Video Games Made Me Gay

I think it's a known thing that Zelda is kinda queer, but in addition to Gayest Episode Ever, we also do a Patreon-only bonus podcast called The Cartoons That Made Us Gay. The most recent one looks at the 1989 Legend of Zelda cartoon, which does more with gender than you might expect... like this moment with Zelda expressing an interest in girl-on-girl heroics that this damsel in distress is not into.

There's also Prince Facade as an effeminate fop...

And the very strange dynamic between Link and his fairy pal, Spryte.

If you're down to hear queer takes on not just this cartoon but also TMNT, Jem, GI Joe, Sailor Moon, Gargoyles, Street Sharks and Beverly Hills Teens, all it takes is $1 a month on Patreon, plus you get all regular stuff early. And if you're like "I don't want to sign up without listening first," you can listen to our Jem & The Holograms episode on the main feed here.

Well, the world is garbage but at the very least I can make a podcast about pretty night music and gay moon music and put a fucking fairy on the cover art. (BTW, it’s Seren/Selene from Panel de Pon, in case you’re wondering.) Anyway, I think this doesn’t suck. Your input readily accepted.

Check out the tracklist here.

I dont play 3D-street fighter games that much but my god this new M Bison look is gorgeous! The skull-armor looks a bit cheesy (but fits to SF character) but that tiny white beard does adds some style.

I love video game music and I love Mario games and it suddenly occurred to me that it had been too long since I did a Mario-specific episode. So let me present to you… Super Mario B-Sides! It’s all the weird songs from Mario (and Marioverse) games that not enough people know about but deserve a little more recognition. Super stoked on this episode!

Because I know SoundCloud embeds don’t show off the cover art in mobile on Tumblr, I’m reminding you that I made the art for the most recent episode of Singing Mountain as gay as possible. Listened here, if you want. It’s all Streets of Rage and other music from the “musclebound vigilantes walking city streets and punching people in the face” genre, which we must admit is pretty damn gay.
