The 36th GLAAD Media Awards celebrated nominees for outstanding LGBTQ representation in video games, including titles like Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door and Dragon Age: The Veilguard. Notably, the 2024 remake of Paper Mario reinstates and affirms Vivian's identity as a trans woman, correcting an omission from its original English release. This change reflects a broader trend of increased visibility and representation in video games, particularly from major developers like Nintendo and BioWare, which traditionally had gaps in their LGBTQ narratives.
Caravan SandWitch, Dragon Age: The Veilguard, Dread Delusion, Dustborn, Fear the Spotlight, Life is Strange: Double Exposure, Minds Beneath Us, Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, and Sorry We're Closed are nominated for their LGBTQ representation.
Nintendo's remake of Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door explicitly acknowledges Vivian as a trans woman, marking a significant change from its first release where this aspect was omitted.
