Mortal Kombat, Saints Row, GTA - there are just no 1990s style edgy and politically incorrect western game franchises anymore (twitter.com)

nu MK is weird:

Women showing skin? Bad

Gore and violence so detailed that it gave PTSD to some dev? Good

That one is particular insane. The new mortal kombat games are legitimately disgusting in terms of gore. Fatalities have like 3-5 steps now, each more brutal than anything seen in early series entries, and all painstakingly rendered with ultra realistic detail. But god forbid a female character have large breasts or a revealing outfit.

Meanwhile, the very same type of people who won’t put a bikini in a mature-rated fighting video game are falling over themselves to explain the intricacies of anal sex to your grade schooler.

falling over themselves to explain the intricacies of anal sex to your grade schooler

The moral puritans want to sexualise your kids while desexualising adult content. It's only sexualisation (bad) when we- rational adults- do it. The hypocrisy alone fills me with rage; the child grooming makes me want to stock up on woodchippers.

Funny how a decade or two ago, leftists used to mock Christian conservatives for being against showing skin and nudity in media... Man times have changed

Not really. A few of the biggest proponents for censoring games then were Tipper Gore, Joe Lieberman and Hillary Clinton.

It's the age old dichotomy between western and eastern gaming.

In west, tits and ass is censored. Like Mortal Kombat.

In east, gore and blood is censored. Like RE2R.

I honestly don’t get it. They used to mock Christians who had objections to edgy content, now they are the moral majority

Because Christians just object to the content, they don't go down and firebomb the offices, drag out the workers and decapitate them in the name of God. Nor do they send endless litigation through barely believable stories that if the company attempts to fight will get them branded as supporting rapists.

It's no wonder the only religion that gets made fun of is Christianity, because all the others will straight up kill you.

DOOM didn't really change (in spirit) but it's not quite what I mean.

DOOM eternal has a joke about Earth being a melting pot of the universe as it's being invaded by literal demons. I'm surprised they got away with that.

Last one? Youngblood? He had twin daughters, not a son.

Also, it sucked for many reasons not just the politics but there's that too. They couldn't dismiss the criticisms as le triggered "nazi" snowflake thing (they tried and it didn't work) it's just a completely cynical soulless half-assed turd with out-of-place synthwave stylings when that iron has long since ceased to be hot.

In the original canon his son grandson was Commander Keen (whose son was Doomguy).

Cuckstar has been dead since gta5. Only indie devs have spines. Fuck the entire triple a industry. We need a video game crash and every studio and publisher to fold and die. I don't care what casualties happen along the way, burn it all, especially the Asian game market then from the ahes let the Indies rise.

I'd like to see an HD Shadow Warrior remake that keeps all the original content. That's something we know will never happen.

Yeah, I was really looking forward to the next installment until I saw (and heard) the trailer. No thank you.

Indeed, 1990's-style stuff certainly was more popular and common in the 1990's.

Makes perfect sense when you consider who the typical audience for these types of games are. Blacks and white boys who wish they were black love GTA, fighting games, and sports games although sports games weren't mentioned.

Liberals, gays, blacks it's all the same thing. These companies simply know their audience.

Black guys who are into fighting games are seldom Sonic Fox types.

I'm not going to admit to knowing who that is. Sounds like a furry, tho.

My general point is if your hobby is in any way "urban" be prepared for it to get real gay.

Go to r/kappa to see the black dominated FGC culture.

Sorry to break it to you but r/kappa and the online FGC's long been contaminated and overturned by the same kind of progressivism that prevails across all reddit. Just look at how they unpersoned gootecks.

You see this same pattern a lot on old "counter culture." It's because all of these things did their job - undermining traditions and parental authority - already. Having destroyed the old order by appearing hip, cool, and rebellious, it is now time to start imposing their own.
