  • There has to be a point, first. It’s just the old “go woke, go broke” nonsense. It’s the recycled conservative pearl clutching that has always come in when society starts to include those ‘nasty outsiders’. (Minorities.)

    Let’s say I entertain the possibility that there is a point.

    ->Baldur’s Gate 3. . Very ‘woke’. Amazing game.

    ->Concord Arguably ‘woke’. Crappy game.

    Let’s go with a game that flopped and wasn’t advertised as ‘inclusive’ Anthem.

    Let’s entertain this further to /really/ drive some nails into the coffin of this ‘point’.

    Celeste, a game heavy with queer tones to tell the story. Great game, very popular.

    So, that is why most people are walking by this with just a down vote. It’s all it really deserves, but I needed an easy win today. ~

    Hope life treats you well, Peace










  • Undertale: You’ve progressed through most of the game. You didn’t strike out at the monsters. You’ve done everything you could to avoid hurting those around you and yet strive for escape. Over and over You’ve been put up against a wall with your enemies striving to end you. You could fight back, you could react to this world of monsters and become like them, a monster.

    But you didn’t. You stand before a mirror in a house very similar to the one you were in at the start of the game. Looking into the mirror, you are affirmed.

    “Despite everything. It’s still you.”

    Despite everything I’ve gone through. Despite the hunger and gnawing to give in. To respond to the hatred and harm that has been inflicted on me with fury and bloodlust equal to the twisted delight others have taken in my suffering. I didn’t give in. I didn’t lose my joy in making others smile. I didn’t give up my interests and the rare and disparate moments of joy.

    Despite everything. It’s still me. I’m still here. I’m not a monster.
