About This Website
This website contains Inigo Macey's work from the R4B Meme and Human class taught by Professor Carmen Acevedo-Butcher. Project 1 is an autoethnographic essay centered on Inigo's experience navigating their non-binary identity. Projects 2 and 3 are a prospectus essay and research paper respectively that represent some of Inigo's semester-long research into the video game franchise Metal Gear and its relationship to the military-entertainment complex. Their Project 3 specifically focused on how the two-sided relationship between the player and the player character Raiden in Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty drives the game's arguments about how the military-entertainment complex affects people's perspectives through military video games. They are also planning to continue this research in the future.
