DEI doesn't mean that, in this case ESL is being literal: The player character, if they taunt Himari and make her suck them off at one point in the game, gets turned into a thai masseuse or prostitute and loses the ability to speak proper English.
I mean the developer is trans so if you view trans rights or sex positivity as "political" then you could say it's "political"
In reality it's not. It's just kinda preachy. The closest to "political" it actually is is the same anti-capitalism politics you would expect from a satire of reality shows. Ever seen The Running Man? That one Doctor Who 9th Doctor episode where he gets stuck in a bunch of reality TV shows? Yeah, same thing.
It's just got feature creep so the message is diluted as fuck.
There's no "DEI" or "politics" here beyond the obvious anti-capitalism message, just a really preachy porn game with too many number puzzles. But if you're into that, it's fine.
Meh, judging from what others have said I'll think I'll pass. I mean by all means, have a message in your game, but to be preachy in a friggin
porn game of all things is curious because that's the area where many trans people criticize. It's just weird, plus leaning into the gimmicky shemale side would mean bigger bucks, in my opinion.
Also still don't know what ESL means, lol. What is it a abbreviation for?
goddamn it. i just wanted to see the wamen have big boobs is all shimmy jebeezes. whats this trans crap. boobies
Wowsa, this man might be onto something! The modern day Pluto.
No offence taken. Unlike those people, I can actually understand that people have different opinions and perspectives without the need to shove my own down everyone's throat as a way of "forced acceptance" of my lifestyle choice. Because there's no better way for a marginalized demographic to be respected and accepted than to be annoying as fuck at every given opportunity.
Also to stay "on topic", I think a lot of the negativity surrounding the game comes from the fact that there's not really any way to get early access builds here without actually paying for them because the dev included retarded online DRM that phones home. Like a certain other dev I know that rhymes with "pie-thorp".
Wait, what?! Oh no no no, was thinking of downloading this game but FUCK THAT, that's invasive as fuck, I just thought it pulled your username from your computer, which is still invasive as fuck but I can ignore that potentially, unlike
that.
And also thank you, that take is refreshing. Like I accept and adore those people, but damn man can that same demographic be the most toxic and condescending weirdos that you can ever meet.
Trans gender people refer to non trans people as cis. The letters took me a minute, but AMAB stands for assigned male at birth and AFAB stands for assigned female at birth. A philosophy that I vehemently disagree with.
I agree the developer greatly diminished the amount of people that will want to play it by leaning so heavily into trans ideology and by retconning Abigail as a trans individual. It cost my interest. I am glad they are creating a game that they enjoy and wish them the best. I'm not part of the 1% though, lol.
Hell, it COULD work if the writing was better, but what I seen it's basically Pride Parade: The Game, and no not even in the sexy kinky way. It's just SO WEIRD to preach morals in a kinky porn game. Well to also have DRM in it too but yeah.
forced DRM in a game like this is usually a sign the dev is a "control freak" and insecure, and i know who you are talking about.
I don't but I'll research it. But yeah, control freak devs + feature creep is a good combo to kill your game, especially with a sprinkling of trans ideology.
Gotta love how gooners who are into shit, piss and rape get triggered by a game mentioning that transgender people exist. LOL.
Considering everything that was mentioned above, the trans part isn't the problem, it's how it's done. It turns cisoids like me away and is off-putting to any transperson not deep into the retarded ideological koolaid.
