Video Games

Video games exist in a different paradigm of identity construction and characterization than other media, as many video games allow for players to explore plurisexual romantic relationships without the implicit denoting of that character being bisexual, a concept known in the gaming community as “playersexuality.” Therefore, a distinction has been made between games that have playersexual characters and those that have bisexual ones.
