摘要

本文将对流媒体网站“YouTube”上5个最受欢迎的复古游戏频道进行定性分析，以了解过去的游戏概念是如何影响到现在的。研究结果表明，内容创作者利用个人历史和老生常谈的讨论来呈现有关过去产品的信息内容。然而，这些账户往往处于特权和性别账户中，这表明了索尔特和布洛杰特所说的“有毒的极客男子气概”。尽管看似无害，但这些叙述可能会阻碍那些不符合主流游戏规范的边缘化个体进入游戏社区。

Privileging the Past: Problematic and Gendered Rhetoric in Retrogaming Content

This paper presents qualitative analysis of 5 of the most popular retrogaming channels on the streaming site “YouTube” to understand how notions of gaming past are brought to bear on the present. Findings suggest that content creators draw upon personal histories and well-trodden discussions to present informational content about products of the past. However, these accounts are often situated in privileged and gendered accounts that are indicative of what Salter and Blodgett term “Toxic Geek Masculinity”[29]. Although seemingly innocuous, these narratives potentially contribute to barriers of entry into the gaming community for marginalized individuals that do not fit within the hegemonic gaming norm.
