【BBC听力】《梦幻老爹》荣登在线游戏商店最畅销游戏 Oh, it's the sexy slice from bef

Oh, it"s the sexy slice from before. It"s the brooding man from the Coffee Spoon. So first things first, why did you want to make a game about dating gay dads? Dads and dad jokes are something that is going to be funny to a lot of people and we can use that comedy to tell a narrative that we think is important. And then what we think is important to us is telling a LGBT narrative that people could relate to and that people could find is fun and funny and just enjoyable. You know it"s very easy in comedy to punch down and I think that"s a really lazy form of humor that comedy writers rely on a lot and that"s something that I steer away from in my work. But especially as a queer woman like I know what hurts and it"s so much more interesting and fun to try to write jokes that come from a place of positivity.

It was absolutely meant to be a LGBT title. Just the idea of a game for people who might not have a game that is representative of them. I think it originally branched from creating something that was kind of revolving around dad jokes and dad culture, but the further we got into it, we realized it would kind be disingenuous for it to not be sensitive about these issues. And as a queer woman, it was really important to me that we were able to tell a queer story that"s light-hearted and fun and silly and respectful of the themes in the game. Do you think a game like this could become as popular as it has done 10 years ago? I don"t think it could have been as successful 10 years ago, partially because we"ve become a lot more open to LGBT stories, but also because of the way that we share things on the internet. There are a lot of organically shareable elements to it. So instead of us doing an advertisement or a trailer, it was a lot of people drawing fan art, writing fun fiction, making memes about the game or posting screen captures.

参考译文

哦，这不是以前来过的那个性感男吗。这是汤匙咖啡店的沉思男。重要的事情最先说，为什么你们想要创作一个约会同性恋爸爸的游戏？对于很多人来说，爸爸和有关爸爸的笑话都很逗乐，我们可以用这样的喜剧讲述一个我们认为重要的故事。对于我们来说，我们认为重要的是，讲述一个有关同性恋群体的故事，人们可以从中找到共鸣，同时，人们会觉得这个故事有趣，逗乐并且纯粹是一种享受。你知道我们很容易就想出一出喜剧，这种懒人幽默是喜剧作家经常使用的，但是我会在我的创作中避免使用它。因为作为一个女酷儿，我知道什么会有伤痛，如果尝试从一个积极的角度去写笑话，会更加有意思也更令人开心。这完完全全是一个为同性恋群体设计的游戏。游戏的初衷是因为可能还没有一款游戏是反映这个群体的。我想这款游戏一开始是围绕有关爸爸的笑话和爸爸文化创造出来的，但是当我们把内容挖掘得越深，就越认识到，如果我们不对同性恋有关的话题保持敏感性，是不真诚的。我们有能力用轻松的，有趣的，傻傻的，尊重主题的态度讲述一个有关酷儿的故事，这对一个女酷儿我来说是非常重要的。你是否认为类似这样的游戏会像10年前那样火？我不认为它会像10年前那样火，部分原因是因为我们现在对同性恋故事的态度比以前开放多了，还有我们在互联网上分享的这种方式和以前不同。网上有很多和这款游戏有关的可共享的感官性元素作品。所以不像是我们发广告或者做预告片，很多人是创作粉丝绘画，撰写粉丝小说，制作和游戏有关的衍生品或是发布游戏截图。
