Steam, lemmy and reddit are currently creaming themselves over a game which devs makes multiple really cringe "jokes" about slavery and exploitation. Read the steam page descriptions.
Those "pals" are clearly antropomorphised creatures being dogwhistle for humans. And if you read the game reviews, even the g*mers are not lost on that fact (just they love that):
lemm.ee really aren't sending us their best. They're sending nazis, they're sending slavery fetishists, they're sending 4channers; they're just sending awful fucking people.
I got into a scuffle with their admin and did a little journalism. What I found out about that instance won't surprise anyone here one bit.
After I called them out on this they started admin-removing content in large quantities so that the removals wouldn't show up in the modlog.
I made account there when lemmy world was down from time to time last year. I don't care whats the domain i send from because I read a lot of different opinions. This here is a weak one. I'm not supporting slavery because of my stance about that game the same way I don't support murdering people on the streets. Slavery is newer thing in games but murder is normalized, so this sounds hypocrytical and virtue signaling.
Yeah no I'm not here to debate you, the point is to drag your malaised "well acktually" debatelord horseshit. You actively consume and uplift a media property that outright leans into the concepts of chattel slavery of both man and beast, thinking you're being cute or clever by "wait til you see GTA". Fuckin call me when GTA has an Iceberg Slim simulator as a fuckin multi-level minigame. Your shit is not worth debating; if you're cool with shit like this, your opinions literally mean nothing to me from that point on other than 'something to be avoided'.
"Virtue signaling", please take your cracker ass elsewhere.
