  • Methods of Intimacy in Fantasy Role-Playing Game Communities
    CONSTRUCTING ELYSIUM AND PLAYING UGLY: METHODS OF INTIMACY IN FANTASY ROLE-PLAYING GAME COMMUNITIES Genesis Marie Downey A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY August 2015 Committee: Radhika Gajjala, Advisor Lesa L. Lockford Graduate Faculty Representative Kristine Blair Sandra Faulkner © 2015 Genesis Marie Downey All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Radhika Gajjala, Advisor Using Johan Huizinga’s concept of the magic circle as a context for understanding how sacred spaces reserved for play manifest within role-playing game (RPG) environments both digital and table-top, this dissertation argues that while certain elements of the magic circle are still present, the vast amount of work produced to monitor the boundaries of sacred game space stem from the intimate relationships between players. Online RPG environments are open to critique due to the seemingly wide-spread use of hostility as a gate-keeping tactic. Numerous studies and digital media scholars have examined how bullying, harassment, and bodily threats present within toxic digital gaming cultures act as a means of limiting access to participation. Because marginalized players, whether due to gender, race, or sexual identity, are often playing in gaming environments that get coded as toxic, this dissertation chooses to interrogate the ways in which some players negotiate game environments that are complicated at best and overtly hostile at worst. While the dissertation is careful to note the distinctions between online RPGs and offline table-top RPGs, the core argument made stems from the consistencies present between both: both the online and table-top groups who participated in the study use tools of intimacy both actively and passively as a means of fostering individual as well as group identity.
