But you've got this Carrie Ellison type of liberal that's doing an interview, and instead of talking about an IP that allows her to use any human from any time in history - her priorities are in letting everone know immidiately that "It's an amazing challenge" for writers to provide a level of quality by not offending people with her use of the/any ugly word.

As an experiment, I googled "Cara Ellison Bloodlines 2 interview" and skimmed the first three articles that came up. Not a word about inclusiveness, inoffensiveness, or modern politics. She does say "politics are at the center of our game", referring not to modern liberal politics, but to the genre bedrock trope of vampires manipulating humans.

Seriously, we all know she talks about liberal politics sometimes, but to deny that she ever talks about anything else is really dumb. You are cherry picking.

Yes I am - that's my whole point. Even though I've only read the article Infinitron posted and 3 others where she wasn't even mentioned. It's irrelevant because - as I said - you establish she's a textbook modern lefty, and they censor themselves by prioritizing their politics over their art.

The logic behind it (to me) is like someone making a porno - with every possible taboo included - and then insisting that they have to recruit all actors, directors, writers, etc...from an Amish village.

And then people say: "You're over-reacting and discounting the entire product becasue of your perceptions of libruls". Ok - but show me a librul game that's as good as the classics. Show me an Amish porno.

8/10... would do that milkmaid if I was 20+ years younger.
Would prefer not to have an audience of cows, but there are good and bad aspects to the pastoral life.

You're doing exactly what I said. You see pink hair and say "Well I can't play this then" because anything "they" do will automatically ←important never be good enough for you.

Show me a librul game that's as good as the classics.

Rolleyes. You're suggesting that "the classics" (whatever that subjective list is in your mind) were only made by conservatives? And ditto for every quality game of more recent make? I think there'd be a rude awakening if we had some kind of mental x-ray machine to call up lists of devs of games you like and map their politics on a spreadsheet.

Honestly I don't obsessively track the politics of game devs, but offhand I'll name The Witness since Jonathan Blow is well-known for his goofy personal beliefs. That game is fucking brilliant. Go ahead and move the goalposts now ... "But that isn't a first person vampire RPG!!" I'll wait.

I've made my points, and the goalposts are clearly marked. Autism isn't really a positive hobby of mine.

The black woman looks like man. I am not sure anymore with those western developers. They design men who look like women, and women who look like men. May allah have mercy upon us!

I'm impressed how they managed to produce characters without the slightest hint of personality. It's like something from the poser default library.

As much as I love hate trains I better bow out of this thread, it's not going to do my blood pressure any good to follow the development of this game.

 

[Delterius]

I love Hardsuit Labs more and more each day, for the greatest game of all time currently in development and for all the boomer brainworms in display around these parts.

Also shouldn't be Josephine a blonde white midget?

Well that only makes sense, we're teaching our men to be women these days.

At least all of these models look much better than anyone from TOW !

At least all of these models look much better than anyone from TOW !

Still not a single likeable character. It looks like the choices will be made on "which protected minority we dislike the least" mentality.

The black woman looks like man.

that's the only thing they've gotten right, negroid women display little neoteny and are commonly found the ugliest of all races

when they're not found the ugliest, it's because someone remembered abos exist

I see you haven't been reading the ASS thread.
