      You have to be so fucking direct and didactic with these knuckleheads, any indirect glancing shots are going to be rationalized away or ignored. You literally have Disco Elysium screaming communism and Marx quotes in a decaying dead-end capitalist shithole world and they still deny that the game has any type of leftist themes.

    What’s even funnier is that this is basically the only hint that Claire is trans. There’s a line in her ingame bio that mentions it, but unless you look it up, at no point does any of her dialogue mention that she’s trans. She doesn’t even have a trans flag on her outfit or anywhere visible behind the bar she works at.

    She is as far removed from “shoved in your face” as a trans character could possibly get.

    Weird, when I do escapism to “escape the realities of the modern world” the things I’m trying to escape are exploitation, depression, bills, getting old, existential fears of death, the tragic world historical defeat of the 20th century communist movement and collapse of the USSR and victory of capitalism, my taxes paying to kill Palestinians and Russians and Syrians and Iraqis and Iranians, etc. etc. You know, actually terrible things that weigh upon my soul that I would like to relieve for a moment so that I can continue to function.

    When chuds want to “escape the realities of the modern world” they literally just mean blue haired SJWs and black people.

      JAQing off as usual. Probably have second accounts to act stupid and post stuff “in good faith” so it doesn’t get out-right removed and people in the comments can emit their hitler particles in full force.

    What is up with the “mu escape from reality argument” these g*mers like to use?

    I get wanting to escape from the hellhole we live in but why is it so disturbing for you to find transpeople in your games? Are you implying that their mere existence makes you uncomfortable? Is this just a massive self report?

      Me when the story telling organization’s imagination isn’t meticulously curated to be a clear prism that takes in ideas from the ether without interpreting them based on lived experience, understanding of the world, or any other interaction with realityfrothingfash

      Except Tetris kind of for some reason.

    Man angry because thing that exists in real life exists in video game world. If escapism is the goal, should we just remove humans from video game worlds entirely?

      Tetris-like games only from here on out. But get rid of the long rectangle because it looks too much like Kissinger.

    “We will literally murder you if you don’t share our delusions about talking snakes and the wizard in the sky, but your nonconformity is what’s being crammed down people’s throats.”

    The normies still haven’t figured out that free speech applies to unpopular opinions too.
