Hate speech is not an exceptional phenomenon, but a bitter reality on social networks. After presenting the prototype of our newly developed serious game rebelcatz, we discussed the potential of computer games in a digitalised society with games experts and the question of how we can use the medium of games to make socio-political issues more visible. The conclusion? Games offer qualities that other media cannot - interaction, a sense of agency and the opportunity to see things from a difference perspective.
