No wonder Sseth mocked this game senselessly.
Have to watch that review again. I got the impression that despite abusable mechanics and the dev's politics, the game was quite fun. Have it on my next-to-play list.
Women or "women" complained?
The implication is that experiencing this emotion is a sin and must be avoided at all costs.
Interesting observation. But do you maybe mean anger instead of hate? Hate is a very crude emotion. Maybe appropriate if someone smugly insinuates grooming children. But hate is not very useful, since it is usually self-destructive. You know, like "don't care what happens as long as I take the other bastard with me." Anger as a creative masculine emotion is definetly forbidden now. I wonder if there is some form of psychological damage, if one is conditioned to always suppress or deny anger.
And there is a lot more emotional(?) manipulation going on. Opponents of mainstream ideas are either fearful in an irrational way (transphobia, homophobia, islamophobia,...), or they are dangerous because they cannot control their hate. It cannot be doubt, dislike, scepticism, antipathy, distrust, aversion, disgust,... something that a more or less rational thought process has lead you to. It must either be fear or hate. Same linguistic impoverishment, but the other way around, for love. There is only one kind of love. Everything that feels good is love. Lust is love. Fucking children is "teaching them how to love." And since we are against 'love', it must be that we are mad with hate.
I don't buy it anymore. This is not exactly equivalent, but similar to the motte-and-bailey shit they are pulling when advocating for other extreme positions. Maybe someone smarter than me knows a word for it.
Every small tongue-in-cheek joke on the right is a dog whistle for people who in reality want to implement the fourth reich. On the other side it was of course irony, sarcasm, obvious humor, when the backlash becomes to great.
"Don't you get a joke? It is really about teaching love and tolerance. How can you be against teaching kids about love and tolerance (and Grindr)?" These people are not stupid. This is a calculated provocation, and they know it.
Good to see that they are still unable not to gloat, though.
Does anyone know the context to the quote in question?
