginning to understand that as well. Gone are the days where gaming was a "niche" and sometimes frowned upon subculture. This is just the beginning...and if you enjoy a documentary that tells it like it is, like video games and want to get a good idea of just how diverse the gaming world is...then this is worth watching. From clips of well-known video games, to candid interviews with industry and gamers, Gaming in Color takes the controller out of the hands of the basement brat, and puts it into everyone else's.

Gaming in Color is a a documentary about geek culture, gamer culture, and the ups and downs of being queer in these cultural niches. It discusses the issues of representation, micro-aggressions, and what it means to be gay in gaming and geek culture. With many influential faces in both gaming and academia involved, this film brings the points it wants to to the table with poise and intelligence while being heartfelt. A must watch for anyone who games, is queer, or is a queer gamer. You should watch it if you're not one of those to. Learn about others lives.
