Character from arcade game is one with disregard for social distancing? (5)
'character' is the definition.
(space is a kind of character)
I can't explain the remainder of the clue.
(Other definitions for space that I've seen before include "sci-fi theme" , "Cosmos" , "Gap; --- Oddity (Bowie)" , "Unfilled region" , "Empty area, may be outer" .)
'character from arcade game' is the definition.
'one with disregard for social distancing?' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'one' could be 'ace' ('ace' can be a synonym of 'one') and 'ace' is found in the answer.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).
'is' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
