A deep look into the gender binary as well as transgender/nonbinary characters in video games and how well or not they do in both breaking the binary and allowing for realistic transgender/nonbinary characters.

Talks a lot about genitals, bodies, sex (the act) and attractiveness etc.

Is this sarcasm or are you being genuine?

That's my takeaway from watching that video. That it's easy to appeal to horny men and hard to appeal to horny women.

oh yes, us horny women have much more specific needs due to the stratification of society, and the patriarchy 😉
