eggs eggs eggs all I want is eggs
Happy Easter Weekend! I’m Jturn and this is my silly gaming deep dives channel. Today we’re going to take a walk through the world of queer video game easter eggs. They’ve got a long (tumultuous) history!
Like I mention in the video, this list definitely skews gay. If you’ve got a favourite non-gay easter egg, please feel free to share below because I’d love to put them into a future video!
Okay bye 🙂
This video would not have been possible without the LGBTQ Video Game Archive, a fantastic and fascinating resource.
The LGBTQ Video Game Archive documents the history of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer content in games (currently digital, with hopes to expand). The site is a research project organized by Adrienne Shaw, a faculty member at Temple University’s Lew Klein College of Media and Communication.

This was so well done and brilliantly researched!! Fantastic job as usual Jake
You pronounced Greenwich the same way it is pronounced in NYC.
🧉🥤
Happy Easter
🥤bc I was told to!
🥤 in honor of the golden cup, the best reccuring character in Jake's videos
Ahh, there was a gay in the Digimon story: Cyber Sleuth. He received a bunch of pics of flowers so he ordered a sleuth to see into it, it turned out it was Lillymon taking selfies, so reporting back he said he didnt mind cause he is into boys only. <3
Wait, everyone calls you Jake!? o.O

I really love your content! And also, you are freaking adorably cute! Hope it's okay for me to say that! Please keep up the great work!
🥤🥤🥤 cheers!
Whether you want to consider it a "queer" easter egg or not, my personal favorite is Super Mario RPG's. It's played as a light hearted joke, but at a certain portion of the game, a quick time event occurs where Mario can kiss Princess Peach, but if he misses he ends up kissing Bowser instead 😂
🥤😀
I'm gonna go completely off topic and compliment your Hawaiian shirt! You have so many shirts that are my type of thing to wear! I'd ask where you get them but f@ck it just post me your entire wardrobe along with an invoice!
And yet again another great and humorous video! Always looking forward to Sunday's now for your content!
Hun, I've not eaten any choccy today, pls send eggs 🙁
"Male.. female… what's the difference?" as a bi man, I can really relate to that one. And I totally get the feeling on the Bioshock one. Seeing the LGBTQ+ represented as regular people, just being there together and not for any particular reason other than just existing as human beings in love is very effective, because, really, that's what we want to see.
Alba: A Wildlife Adventure, is a cute game that is based on a young girl who wants to make social change. So she gets to work on stopping developers turning her island into a massive tourist area with hotels, among recording local wildlife species and helping them out. Like unbeaching a dolphin etc. But at one point, you can look up among the apartments and see various Progressive Pride Flags. It was a stunning touch. The game also contributes to planting trees with proceeds from sales.
I'm a fan.
Hi editing Jake! nice to see you! love having a video from you to make my Sunday a bit better
🥤 <3
Thanks for bringing the LGBTQ Game Archive to my attention! I need to read up on Sabin in FFVI. I'd love to know if he's intentionally queer-coded, or if it was just a set of coincidences.
Loved the video. It’s nice to see some warming and positive representations in games. Happy Easter 🐣 🥤
someone's gett'n a cup 🥤🥤🥤🥤🥤🥤
🥤 Loved the video!
No chocolate today; only Peeps! 😀
i really understand that feeling of being seen. more recently, i played the amazing game hades and i immediately noticed that all the characters referred to chaos with they/them pronouns and i was very touched because as a non-binary person i’ve seen 1 maybe 2 examples of representation in media so every piece of stuff like this really make me feel seen.
🥤🥤🥤🥤🥤🥤🥤
Multiple cups for how refreshing this was.
Adorable. 😁
Really enjoyed this! Esp number 10. I also hadn’t known about the Bioshock Infinite couple too, that’s super cool.
Queer characters just existing is good content. They’re JUST there, people ARE gay! Here they are!
1:50Nice!
Come to me
🏳️🌈🥚🥤
Happy Easter
