Putting 'politics' before gameplay.

Bland, caricature characters that exist solely to represent a certain group of people or the creator's self-insert.

Uninspired, derivative 'slop' gameplay that's been done better in a thousand other games.

Ugly art style with unappealing characters (unless it's AI generated, but still even then sometimes).

Dreadful, uninteresting, writing. Cringey, preachy dialogue. Painfully unfunny jokes.

And, of course, they always flop HARD and/or aren't remembered and/or talked about post launch

Chuds can't create. Only co-opt, plagiarise, and destroy.

It's not like making a video game with reactionary politics is hard or unique either. CoD did it every year for over a decade. It's just that this particular brand of chud gets really angry about their perceived enemies and that prevents them from having their politics just be a natural part of the game and turns it into an over the top screed.

the ancient chapo bit about chuds being bad at comedy because they get too mad at the premise of their own joke, and it distracts them from delivering a punchline
