You should be avoiding this game just based on the character design alone. When they tell you "this game isn't for you", believe them.

That's the whole point of the Steam group, no? To let me know which games aren't for me?

Then they get pissed anyway, no pleasing em.

The game may not be for you, but they still expect your money is for them.

That's just how Sweet Baby designs their characters. See also: That gaunt black woman with the sunken eyes.

Ugly woman with beady eyes, wow that was easy to rule out. Really don't even need to associate it with Sweet Baby, just look for frizzy hair and beady eyes and move on.

The full name of the game is "Unknown 9: *hurk* Awakening".

Link, in case anyone needs to easily put it on ignore: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1477940/Unknown_9_Awakening/

Way to attract fans. Anyone know what the game is about? Although nowadays unfortunately a female protagonist is a potential red flag

Forespoken clone with a masculine indian woman protagonist this time, and the usual white villains.

So we have this offering from the left

And we have Stellar Blade and Vindictus:Defying fate offering up attractive female characters and showing two fingers to the puritan left.

Wonder which will sell more?

The thing is, as someone that played Vindictus, the Defying Fate trailer didn't even look like a new game, so it feels weird to hear it hyped up like this. The outfit that Fiona was wearing wasn't even a new design, it was her signature armor from the original.

I suppose I might be taking the environmental effects for granted.

It's a sad state of affairs when we can only tell a game is worth looking into if the female characters are attractive or if in something like Helldivers 2 it isn't a factor.

As then we know SBI abd companies like it WEREN'T involved..

Well, I think I'll definitely take a look at Defying Fate. Vindictus really did have some sexy designs in the characters and equipment. Goddamn, I will never forget the (original) Succubus.

Genius post...


Harmful and problematic body positivity stereotypes

As a Jewish autistic demiromantic queer fat trans man submissive, I greatly appreciate that we are getting games featuring disabled tenderqueer femme cis woman switch polyamourous metamours of color, however, I am disappointed once again that the main character is depicted as a hypersexualized patriarchotypical stereotype falsely affirming harmful, problematic, violent depictions of the femme form, once again obeying society's fatphobic racist and islamophobic assumptions that plus sized individuals are incapable of being healthy and partaking in action. Once again, contributing to the erasure and silencing of voices of curves.

I understand you can't hit all the marks but it's just a little disappointing that these microaggressive depictions continue to persost in current year when this kind of erasure denying fat people exist still is seen today. Be better.

Yes. It's important to undo centuries of fascist psychocolonization to dismantle systemic ableist ideas of heteronormative neurotypical ability. If you want to be on the right side of history, it's crucial to promote these disabophillic ideas amongst g*mers who are known for their problematic fascist violent regressive racist beliefs.

In a recent study of six million g*mers it was found that 42% of them harbor outright problematic harmful fascist beliefs. It was also found that only 13% were responsible for 55% of racist online hate speech and cyber bullying. Additionally, despite being only 2% of the g*mer population, competitive gamers organize into nepotistic "clans" (or tribes, or kabbalahs) that effectively control 94% of online game banking/trading sites, gaming news media, and publishers or developers. Not many people know about this because that 2% of g*mers will harass, doxx, and attack you personally if you bring attention to them.

I think that thread grabbed a lot of attention because now all the top posts are pretending to be ultra-woke too, and shitting on the game because the protagonist uses guns which are triggering to people who survived mass shootings.

Haha I knew I recognized that description. It was basically lifted from the plot synopsis of this accursed thing: https://www.amazon.com/Their-Troublesome-Crush-Kink-Showtunes-ebook/dp/B07PW8CYBR?ref=d6k_applink_bb_dls&dplnkId=dcf5298b-bfd5-440a-a73d-9969c4523b5f

In this queer polyamorous m/f romance novella, two metamours realize they have crushes on each other while planning their shared partner's birthday party together. Ernest, a Jewish autistic demiromantic queer fat trans man submissive, and Nora, a Jewish disabled queer fat femme cis woman switch, have to contend with an age gap, a desire not to mess up their lovely polyamorous dynamic as metamours, the fact that Ernest has never been attracted to a cis person before, and the reality that they are romantically attracted to each other, all while planning their dominant's birthday party and trying to do a really good job.

Whats happening is that these DEI people seethe seeing that their characters are not loved. Girls dont cosplay as them, no one makes porn for them, no one mentions them even months afterward and if they are its because people mock or ridicule.

So their logic?? Instead of them changing, they force everyone else change. Like trannies forcing everyone else to change. Their logic is that if every char is ugly in every game, people will like their char.

Thats why its super retarded when one.. one AAA game has sexy chars out of hundreds released in a decade, the retards still complain theres too much sexy games and to go look at porn.

Go woke, go broke. I know they were probably blackmailed into it just like the rest of the SBI victims, but this is what they get for not standing up for themselves and their actual target audience.
