McRae (any pronouns) are queer supervillains. I asked them about faerself and xyr content, as well as content ey’ve been enjoying recently. You can check out McRae at the links at the end of the interview.
- What queer terminology do you use for yourself publicly, offline and / or online? Do not feel pressured to come out as anything in your answer. Please only disclose whatever you’re comfortable with.
- Demisexual.
- What non-queer demographic terminology do you use for yourself? (nationality, wealth, ethnicity, race, disability / ability, neurotype, age, education, occupation, for example). Again, please only disclose whatever you’re comfortable with.
- I’m a big bald white dude, my intersectionalities often lie in poverty.
- What content do you produce?
- I have a book coming out July 2022, and I’m the Creative Director for The Wicked & Fun Co. which currently produces three shows over on Twitch.tv/Something5e.
- My writing, educator, and DnD stuff can be found over at www.McRaeWrites.com.
- What do you enjoy doing when you’re not creating content?
- I love creating content, but making art of all mediums, playing games with friends and snowboarding, when I can!
- What does the queer community needs to do better about understanding, accepting, and supporting?
- I find sometimes the siloing effect of the LGBTQ+ community can create some othering situations. Obviously I’m very masculine presenting, but as much as I question and lean closer and closer to non-binary presentations, the Sapphic community will always give me shit and be somewhat hostile, I think. Much akin to the battles between second and fourth wave feminism.
- I also tend to butt heads with people because I watched over the past decade how call-out versus call-in culture and the proliferation of the former literally caused Trumpism and hurt a lot of people indirectly over time. So I fiercely advocate for calling-in and absolutely reject calling-out.
- What are you excited about going forward? Can be anything from creative projects, personal or professional milestones, etc.
- We have a number of projects in the works that will be fun to film, even if the nature of the series gives those projects firm ending points.
- I’m also excited to build a New media Empire, consume the zeitgeist, and fix all of humanities’ problems by educating the masses through art.
- Are there any pets or plants in your life?
- I love my garden, despite it being stripped down this year and mostly my perennials.
- I want a couple of dogs so bad but I refuse to get any if I can’t give them a life they truly deserve and I can train them right.
- What content creators have you been enjoying recently?
- You’ll mostly see me in the chat over on Tabletop Tiddies stream on Tuesdays. I have feelers out for possible proteges as we build our studio from scratch
- I’ve also been grateful for Unsummoned Skull AKA JRO building his magic community, just for having a place to playtest decks for my show “The Brewery” every Monday.
- And of course, I’m a sucker for Critical Role because I have a not so secret crush on Matthew Mercer.
- What is your favorite thing about yourselves?
- The Superpower Suite.
