Coming to WorldCon @seattlein2025.org? I interview the brilliant Dr. Heather O. Petrocelli & discuss their book, @queerforfear.com QUEER FOR FEAR: HORROR FILM AND THE QUEER SPECTATOR. The Doctor interviewed 4000+ horror-loving queers. What'd they say?
Sun, Aug 17. 9-10 AM. Rooms 435-436.
Black and red background with red lightning. Features images of Dr. Petrocelli, Evan J. Peterson, and the book's cover. The text is a compressed version of the caption.

The goths & nerds are sorting it out. Take note:
Mature Content Warning For the past several decades, Vampire: The Masquerade has addressed the darkness in the real world through horror stories: it has talked about AIDS, capitalist exploitation, sexual predation, the resurgence of far-right political extremism, religious fanaticism, state and private surveillance, and many other issues. This version of the game does not shy away from any of the above, and we believe exploration of subjects like these is as valid in roleplaying games as it is in other media. Including a problematic subject in a Storytelling game is not the same as glorifying it, and if you take the chance to explore it critically, it can be the exact opposite. If we understand the problems facing us, we are better armed to fight them. Vs includes in-world references and expressions of the following: sexual violence, political extremism, physical violence and gore, mind control, torture, abuse, imprisonment and kidnapping, racism, sexism, and homophobia, to name a few. It's a game about monsters. "Why are you telling me this?" you might be saying. Someone at your table is not familiar with this game. Someone at your table has dealt with some of these issues in real life. Someone at your table wants to know that you read this warning and know you will be considerate to them as players, while putting their character through the wringer. In the Appendix, you will find concrete techniques on how to handle difficult subjects in your game in a manner that is respectful to your players and their experiences. Calibrate beforehand which techniques your group wants to use. People have different needs and not every method works for every person. This is a game about monsters. But it is only a game. Don't use it as an excuse to be a monster yourself.
