I think the biggest problem that people had with the gay bear sex scene was the gaming jurnoscum trying to pass this off as "tender" and normal. If this game came out in 2011 and Larian showed that scene you would have had gaming mags and sites saying things like the scene is "silly", "weird", "outrageous", "naughty", "kinky", "over the top", with the articles also being filled with bear pun jokes and at the end of the articles them saying; "Larian, you saucy boys and gals you."
Instead you see wording from the likes of Kotaku and Polygon saying the scene was "tender", 'beautiful", "sweet", "validating" as well as them trying to justify degenerate sexualities like bestiality and polyamory as something normal in articles about a CRPG video game. I always knew jounroscum were vile, I just didn't need to know what turned them on.
Exactly. You see it's a gag. The game is made for adults. But because of the way the media reacts to it, and the way the propaganda routine settles in the news cycle, as a normal person you viscerally reject it. Categorize it as bestiality. Find yourself repulsed. Call out that Larian is degenerate.
But 20 years ago, when the propaganda machine wasn't there, a man alone in a hotel with a sheep in his room was funny.
Why?
Because back then the propaganda machine didn't work. Because society didn't glorify degeneracy, sin and weakness.
So in the end, what will end up happening is that we're going to start hiding our hobby, once again. This time, not because our peers make fun of us and ridicule us for it, but because we just don't want to be associated with this degeneracy/ these degenerates.
