Dismantling Stigma in Interactive Digital Literature

It is WEDNESDAY 1

Stigmas affect people in ways we do not expect. "It is WEDNESDAY" is excellent at conveying these issues with stigmas to its audience. For instance, the image below is early in the game when the main character wants to talk to their partner, but it does not end well. The main character being a part of the lgbt appears to have put some strain on their relationship. The player character was not entirely prepared for it. This divide in their relationship has negatively affected both of them. The partner is also included in those that put a stigma label on the main character. This shows how stigmatization can even appear in normal relationships. It is like a position that tries to creep into every crevice. That is why "It is WEDNESDAY" is a fantastic game on stigma.
