The most immediate example I can think of was called "Subverse," which was directly advertised as some sort of anti-SJW (I think it was called that at the time because woke/DEI weren't quite in common use yet) awooga pandering game where you played some boring ego insert that had a space harem that marked as many safe dopamine boxes for boring nerds as possible to pander to freeze-gamer gaters and cater to their cooming needs.

The game was boring. Full stop. It was boring. The gameplay itself was shallow and uninspired, and even the le sexy sex scenes were boring according to the general assessment of the very same treat hogs it was targeted to pander toward.

"Yandere Simulator" would count if that steaming pile of irradiated shit ever actually got completed. It was like Star Citizen for kiddie creeping weeb gooners, but less profitable.

The problem the reactionaries have is that they can't write fictional sexy content without it becoming kink while at the same time they view all kink as leftist/sjw unless it is straight "traditional" pandering shit. They make an exception for this when they're consuming it as pure pornography, like hentai or whatever, because your porn consumption is "secret" and that's ok. Liking femboys or queer or bdsm or ntr cuckoldry hentai is fine in that "secret" consumption. But outside of that? BAD. Kink is not something REAL MEN do.

So when they put anything sexual outside the "secret" porn setting, it becomes bland and boring as fuck.

This is some sort of shame thing going on. It ultimately relinquishes all sexuality in media outside of pornography to the left. awooga Eye candy is probably the only thing they allow or have going in most of their games, and even then it's kinda dull, boring, and uninspired. Men in full suits of armour while women wear bikini-armour, that kind of thing. But that's not the same thing as a raunchy scene that actually tries to do something interesting.

You could write some really good stuff that panders to them but they'd be embarrassed and ashamed about it and would have extremely mixed emotions about it being more than their "secret" porn. Because, let's be real, they have a lot of kinks that aren't just vanilla trad cath shit. They're just ashamed of it.

I'm still baffled by the very long chud tradition of them being really horny for what they call (CW: transphobic fetish words)

spoiler"futas" and "removed" and "traps"
and the like but also violently hating trans people and expressing a desire to harm them.

So when they put anything sexual outside the "secret" porn setting, it becomes bland and boring as fuck.

That's an amazing observation, and now I can see it practically anywhere chuds indulge themselves or pander to each other without those bothersome "wokes" actually making things that entertain them.

Men in full suits of armour while women wear bikini-armour, that kind of thing.

Marvel brain is a fuck. Plastic people, often lacking sensuality but sometimes being really horny in (SV-coded) bursts.

[-] Awoo@hexbear.net 14 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Domination thing perhaps. I can't really say for sure. Power? It's similar to misogyny in that the more they hate women the more they consume violent and humiliating sexual content against women.

[-] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 16 points 1 week ago

Lots of old fashioned anti-black bigots consume lots of interracial porn of the most "cuck"/SV kind, and that's reflected in the internet data coming out of pretty much any GOP convention (alongside gay hookups and the like) that might come to town.

All that repression and shame isn't healthy.

Huh. This has helped shine a light on why the audience for fetish art tends to have a lot fewer CHUDs than people would expect. They're probably still there, but they just never share their CHUD opinions.

[-] Awoo@hexbear.net 9 points 1 week ago

It's interesting! I don't have all the answers about exactly the causes of this but the observation is fairly clear when you think about it.

Not a game but the entire chud straight-to-home-video movie market is an exercise in giving guys like Kevin Sorbo and Kirk Cameron a job while nobody else knows or cares.

[-] ComradeLove@hexbear.net 10 points 1 week ago

Oh yeah, I used to want to make a homemade mst3k riff track for God is not Dead. I never saw it, but I remember so much of how it was described to me. An atheist professor winds up going to Hell through his pride and refusal to accept Jesus. Some Muslim girl realizes Jesus is the prophet that she is compelled by faith to follow. The atheist guy gets pwnd in class by some Christian student. He was also an atheist because he was "mad at God", something about God didn't save his mother from dying. Anyway, this needs 2 nerds explaining fallacies and making counter arguments, thus all who hear it will give up their superstitious world views and take up the cause of rationality.

