Abstract

With a background of being a male-dominated subculture, games and game culture is currently in a shift where the idea of a gamer is being challenged. In this chapter, we discuss gender constructions (as a cis-woman and cis-man respectively) in a specific context through our shared duoethnographic experiences of the multiplayer game Fallout 76. We discuss changing hegemonic gender structures based on texts such as Connell (1985; 1987; 2021), Connell & Messerschmidt (2005), Messerschmidt (2012; 2018) and Duncanson (2015) as well as relevant game research in this field.
