Wait WTF do you mean I can hit kids but can't muff dive?!

This is the worst thing I've read all day

Edit: So I tried doing what I always do when I see one of these outrage farming video titles saying the woke games media is having a "meltdown" and tried to find evidence of said meltdown, and... yeah, couldn't find any. Some early access reviews have criticised the character editor for lack of gender and body customisation options but nothing that would qualify as a massive backlash

I can't believe it shocked-pikachu

So I'm not a video game type but I know a few girlies who were excited for this one and were really disappointed that there are no gay NPCs. So you can make your character gay in the character creator, but if you do then you have no one to date because every NPC is straight. They're not outraged or anything, they just went back to the Sims lol.

It gives you the option to try and romance everyone, but they all reject it outside of hetero. When you first encounter an zoi of the same sex, there is a romance bar shown, it just never fills up. Seems like something that's supposed to be there, but they haven't committed.

Ah, so the imaginary backlash is even more imaginary because it's just an unimplemented feature in an unfinished game

I wish I remembered the youtuber but it reminds me of his video about the "outrage" to the one doom sequel and it turns out all the outrage was one person with like 5 retweets mildly annoyed with something. It's what these outrage farmers do they just manufacture wholescale controversies real people don't give a shit about to sell bluechew advertisements.

Pretty sure that was Shaun. The thesis of his video IIRC was that, in the absence of evidence of people getting mad about video games, the post-gamergaters have simply invented a load of people in their heads.

That video's 6 years old? Jesus

[–] Enjoyer_of_Games@hexbear.net 3 points 1 week ago

it's only 24mins, remember 6 years ago when videos could be only 24mins?

The origional Japanese "backlash" to AC: Shadows was one guy from a political party that was being dissolved because they ran out of money doing a right-wing pivot to try to cling to relevancy.

muff dive

How you can instantly tell someone's either a boomer or has boomer ideology.

Also a massive self report to think its only something lesbian couples do.

"It's gay to eat pussy"

fellow-kids Hey kids, would you like to hear all about insert right-wing gaming grievance du jour

[–] dannoffs@hexbear.net 4 points 1 week ago (4 children)

Literally just putting something in a drop down menu is enough to confuse these idiots.

Can I make Mao

[–] Lemister@hexbear.net 1 points 1 week ago

It even has vilitgo, which is something that they hate a lot.

[–] Carl@hexbear.net 1 points 1 week ago

damn that looks like a good character creator, might check this game out

[–] SkingradGuard@hexbear.net 4 points 1 week ago

I didn't get the memo to be on the culture war for this one. soros isn't paying my cheques SMH

Wait WTF do you mean I can hit kids but can’t muff dive?!

I don't want to sex/virgin shame anyone, but everything about this guy just screams "I have never made a woman orgasm before."

I really hope this is just some edgy 13 year old who will grow out of it.

[–] doublepepperoni@hexbear.net 3 points 1 week ago

I think these reactionary influencers and wannabes are all grown-ass adults

Not sure today's 13-year-olds use the term muff diving either

[–] Lemister@hexbear.net 1 points 1 week ago

What they made inzoi into the new culture war approved game? Oh boy and here I thought that the sims 4 vs inzoi war was enough drama.
