Abstract
Foul Videogame Subculture was an independent magazine published by Multimedia 1.0, a video game store in New York. The magazine attempted to cover video games from an edgy, explicit angle celebrating "every sin imaginable" (issue 8, p.6). Most content in Foul is deliberately offensive, sexist, and obscene, at times verging into hate speech and pornography.
