Fishin’ for Average Caucasian Boyfriends

By Jackie Liu

Fishin’ for Average Caucasian Boyfriends is a semi-autobiographical Game Boy game about expectations, queerness, and the possibility of dreaming bigger. Based on a true conversation the artist had with her mom at a seafood restaurant, the game allows players to make the choice to fish–or not. What if we refuse to play the game? This game was developed as part of FREEPLAY!, a queer video games exhibit based in Richmond, Virginia.
