In this episode of Cubs Out Loud, the cubs welcome back the adorkable Chris Diorio to geek out on some gaming representation. The cubs converse about the video game industry and characters that are part of the LGBTQ+ spectrum. How has the changing culture of gay acceptance affected the characters depicted in modern gaming?

Re: COL444 LTAS: Bottom Friendly Food. Hey guys, I know this is not the usual happy type of email you’d normally get, but I wanted to say a big Thank You. I had a 2 hour drive on Monday from Louisville to Cincinnati as my Dad’s Time was running out, and I listened to the podcast on the way up. You guys kept me entertained and kept me from thinking of the bad stuff ahead. I guess you never really know how you touch people’s lives…this was one that helped me when I needed it. Thanks. James Butterfield

OtterDave: Hi, I just wanted to let you know I really enjoy your podcasts. I’m realitively new to BU and the bear community, and the episode you did on bifobia really touched me. The issues you discuss are exactly what I have dealt with identifying as a bi otter. Those assumptions about bisexuality are why I have struggled with and chose not to come out. I appreciate your willingness to discuss the topic and how understanding you all are. Thanks for making all these great podcasts and not being afraid to talk about taboo topics. Congrats on the 400th episode. Woof, Dave
Tibbers: Grrr!

Nice bonus clip at the end! And Gary, as a man married to a big woman, the sex may not be frequent, but she’s sexy for the same reason bears are – love ‘em thick! ??
