Gaming The System - The Feminist Gaming PodcastAuthor: GamingtheSystem
The podcast where 3 intersectional feminists examine gaming and games through a feminist lens. New Episodes every Thursday.Alex, Jem and Matt believe gaming is good. Gaming is good for relaxation, for learning, for bringing people together and for your mental health. But like all media, there is both good and bad and we want to address how we make gaming a safe and healthy environment for women and minority groups (although lets not forget that people of colour are the global ethnic majority).We want to see the small steps towards an intersectional feminist future that have been made in games to go further. We are Gaming the System because we want to see our beloved world of Gaming reflect the values we hold dear, and until it does we are here to shine a light on what needs to change.-----PAYPAL & PATREONIf you want to support us, you can send us a one-off donation via paypal or subscribe monthly to our Patreon.For paypal, send your donation to:wearegamingthesystem@gmail.comFor patreon:patreon.com/gamingthesystem Language: en-gb Genres: Leisure, Society & Culture, Video Games Contact email: Get it Feed URL: Get it iTunes ID: Get it |

Bafta's 2026: The Big Finish! (Episode 283)
Saturday, 27 June, 2026
Alex hosts Jem and Matt on Gaming the System, promoting their Patreon and PayPal support, then launches into a discussion of awards and categories through the lens of Clair Obscur, which they describe as transcendent and unfairly dominant in contexts like “debut game,” especially compared with smaller-studio releases. They debate BAFTA/Game Awards vibes, the shift to a single “performer” category, and highlight nominated voice actors including Erika Ishii, Ben Starr, Jennifer English, Troy Baker, and others, plus a call for a dedicated motion/performance-capture award citing Clair Obscur’s mocap work and Charlotte Hopfner. The conversation critiques “safe” corporate diversity choices, trigger warnings used as justification for suppressing difficult art, and contrasts this with celebratory, sanitized event branding, alongside brief thoughts on the new James Bond game’s music/celebrity choices.📢 Support the Podcast!Let us know on BlueSky (@gamingthesystem.bsky.social), Instagram (@gamingthesystempodcast) or in the comments on YouTube!If you love Gaming The System, consider supporting us:🔹 Patreon: patreon.com/gamingthesystem – get exclusive content!🔹 PayPal Donations: gamingthesystem@gmail.com🔹 Subscribe & Review: Share the podcast with fellow gamers!🎙 Gaming The System releases new episodes every ThursdayThanks for listening, and remember – there’s always another game to play that isn’t full of nonsense. 🎮✨#GamingTheSystem #GamingCulture #FeministGaming #feministgamingpodcast #feministgamers #intersectionalgaming #equalityingames #GamingRepresentation #AccessibleGaming #IntersectionalGaming #GamingTheSystemPodcast
