Feminism and Video Games: A Combination that Should be a Thing

Opinion by Carter Solomon, Image by Julia Volzke

I play video games. I don’t play them religiously. Well, not anymore at least. The pressing nature of my junior semester, ownership of my first dog and infatuation with reading and writing for pleasure, your stereotypical English major activity, I suppose, get in the way of my shameless “wasting of my life in front of a screen” as my parents call it.
