I'm pretty sure I don't want to. I am thus far AIDS free and I would like to keep it that way.

Is the argument, boiled down, that Americans obsession with Japanese things means they ruined video game aesthetics in the same way artist obsession with homosexuals ruined art?

Yes
for Sedgwick (2008), camp provides a corrective (pp.147-9). The present
is not so bleak as I have perhaps made it seem, nor was the past so rosy. It
is neither possible nor desirable to recreate the conditions that nurtured a
camp subculture among 1990s console gamers, based as that culture was
on technological limitations, underdeveloped channels of communication
and distribution and the problematic fetishization of reified notions of
Japaneseness. Equally, the trajectory from camp to kitsch that my title
proposes is too reductive. If that title is framed as a question, it is because I
intend not merely to leave my proposition open to dispute, but to highlight
the pernicious appeal of such binarized thinking, underwritten as it tends to
be by uninterrogated assumptions and attachments. For if new technologies
facilitate kitsching, they also have other uses. '''Independent games are
thriving thanks to online promotion and distribution platforms, middleware
technologies are enabling amateurs to code innovative, personal games, and
while player research can have a normative effect it can also ''testify to the
complexity and variety of gameplay experience (Lindley & Nacke, 2009).'
Looking back at bygone gaming subcultures, in short, need not make us too nostalgic —but it should remind us of the importance of providing spaces for
new, queer forms of play to flourish.
