- description: Are videogame stereotypes... hurting MEN?! There's been a lot of discussion about female portrayals in games (re: our last episode), but maybe we should be talking about dudes, too. Games continue the cultural narrative of big and strong men, "manning up" and being the hero. As you play, you kill hundreds or thousands of other men, without regard for the emotional toll on one's psyche. This pattern trains us to suppress emotion and sacrifice, and can even lead to male body issues (we can't all be Duke Nukem). So are videogames bad for guys? Watch the episode and find out!
