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):
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.
