Far too often, though, even the stories that take us outside of our bubble are made by people firmly inside their own. It’s rare to see a creative team behind a media product that matches the diversity on the screen. Wonder Woman, for instance, with its female story and director, was still written by a man. That's why the new series, This Close, airing on the new Sundance Now streaming service is quietly revolutionary.

But, as well as making little effort to dodge the familiar trappings of yaoi, Ten Count adds yet more fuel to the fire by exposing readers to another problematic fetish in an already problematic genre.

Yesterday was World Down Syndrome Day, and to mark the occasion the Italian advocacy organization CoorDown teamed with other Down syndrome organizations to produce an awesome (and hilarious) video starring Glee's Lauren Potter.

If you lived in the suburbs in the 80s you could be anything you wanted. You just had to work hard and fit in, be a “regular kid.” It didn’t matter that my parents were divorced, a rarity for kids in my town. It didn’t matter that I was a bigger rarity. I was “handicapped” with Cerebral Palsy. I would have five surgeries before fifteen. Not surprisingly, what I really wanted was the magical escape childhood movies promised.

As creative and clever as players and organizations can be, they’ll always be limited by the gameplay itself.
