Sex, Money and Censorship

In July 2025, a targeted campaign against videogame distribution platforms led to policy decisions that threatened to deplatform a wide range of sexual content. Please join us for a panel discussion with advocates, designers, and game and sexuality scholars who will historicize and contextualize this emerging issue through explorations of questions of power, affect, censorship, education, and the role of games as archives. This event is supported by the Canadian Game Studies Association, and co-hosted by the Institute for Research on Digital Literacies (IRDL), in collaboration with The Institute for Technoscience & Society (ITS), Sensorium, and The Center for Feminist Research (CFR).
