Steam, lemmy and reddit are currently creaming themselves over a game which devs makes multiple really cringe "jokes" about slavery and exploitation. Read the steam page descriptions.

Those "pals" are clearly antropomorphised creatures being dogwhistle for humans. And if you read the game reviews, even the g*mers are not lost on that fact (just they love that):

Edit: I was going to originally just leave this here cause I didn't wanna bother responding to someone using purposefully misrepresenting arguments about PokΓ©mon but I mentioned it being my special interest not cause "it's above criticism" but cause I know what I'm talking about more than someone using PETA level arguments.

You don't know what you're talking about, so I have nothing to argue with you, I'd rather just block you cause you've already made your mind up about it and talking about it in discussion is pointless because it's your uninformed opinion anyway. πŸ€·πŸΏβ€β™‚οΈ
