Where feminism meets fringe. Host Cristen Conger dissects the myths, messes, and media shaping modern womanhood—and un-womanhood. From bisexual imposter syndrome to tall girl therapy, gun culture to birth control backlash, she mentions it all—backed by deep research, sharp interviews, and just enough unseriousness to demystify the uncanny valley of 21st-century patriarchy without doomspiraling. Gender. Power. Culture. Context. Unladylike.

Episode Summary:
Welcome back to Gaming The System, the podcast where three intersectional feminists explore the gaming world through a critical lens. In today’s episode, Alex, Jem, and Matt dive into the sheer volume of games released in 2024, discussing the staggering 19,000 titles on Steam alone. With so many games out there, is there really a need for the gaming industry to cling to outdated and problematic tropes?
We also take a closer look at Marvel Rivals and its baffling use of boob physics, questioning why this continues to be a thing in modern gaming. Plus, we discuss Elon Musk’s gaming controversy—how the world’s richest man got caught out cheating in Path of Exile 2 and Diablo 4.
Expect passionate discussions, sharp critiques, and a good dose of humor as we navigate gaming news, representation, and industry trends.
🔹 Topics Discussed in This Episode:
✅ The sheer number of games released in 2024 – is it overwhelming or a sign of a thriving industry?
✅ The persistence of problematic character design – Marvel Rivals and the infamous boob physics debate.
✅ Gaming escapism vs. activism – balancing engagement with self-care.
✅ Elon Musk’s gaming scandal – why pay to win when you’re already a billionaire?
✅ The ongoing issues of representation and misogyny in gaming culture.