[-] FourteenEyes@hexbear.net 21 points 1 week ago

I mean the go-to counter argument for "get woke go broke" is Nike's Colin Kaepernick ad campaign that made like $11 billion

[-] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 13 points 1 week ago

I know there's plenty of "woke" material, capitalist-woke and otherwise, that is quite successful. There's so much of it that I specifically wanted to see more chud pandering failures instead.

[-] KobaCumTribute@hexbear.net 18 points 1 week ago

"Yandere Simulator" would count if that steaming pile of irradiated shit ever actually got completed.

I remember seeing a dev log of that forever ago and thinking "lmao, he's really getting into the whole depraved psychopath character to narrate this huh?" and it was the least surprising development ever when it came out that no, he really was just a creep and an absolute piece of shit.

[-] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 18 points 1 week ago

Between that creep, Matt Stone and Trey Parker, Justin Roiland, and "method actors" like bateman-ontological and Jared Leto, the old saying about "we are who we pretend to be" feels more and more true over time.

[-] FourteenEyes@hexbear.net 14 points 1 week ago

What's really funny is that while he was making it somebody else was able to make a game with the same concept and release it in like 6 months and it was supposedly better

[-] KobaCumTribute@hexbear.net 12 points 1 week ago

I hadn't heard that but I'm really not surprised. The YandereDev guy had no relevant skills for making a game and as I understand it relied heavily on just copying tutorials and getting people from his discord to do bits and pieces of it for him, same with the art being free assets and stuff he got his "fans" to make for him.

[-] doublepepperoni@hexbear.net 18 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Ironically there are no anti-woke games done by major studios since it would be actual financial suicide to cater to that crowd

[-] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 13 points 1 week ago

I guess the biggest anti-woke game in recent memory was the wizard gestapo nostalgia treat extravaganza where you can be a nice or less nice magic pogrom enjoyer.

[-] doublepepperoni@hexbear.net 13 points 1 week ago

I don't think that game even qualifies. Had it come out in like 2017 chuds wouldn't have given a shit about the game

[-] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 15 points 1 week ago

Culture war fronts are all about timing.

If the 1980s Aliens movie came out today as a brand new entry, the chuds would crusade against it and probably doxx and stalk the actors involved for years. frothingfash

I have actually heard directly from cyberpunkerinos treat hogs that the Major was "ruined by wokeness" in later versions. You know, ones where she had more agency and talked and thought about things other than "oh, looks like it's time to tear my clothes off again to go invisible" fanservice contrivances. Even scarier once the story made it clear that the Major's original biological form was unclear in both ethnicity and gender and that ultimately that no longer mattered. pronouns pathetic

wow, an example of material existence influencing ethereal essence through precedence. Woke French existentialist philosophy

[-] GenderIsOpSec@hexbear.net 10 points 1 week ago

it's because, again, chuds only have skin deep understanding of everything. They don't understand eroticism at all, they just go "big tits, big hips, this good" this is honestly very visible in any porn game or some such that allows you to create the characters, all of them are incredibly uninspired buckets filled with all the things they think are hot, with no rhyme or reason.

I'm reminded of coming across a rule 34 animation that didnt actually show anything nsfw, it just implied sex. It was a clever work with camera angles, shadows and paper walls. There were so many chuds really fucking mad for "being deceived" it was hilarious

It's not really an "assumption," but here are some reasons:

It features a female character who is:

  1. Normal
  2. Pretty.
  3. Sexy.
  4. Feminine.
  5. Doesn't dress & look & behave like a man and/or androgynous being.

All those things are extremely anti-SJW, as SJWs hate all of those things vehemently and constantly demand that they be removed from all games and that no woman should ever be allowed to be those things.

And to a large extent, they have succeeded in achieving that goal, and successfully uglified, masculinized, and androgynized all female characters in ~95% of modern games.

Hence why games like the Vagrant and the ones cited in the OP are now the rare exception rather than the rule.

By the way, if you know of any anti-SJW games to contribute to the list, please add them. :)

Of fucking course le Subverse got brought up immediately after this hog oinking.

