E09 Proud to Gayme -Lies You'll Enjoy

Amanda McKnight, a content creator, cosplayer, and all-around nerd, joins us on this episode of the Proud to Gayme podcast. We discuss her queer and nerd journeys. From making a living doing nerd content from comic book reviews to being on a weekly RPG stream she spends all her time engaging with various fandoms. On the "Lies You'll Enjoy" RPG stream the group has focused on promoting indie one-shots that are typically queer themed. They like promoting stories the average person may not find as easily when moving away from Dungeons & Dragons. Her and Danielle discuss how making queer media more mainstream may have helped people get the space to explore it as an identity for themselves. Also, how labels are meant for yourself. Definitions can be interchangeable and it's better to ask a person what their interpretation is rather than making assumptions.
