“It was really important to us, especially in the current political climate, to put this in the game.”

Blobun is an indie puzzle game currently making waves on social media thanks to a joke setting that eliminates its lesbian content. The problem? Blobun protagonist Stephanie is gay, so flipping the so-called “lesbian toggle” in the options menu removes her from the game and renders it totally unplayable.

      Plural? Headmates? Are these terms based on the idea that there are multiple personalities with names?

        No. Multiple personalities are not what we are talking about. That term is kind of outdated and based on an era where plurality wasn’t as understood as it is now. In medical science one specific form of plurality that replaced MPD (Multiple Personality Disorder) is DID (Dissasociative Identity Disorder). However, this is not the only kind of plurality that exists, and yes there are some who are closer to having ‘multiple personalities’. However, there are some minds which have multiple people living in them, and no one person is more ‘real’ or the ‘main’ person in some, what is commonly referred to as ‘systems’.

          That was an interesting read. I have no experience of this myself, so it is rather hard to relate to.

          The concept of “nonhuman members” is surely the hardest to share without getting laughed out of the room, especially as it’s not clear what it represents.

          Thanks for clarifying the intended definition of those terms.

          Thank you for sharing that one. I had never heard of plurality before outside Hollywood, learnt something new today. So fascinating!
