After spending the better part of the week reading up on some heavy academic stuff in preparation of a course I'm teaching next semester, I'm seriously triggered by this wall of text generator screenshot.

QFT, I've barely started the game and I'm being bombarded with shit like this:
If they're making characters called "racist lorry driver" and then write retarded dialogue like this you would have to be retarded to not agree with rusty_shackleford. People, who aren't racist BTW (and not just because race <> nationality so even the definition is wrong), don't want immigrants in their country not because of competition, which immigrants rarely pose, but because more often than not they are human trash who won't work and at best will be a burden to the civilized society and at worst they will kill, rape and rob. I would support immigration if we would get valuable people like Fabiano Caruana or Wesley So (chess grandmasters who first played for Italy/Philippines) or Elon Musk but if I would get Mbubu or Mohammad who can only shit on streets then no thank you.
Anway, regardless of my opinion on the topic our dialogue options are limited to:
1) I'm retarded racist and racism is wrong but I agree with you because I'm retarded
2) Fuck you
3) Let's change the subject
And people praise this shit? :D :D :D

Couldn't care less about right-wing butthurt, but the writing here does look clumsy as fuck. In fact, it has a very "Russian RPG" feel. Like, I know they're Estonian, but...
It is a fucking lorry driver. The game even goes as far of telling you that the NPC has little relevance by not even giving him a proper name.
You can get something from him, if you play your cards right.
You can (publicly) establish yourself as a dumb racist.
Or you can use him to build rapport with your new partner.
The scene *is* a little ham-fisted, namely due to the way Kim reacts to the whole thing. It seems out of character. Racial tensions don't really seem like the biggest issue in the city.
If you were a real bröther, you would know that the world is filled with such dumb lorry drivers. Doesn't mean that you cannot be a smart traditionalist yourself. One who loves the wömen *wink wink*.

Goral the lorry driver is literally talking about how race mixing is haram in the very screenshot you linked - don't you think that is a bit more racially motivated than a mere anti-immigration stance, my dude? If so, how can the phrase "Yeah, I can get down with racism" translate into "I'm retarded racist and racism is wrong but I agree with you because I'm retarded" without the involvement of some deep-seated insecurities?
Goral, you appear to unironically think that >50% of immigrants are "human trash who won't work at best," and your more specific examples of them are racist stereotypes. Have you ever considered that maybe you could get down with racism after all? Come on, don't resist it.
You are always going to be a retard, but you might as well not be a cowardly retard. Don't be a pussy, Goral - don't be a cryptoretard! Maybe wear an armband or something so that when Prima Junta, Scruffy, and Lenin instigate yet another murderous commie revolution they will be able to promptly identify you as a class enemy and thus preserve us from any more of your braindead posts. :D :D :D

It believe it is completely understandable for commie developers to misrepresent right-wingers, intentionally or not. That's not necessarily wrong, it is their game and they're just expressing their own beliefs, so kudos to them.
But unfortunately this kind of crap will label this game as "stunning, brave, and really really smart" among mainstream reviewers, propagandists, and left-leaning people in general. And seeing how most fanboys here are kind of progressive (including self-proclaimed communists), it's hard not to raise an eyebrow.
I'm still waiting for a right-winger liking this game, there must be someone on the RPGCodex of all places.

That truck driver is still more eloquent than most of the real life unemployed or working class racists I know. Game also dunks on commies, liberals and centrists so I don't really get the hysteria.

Yeah, the game seems to shit on every ideology to some degree.

Somebody put it very well when they said that the game is kind with people but hard with ideologies.

You mean like the Codex commies who get really irate whenever someone says they don't like the writing?

Wouldn't that be meta-butthurt?

Why don't you check out the main thread and find out?

tl;dr there have only been a handful of people actually playing it who don't appear like it. Eryfkrad thinks it has too much text, and I can't think of anyone else off-hand. Some Codexians hate it based on the screenshots for various reasons (a few think it's pretentious, others don't like the Communism, yet others are butthurt about censoring out f****t, that sort of thing).
Some notable Codexians who have endorsed it include JarlFrank, luj1, Lady Error, mibbles, and Delterius.