[-] SkingradGuard@hexbear.net 15 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Maybe Kingdom Come Deliverance was the opposite ? The devs are all your standard euroid fascists

[-] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 15 points 1 week ago

It was pretty successful, so I wouldn't count it as a "go fash no cash" failure.

Besides, its fandom is so malignant that I run the risk of heated-gamer-moment experiences here if I talk too harshly about that oh so "historically accurate 2 week jail sentences for murdering a lord's guards" treat.

[-] SkingradGuard@hexbear.net 13 points 1 week ago

I remember the devs stated black people didn't exist at all in europe even as travellers. Pretty fash.

[-] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 14 points 1 week ago

Almost all "historical accuracy" involves us-foreign-policy and ignoring Moorish Spain as thoroughly as possible, as well as Mansa Munsa and for that matter the legend of Prester John. It was all a big ye olde flashbang for everyone.

[-] TechnoUnionTypeBeat@hexbear.net 13 points 1 week ago

To me, people doing flashbang in their fantasy betrays a complete and utter lack of creativity

The hogs that love this shit will ho wild over centuries of fake lore about every random dipshit, but borders are still hard and immutable so that even world spanning empires had zero internal movement

Like fuck I remember reading somewhere once that Romans specifically sent their auxiliary troops as far from their homeland as possible to avoid desertion/refusal to fight their countrymen. You're telling me with how many fantasy Romes exist, they were all fully cracker except for a single token "exotic" character? I basically have stopped reading the vast majority of white male fantasy authors and I say this as a white guy, this shit boring as hell

[-] Landsharkgun@midwest.social 9 points 1 week ago

My tidbit to add is that when the Mongols got to Europe and encountered stone castles that were harder to siege, they solved the problem by bringing in seige engineers....from China.

They were doing that stuff on the reg. One of their demanded tributes was, essentially, skilled workers as slaves. They were very aware that they had a very particular skillset that didn't translate well to everything. So they took what they needed to run their empire and put it wherever it was needed - even if it was someone who knew how to e.g. do algebra.

[-] EmmaGoldman@hexbear.net 11 points 1 week ago

I love how the Letter from Prester John was basically the original viral hoax. Part-way between a scam letter and spam, and it got turned into basically a chain letter for 500 years.

Incredible trolling.

Prester John needs to move a lot of gold very quickly but needs the key to your granary to make it happen bait

Does the my-hairdo game count? I guess it sold a fuckload but seems to have fallen off, and Warner Bros was yapping about big console games being so unstable and unprofitable, lol.

[-] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 12 points 1 week ago

It had a big up-front surge from wagon circling status quo warriors that wanted to rally in defense of their precious unexamined childhood treats (you know, virtue signaling with a performative gesture), and yes that made it profitable, but it did fall of pretty damn fast, so I say it counts.

Maybe ashes of the singularity, the engine is amazing, it had so much potential. But the story is brainworms, and even if you buy that, it's bland and uninteresting.

In the end it didn't get the attention it could have had. Yes, part of that was the insane system requirements, but it was also the dog shit packaging.

[-] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 19 points 1 week ago

The human race has expanded into the galaxy thanks to the wonders of the technological singularity. You have become so powerful that you can manage vast armies across an entire world that provide you with an ever greater galactic empire.

Now, humanity is under assault by a new enemy. Calling themselves the Substrate, they seek to annihilate the human race from existence. You, as an up and coming member of the Post-Human Coalition, must deal with both this new menace as well as renegade humans trying to lay claim to their own worlds.

"Annihilate the human race from existence?" Holy shit, they intend to kill humans to death! :AgonyTeacher:

[-] Formerlyfarman@hexbear.net 19 points 1 week ago

Its much worse than you think. It's all silicon valley ideology about how these characters modeled after venture capitalists are so smart and the next step for humanity. Not even the hogs eat that slop any more.

[-] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 16 points 1 week ago

Do you have some curated examples of that? The writing's already so bad that it'd be painful for me to dredge around to find it myself.

I take it the enemy factions are straw commies or dae le space bugs or something.

[-] SpiderFarmer@hexbear.net 10 points 1 week ago

I forgot that game was a thing. There really are better options out there if you're a pervert.
