A lot of work has been done talking about what masculinity is and
what it does within video games, but less has been given to
considering how and why this happens, and the processes involved.
This book considers the array of daily relationships involved in
producing masculinity and how those actions and relationships
translate to video games. Moreover, it examines the ways the actual
play of the games maps onto the stories to create contradictory
moments that show that, while toxic masculinity certainly exists,
it is far from inevitable. Topics covered include the nature of
masculine apprenticeship and nurturing, labor, fatherhood, the
scapegoating of women, and reckoning with mortality, among many
others.
