日常的性别体验为理解大型多人在线游戏(MMOG)及其社区论坛的参与提供了一个情感框架。魔兽世界在线论坛上关于即将到来的游戏角色Ji Firepaw的变化的争论,他最初用性别和性别歧视的对话来迎接角色,展示了游戏和游戏社区是如何嵌入更大的文化背景的。像女权主义者一样的快乐,焦虑的男性气质和玩家代理的主题在官方和非官方的魔兽世界论坛上反复出现。这些关注依赖于并旨在加强性别权力动态,说明数字和虚拟空间不是独立的空间。相反,MMOG及其相关的在线环境被视为日常生活的一部分,因此女权主义者和女权主义者被视为对这些虚拟空间的威胁,并延伸到对一组隐含的更广泛的关于性别和性别角色的共享价值观的享受和社交性的威胁。
Everyday gendered experiences provide an affective framework for understanding participation in massively multiplayer online games (MMOGs) and their community forums. Debates on the World of Warcraft online forums about changes to an upcoming in-game character named Ji Firepaw, who initially greeted characters with gendered and sexist dialogue, demonstrates how games and game communities are embedded in larger cultural contexts. Themes like the feminist as killjoy, anxious masculinity and player agency recur across official and unofficial WoW forums regarding Ji Firepaw. These concerns rely upon and aim to reinforce gendered power dynamics, illustrating how the digital and the virtual are not independent spaces. Rather, MMOGs and their associated online environments are experienced as part of the everyday, such that feminists and feminism are treated as threats to these virtual spaces and, by extension, to the enjoyment and sociability of an implicitly broader set of shared values about gender and sex roles.
