what's funnier is that there was some sort of controversy about the tranny stories, turns out that actual troons wrote them and they're fine with those (plus what a player does to a troon is not the dev's business/fault)

I thought I remembered that.

Tynan has had a few "controversies" as I can recall. I think back in the day he used to be explicitly anti-SJW but has since gone quiet/acquiesced.
There was one really stupid one where people got mad because somebody analysed the game code and noticed female characters were by default "romantically attracted" to either gender IE there were no straight women, which is heckin misogyny. Whereas the reality was ALL women would be straight and could only romance males - unless they had the "gay" character trait. Pure outrage farming pushed by ignorance.

I play Rimworld so if I come across a colonist with one of the user-added tranny backstories (there are a few) I can lock them up, amputate their legs and turn them into a living bloodbank/organ transplant reserve for the productive members of the colony. Once they have no useful organs left inside them, you can even ritually behead them in front of a cheering crowd, or force them to fight to the death against a fellow prisoner who still has all his limbs and organs. Thanks Tynan, very cool!

I'm so bothered that rimworld doesn't AFAIK have a mod to enable ideoligion views on homos. I can understand the trans because its JUST backstory fluff for those couple of pawns so it would be impossible to really program, but you'd think allowing an ideology to not like homos would be reasonable and realistic..I mean you can program so much about religion, but no views on homos? cmon.

IIRC, the actual issue was indeed the former, and he based it on plenty of statistics. Basically, men TEND to be very hardline, either gay, or straight, very little overlap. While women were much more likely to be bisexual, regardless of if they were straight or gay. IIRC, this was based on multiple studies so wasn't just utter bullshit, and frankly, I'd believe it.

I think he ALSO got flack from childbirth NATURALLY having the consequence of women being treated with chivalry, since if your pawn has a fucking baby inside them, letting them get chewed up by angry squirrels PROBABLY wasn't the best idea.

Overall I think tynan has done well by the game though. Besides being unable to have a mean to have an anti homo ideoligion, because its VERY obvious, so its omission sticks out badly.

But considering the amount of flack he got, having it censored in Australia for a time, multiple hit piece articles, ect, I'm not surprised hes made a FEW compromises.

Spoiler: Text

Just returned home after my first official Game Developers Conference! Honestly, this past week was one of the most amazing and transformative experiences of my life. Even by Day 2, I was sitting in one of my panels on the Narrative track and saying to myself with no small amount of disbelief, "This is it. This is the thing I was meant to do. All of my experiences -- the disappointments, the seeming 'setbacks', the career pivots -- have all uniquely prepared me for this moment."

I've never been in a place where I've felt so held by my community -- where I could be both passionate and professional and those two qualities would not be seen in competition with one another. Furthermore, as a queer, nonbinary, and neurodivergent person, it was a genuinely moving experience to be told again and again, "We want you here. You belong here." Thank you to IGDA LGBTQ+ SIG, IGDA Neurodivergent in Game Development SIG, and Gay Gaming Professionals for hosting roundtables and panels to address our community's specific needs.

I had the immense privilege of being able to connect with and attend talks by Larian Studios and CD PROJEKT RED, studios whose works of art have changed me as a person, made me feel seen, and helped me understand that this is the career path for me. There were so many wonderful speakers, covering a truly staggering array of topics from crafting better relationships in games to how games can be used as a force for social good. The work of independent narrative and consulting studios like Sweet Baby Inc. is more necessary than ever, and I stand in solidarity with those who recognize the incredible services they offer, making games more authentic, inclusive, and accessible for every gamer. It was also galvanizing to connect with IATSE and CODE-CWA as they fight for unionization of all video game workers to ensure a sustainable future in this industry.

Lastly, the individuals I met throughout the conference were by far the most gracious, humble, and enthusiastic people I've ever had the pleasure of connecting with in person. Most times, networking for me has felt incredibly impersonal and transactional, but every person I met at #GDC felt like they could become my next best friend whether we were swapping fantasy book recs, extolling our favorite side characters in BG3, or laughing as we tried to book it to our next panel. I truly felt like this community was welcoming to everyone, whether you were a student, a career changer like myself, early career, or a seasoned professional -- all bonded by our shared love of the video game craft.

