It started with a real life story. One of Mark Duval’s female friends was studying in a games development course. When the female teacher walked in to teach, one of the male students shot up his hand and asked for a male teacher, because a woman couldn’t possibly know anything about games development. That story got Mark Duval thinking about some of the issues women have to face in the games industry.
The end result was the above mockumentary — Dudebro. A video shot for Mark’s TAFE class, stylistically it feels a little bit like Chris Lilley’s Summer Heights High, and it touches on a few things: sexism, homophobia, the language we tend to use whilst playing games.
Well worth watching.
