Wanted to include a link to @kit-foley ‘s post here about Josiah Crowley and how Nancy Drew games have and always will be political whether people want them to be or not.

@papenniesandbentoboxes also made a really good point about this on Instagram a few days back as well. Rae mentions the books, and why the games were created, including the different games with political issues in them.

Rae mentions SSH, but I just want to re-iterate how important that game is. I grew up in an extremely Christian, conservative, homeschooled household. I didn’t really meet people different from me. I grew up believing a lot of ignorant things. I didn’t play SSH fully until my teens, but I had played part of it at my cousin’s house when I was really young, maybe like 7 or 8, maybe even before that. I remember being worried, because Alejandro seemed too extreme to me, and was “spreading lies” about the US. I knew if my parents knew about it, they’d say something like “you shouldn’t be playing that game” and then I’d get it taken away, and if my parents thought something was bad, I should think it was bad too. And also, I thought I was suppose to agree with Nancy.

Later on when I actually played the game, I’d been exposed to more things and agreed with Alejandro, and was annoyed at how dumb they made Nancy sound. But later I realized that was on purpose; Nancy is wrong on purpose, she has an arc in that game and it’s purposefully trying to teach young players- players like me. Despite me initially not being receptive to the messaging, I think it stuck with me, and same for the other games.

Despite not always doing everything correctly, HeR always tried. They always tried to give you different perspectives and I am so so grateful to them for that, and I think I truly do owe a lot of who I am to Nancy and the games.

Anyways this got longer than expected and I always have more thoughts haha but if you guys have any specific moments/plots in the games that really resonated with you or taught you something as a kid I’d love to hear them!!!!!

Watching OUAT as an adult means I have the brainpower to contextualize everything in an even queerer way.
