Abstract

Media representation of all types of people is important, both for the people it represents and the broader public. We argue that non-binary people are a significantly under-represented group, specifically within the medium of video games, and we describe the process of designing a queer video game, which we have titled FIT, that is focused on a non-binary character and uses game mechanics to represent, explore, and discuss some of the experiences that non-binary people can face.
