Jenna I love your analysis, keep doing more like this! One thing I can add is that deer, at least of the whitetail variety, are as close to domesticated as most -wild animals- get (at least here in the midwest) and so they are thought of as relatively harmless. Compared to a predator like a cougar, wolf, or bear that is still wild but threatening, deer represent the parts of nature that humans like to think represent us best, as you said the -peaceful coexistence-.

I guess this is a some sort of reaction to our current issue with Nature like Climate Change and Extinction of species around the world? We're calling out subconsciously to see Nature's beauty and serenity and to harmonize with it? Oh. And they say Video games aren't art.

I really missed FiendZone this week so thank you for giving me good analysis, even if it's without a direct horror connection. I saw y'all making jokes about deer in trailers but I had no idea it was so prevalent. Loved this!

I get the feeling that not a single one of these games would allow us to pet the deer, and I am preemptively outraged and disheartened about it.
And no, not even Forza would let us gently pet a deer with our car tires.

These are great! Please do one about prosthetic or weird arms because there were also a lot at E3 (not as much as deer) and think it'd be cool video.

The deer in halo is an absolutely important location marker for where the game is set according to the lore.
