Predictably, leftists are pushing for rainbow and tranny capes in HD2.
If the devs refuse, they will be branded as bigots.
If the devs relent, lgbtq players will be mercilessly team killed on an industrial scale.
I’m pulling for door number two.

One game refusing to add rainbow flags is a tiny win compared to hundreds of thousands of players gunning down anyone in a rainbow cape. The meltdown would be fucking amazing. Especially because friendly fire is a big part of the existing gameplay experience. They would never be able to prove it was intentional, and they wouldn’t be able to prevent it without fundamentally altering the game for the worse. Seeing a massive success sabotaged by the rainbow mafia in real time would be a gigantic win.
That would be ideal. Millions of people losing a game they love because the rainbow mafia sabotaged it? You can’t buy that kind of press.
That happens to literally every other game. Just let us have this one, please
Is still a good thing, and better than yet another game lost to the swarm.
We’ve had small wins before. We’ve never had anything like what would happen if they put gay capes in HD2. It’s almost a shame that the devs appear to know better.
If they did relent, this is precisely what would happen. I believe there was something similar happening in Overwatch, where players getting killed playing as one of the rainbow freak characters repeatedly would claim they were being targeted for harassment. It creates a whole new can of worms where the devs then have to treat the alphabet mafia as a protected class in the game.
As much as it would be funny to see anyone with a rainbow cape getting gunned down mercilessly by teammates, anyone who has seen how this usually plays out knows that once the knee bends an inch they have to go all the way down, and that typically means banning players and putting in restrictions to protect faggotry at all costs. And yes, they will likely end up having to break their game to protect faggots, the way Neil Druckmann did with TLOU2, disabling the player's ability to shoot any of the Tiny Hat Commission's paraphernalia in the game.
"Come out", they said "It won't cause consequences or hate", they said. God. Why? WHY?
> A massive win for them is actually a massive win for us!
This is your brain on accelerationism.
