"What am I talking about? What am I TALKING ABOUT?! I'm talking about your goldarn security! While you're snoozing in your little jammies, back in Washington we're wide awake and worried. Why? Because everyone wants what we have, Hogarth. EVERYONE!"

Right on the nose

And I'm in a small engineering-focused institution.

Ugh.

I genuinely worry that someone will do something similar with the 1980s Devil Worship moral panic.

And this all hits within the same week. We aren't even talking about how many of the big computer game programmers of the time were both PoC and women.

Later in the semester, I ask my students to write a paper about a moment in gaming history that should be remembered and why

You see, several things stick out in that time:
1) we talk about the birth of japanese computer gaming (its based in porn)
2) the 1st person to design DnD Dungeons like full eco-systems was a trans woman (RIP Jennell)
3) the 1st eSports winner was a trans woman (RIP Rebecca)
4) Moral Panics (Xtian)

So, for perspective, I teach a history of games course.

We cover from 1945 until today. I make the argument that you cannot talk about a history of games without talking about WW2 and especially the atomic bomb.

Things generally go well...until...the 1970s and 1980s.

'I was just following orders' is an admission of guilt, after all
