But we're not going to go down without a fight. Save the Vagina Museum."

Nina KielI continue to be terrible at self-promotion and thus completely forgot to mention that the "Bloomsbury Handbook of Sex and Sexuality in Game Studies", for which I wrote a chapter on digital games and sexual health, has recently been published!<a href="https://www.bloomsbury.com/us/bloomsbury-handbook-of-sex-and-sexuality-in-game-studies-9781501394034/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.bloomsbury.com/us/bloomsbury-handbook-of-sex-and-sexuality-in-game-studies-9781501394034/</a>The book offers a wide range of perspectives on this widely neglected, but incredibly fascinating topic, so make sure to check it out if you're even remotely interested in exploring relationships and sexuality in interactive virtual spaces, queer representation, or the history of eroticism in the medium.<a href="https://peoplemaking.games/tags/GameStudies" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GameStudies</a> <a href="https://peoplemaking.games/tags/Gaming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Gaming</a> <a href="https://peoplemaking.games/tags/AdultGames" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AdultGames</a> <a href="https://peoplemaking.games/tags/Pornography" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Pornography</a> <a href="https://peoplemaking.games/tags/Sexuality" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Sexuality</a>

DoomsdaysCWHmmmm... Why am I having <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/DejaVu" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DejaVu</a>? From 2022: "Vladimir <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Putin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Putin</a> has mentioned 'gender freedoms' more than once to justify <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Russia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Russia</a>’s war against <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Ukraine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Ukraine</a> and simultaneously crack down on its own citizens."Most directly, he alleged that Russian citizens who seek '<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/GenderFreedoms" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GenderFreedoms</a>' (alongside foie gras and oysters) are part of the anti-Russian 'fifth column.'"Gender and sexuality freedoms — or rights, as they are more typically called — are about <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BodilyAutonomy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BodilyAutonomy</a>, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/diversity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#diversity</a> and <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/inclusivity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#inclusivity</a>. <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Feminist" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Feminist</a> and <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/LGBTQ" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LGBTQ</a>+ activists assert that every human being deserves respect, recognition and equal rights regardless of their gender or sexuality."What’s the connection between Putin’s animosity toward Ukraine and toward <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/gender" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#gender</a> and <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/sexuality" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#sexuality</a> rights in Russia and around the world? Gender and Putin’s regime"Putin’s regime has increasingly relied on very conventional gender and sexual norms."When he first ascended to the presidency, image-makers used Putin’s <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/KGB" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#KGB</a> background and penchant for physical fitness to frame him as a <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/macho" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#macho</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/strongman" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#strongman</a> who could reverse Russia’s waning power and 'remasculinize' the country after a decade of supposed geopolitical flaccidity in the wake of the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Soviet" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Soviet</a> collapse. "In other words, an inflexible and clearly <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/patriarchal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#patriarchal</a> notion of masculinity has been central to the Putin regime’s legitimacy."Russia’s foreign policy has relied on rigid gender norms as well. When Ukraine underwent its first pro-democracy revolution in 2004, Russian media questioned its leaders’ masculinity."Putin likewise used homophobic terms to dismiss <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Georgia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Georgia</a>’s <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/RoseRevolution" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RoseRevolution</a> in 2003, responding to a reporter’s question by saying: 'A rose revolution — next they’ll come up with a light blue one.' In Russian, 'light blue' or goluboi is slang for “gay male.” Gender and appealing to constituencies"Putin has often been represented as the unquestioned leader of the pack ruling Russia — a masculinity-driven image."However, even as the leader of a personalist <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/dictatorship" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#dictatorship</a> — a regime in which there are few institutional limits on the leader’s power — Putin must balance competing interests among significant elites and maintain at least the appearance of public support in order to be considered a legitimate ruler."Until 2020, Putin was using gendered language in his speeches to signal his alignment with a variety of elites and public constituencies that supported him. He was sending mixed signals to both relatively progressive Russians who value women’s roles in the workplace and to <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/conservatives" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#conservatives</a> wishing for a return to '<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/TraditionalFamilyValues" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#TraditionalFamilyValues</a>,' in order to keep everyone in his camp."But after July 2021, when he published an essay contending Ukrainians and Russians are a single people, Putin no longer shied away from making sexist and LGBTQ+-phobic comments in prominent settings."At an October 2021 meeting of the Valdai Discussion Club — a Moscow-based think tank and discussion forum that Putin is closely associated with — he said teaching children about <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/GenderFluidity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GenderFluidity</a> was 'truly monstrous' and 'verging on a crime against humanity.'"