Thank you to the CAs, the service workers, security professionals, organizers, and speakers for making my first GDC a truly unforgettable experience. I hope to make some truly awesome games with you all in the future.

(Bonus photo: On the trip back from GDC, we were able to stop by Pinnacles National Park with my best friend and travel companion, Loki.) #GDC2024 #gaming #networking #writing

Holy fuck, it really is human deterioration at it's finest.

If alyssa mercante hates males sooo much then why she's fuck with them like animal without any contraception?

From what I know there's only one tranny backstory that was added by a backer (mtf, predictably).

I'm pretty sure there are at least 2 as I recall

I didn't realise there wasn't even a mod to add it. It is quite funny that you can have ideology mandated cannibalism, child labor, ritual blinding, slavery, but homophobia is a bridge too far.

I don't think it would cause much outrage if he added an option to favor a sexuality as long as you could pick whichever you want. By default, every religion in Crusader Kings penalizes gay characters and rewards those who persecute them, but since there is an option for players to reform religions or change the settings in the menu, no one cares about it.

Rimworld already has settings like gender-specific polygamy, mandatory burkas, and the complete subjugation of women (or men, if you want).

If you combine this mod, which adds Homophobia as a trait (and Heterophobia, if you're retarded): Edges of Acceptance
With this one, which lets you force a trait onto new converts: Precept Trait Enforcer Improved

You can literally do conversion therapy.

A relationship with Mercante is "toxic and abusive". Who'd 'ave thunk it!

Basically, men TEND to be very hardline, either gay, or straight, very little overlap. While women were much more likely to be bisexual, regardless of if they were straight or gay. IIRC, this was based on multiple studies so wasn't just utter bullshit, and frankly, I'd believe it.

I have also heard this a while ago (that women are statistically more likely to be bisexual than men) but I have no idea where to start looking up stats on that. When research firms are afraid of using the correct definition of "women" and include perverts "assigned" male at birth (and exclude molestation victims "assigned" female at birth), the results of what is supposed to be sex-based trends would be meaningless.

The best I can figure is that womens' greater predilection to bisexuality has both social and biological causes. Men have spent the past 50,000+ years trying to prove themselves dominant and never accept intimacy with another man as a possibility, but a woman that kisses and shares with other ladies is harem potential to a man. It's probably why lesbians and transmen have better reputations than homos and troons.

Is there a reason why we don't hear more often about "Reparations for the Japanese Internment Camps" from leftists?

It's one of those things. When it's time to score points on wypipo and how bad the USA is, it is inevitably brought up.

On the other hand, FDR is kind of their Jesus so....

Lesbians are a meme. There are plenty of straight women and plenty of women who are bisexual; they have rug-munched before/after a relationship with a male, but a full-blown dyke who has never touched, inhaled or injected a penis? Never happens.

 

[marvlouslie]

Welp. No more modern games for me. As I've said previously, getting out of the console space when I did and going full PC was rather good timing on my part. I have access to much more shit on PC, and I'm not beholden to a high priced proprietary store. Helldivers II is the only game I've purchased myself this year, and I was gifted Tekken 8, but that's probably going to be about it for me. It's becoming too much of a hell to trudge through and actually find something that HASN'T been infected by this dogshit ideology. I'd much rather go through and re-buy older titles I had on my Xbox library and games I remember liking that are still available on Steam.

Xbox just signed their death warrant. No one is going to want to touch this shit once they see how infected they've become.

I'll grant the reviewer this, it is "homophobic" in a sense IF the faggot trait eats a slot that could've gone to another trait AND you get to pick a character often enough that you can go for best traits and mince the rest into emergency rations. IIRC the developer of Rogue Legacy specifically ensured that "gay" doesn't interfere with other traits (although the trait itself was pure wokism, as it had no effect and was only there to remind you that GaY pEoPlE eXiSt).

There are as many lesbians as there are gays (3-6%); additionally, there are at least as many (6%) whores (females with many male partners) who also happened to fuck at least one woman. There's no corresponding phenomenon in gays.

That said, you rape kids. Please die.

So what you're saying is lesbians are bisexual?
