For LGBT people, media is a very important outlet. Finding characters and stories that are relatable is often critical to developing one’s identity and creating acceptance. We examine cultural ideas, representation, and experiences that tie anime and the LGBT community deeply.
Anime is an important platform for LGBT representation in media, but video games transcend the screen, making the player part of the story. These immersive worlds are a unique way to showcase LGBT characters and issues. Join us as we discuss these issues, as well as how Eastern and Western games portray them.
The Formal Ball theme for this year is Tir na Nog. Join us in a paradise of everlasting youth, beauty, health, abundance, and joy. Formal dress is encouraged, and dressing to the theme is applauded (fae, fairies, Tuatha de Danann, etc.). Feel free to interpret the theme as you see fit!
You thought the Greek gods like to get wild on the weekends, but the Japanese gods were also known to get their freak on! Join us for some wicked tales of creation sex, murders and punishment in hell, and other NSFW myths and legends. It’s sure to make you blush.
