Dustborn - The Latest and Biggest DEI Flop to Date that No One Asked for!

Here's a thread and a spool that's essentially a highlight reel of Savvy's problems with the game. The clips below are mostly things I mentioned. Sorry in advance for bad quality.
Edit: I clipped a very special part.

Could they not be more subtle? :story:

Imagine the shitshow if the cast was all white dudes instead

This has to be a money laundering scheme, they made a controversial game so that people would talk about it online and so the developers would have proof that the game is popular
 
the commonality I observe with a lot of these deranged writers is how irreligious they are. I feel like the lack of a common moral framework renders you susceptible to such brainrot to begin with.
Good point, I keep forgetting the religious element. Scandinavian countries are some of the most godless on Earth. World Values Survey says Sweden, Norway & Denmark are the least traditional countries in the world, with Sweden being the most extreme outlier. It's increasingly self evident that the actions associated with religion, like zealotry, ceremonies with explosive emotions etc aren't created or caused by the religion itself. The people have an innate need to behave like this, it's part of being human. Without religion to steer these energies and drives in a productive manner, like by stoning adulterers or throwing a jew down a well, they instead manifest through political manifestations, LGBT lunacy, and so on. One reason it's so dispiriting to see Body Type A, Body Type B stuff in games is because we can sense this is now part of modern sacred text. You can't possibly revert to Male/Female as it would be heresy. As a participant in a holy war, Ragnar Tørnquist cannot be reasoned with. He has taken on the holy word of Washington Post, and it's only through their priests that he could be led back to sanity.
 
maybe, but then it must be literal old designs, because there isn't really any retarded wokeshit in the game. closest political would be illuminati basically being the deep state.
The closest I can think of with wokeshit is the troon character in Tokyo, where it's irrelevant to the story and only ever covered in the optional dialogue, but they have the Ameriboo character tell you that either they didn't date or they did but broke it off not because the character is trans, but because they're a no-affect ex-cultist. I think, it's been a while.

I do remember they got into woke trouble (several years after the game had launched with the scene always included, naturally) with the introduction to your character if you chose to be in Dragon faction. Women felt the strongly implied blowjob your character gets from the female recruiter was evil and wrong and bad. Their fault for wanting to be Koreaboos, really.
 
Someone points out that the game has assets stolen from GTA, and a developer from the game confirms it by…trying to act smug about it?

It was oddly funded by the European Union which Norway is not a part of.
Apparently this game was funded almost entirely by the Norwegian government much like how the Canadian government funds gayshit and niggershit.

I doubt they care since it's not their money.
You're both wrong. It was funded by the EU and Norway to the tune of 350k euros:

They also supposedly got 1.5 million from publisher quantic dream but the link posted doesn't actually say that (anymore at least). That's a bit sad because I liked a few of their games even if they were walking simulators.

This is the funniest shit i've ever seen dude why do you care
Because that’s fucking theft? What is wrong with these people? Premade assets or not, you’re taking assets and concepts that don’t belong to you. They didn’t even try to hide some of it. It’s theft from taxpayers, too. People are not happy.

Yeah, I just realized this today. Should have known the Norwegian film institute is essentially funded by the taxpayers. I can expect retarded EU funding anti-American and anti-post-globalist hate propaganda but what did we ever do to Norway?

I mean, the US is kinda what's exporting globohomo everywhere via their gigantic corporations including blackrock and ESG.

Just look at how they fucked up the guy who made the game. He will never be a productive member of society again and he apparently made a few good games before this. That's basically one confirmed civilian casualty right there.
 
If the new punk rock is to be politically correct, then it’s not punk rock. The woke activist invasion of popular media since 2015 continues to ignore the reality that they are not “rebels”, they are villains, and their delusions are becoming more embarrassing for them with each passing year.
From the looks of it, they know they're the villains, but It'S a GoOd ThInG because delusions. They've become so out of touch, they think: tomato plants can be grown in open desert soil, gaslighting is okay if it makes people feel better, yelling at someone going through an anxiety attack then gaslighting her is fine, calling someone who's more familiar with her situation than you are a freak and a manipulator won't turn the crowd against you instead, trying to turn cops against each other won't make them more suspicious of you, but each other, reality is a corrupting conspiracy theory just because you say so (lying and manipulation are the cure) and you'll always be in the right no matter how many lives you ruin.

The notion that popular games dealing with America need to be adjusted for “modern audiences” and the cast needs forced diversity to be “authentic” is based on a popular leftist fallacy that all of America is the same as or should be the same as New York and LA.
Sounds about right. That's a delusion, too. They don't even want to acknowledge how ethnogeography works. Ironically they want everyone to look, think, and act like them.
 
Prey (the 2017 immersive sim) also takes place in an alternate reality where Kennedy lived but we got a double down on space travel and futuristic technologies instead
That game is actually good, though. Its only crime was using the name of an ip it has nothing to do with.
Remember: The synopsis of this game describes the band as a 'punk' band. If this is punk then Imagine Dragons is Black Metal.
Even Imagine Dragons has more balls than this shit. Hell, I've heard songs by Coldplay that were more rebellious.
 
Ragnar Tørnquist as a writer is a good example what's happened with western culture and all its cultural products.

[...]

Like he mentioned in those interviews, his writing feels like the product of someone who wakes up every day, imports the the latest mainstream media programming, and goes mad. He mentioned outright in those interviews that Dustborn is intended to be election interfering propaganda to sway the US public against Trump. Why on earth is a Norwegian man acting like this?
I think what a lot of people still aren't quite getting even today is how the concept of incentive has played into how western culture has changed.

You could take up an artform, practice your skills, learn all the theory, learn the traditions and conventions, and then try to put all of it together into one beautifully constructed artwork through hours upon hours of hard mental (and, in some artforms, some physical) work. You would then struggle to compete with all the other beautiful art made now and in the past. You might have failed and made something that isn't beautiful enough, which people will usually let you know about quite honestly and which might hurt. You might make something good but just not find your audience.

Two, you could make something shit but with the "correct," "approved" viewpoints inelegantly shoved in. Before you even finish anything, you might get government grants, NGO money or donations from politically-minded individuals. Then, you will not get any criticism whatsoever - because all the political activists will praise you, and anyone who claims that you made something shit is clearly just a political activist from the other side who only hates it because he doesn't agree with the opinions expressed in the artwork. Political activists in the mainstream media will sing your praises and give you and your art huge exposure.

In the latter case, you got money, fame and a sense of having played a part in an epic struggle between Good and Evil that spans all dimensions of human society, since these people actually believe, like you described, that their shitty video game or soundcloud album or TERF murder fantasy novel will bring about worldwide political change. Even in the best case scenario, the former meanwhile would likely only get you money and fame, since there isn't much societal change one can realistically bring about by writing a good romance novel or developing a fun jump-and-run video game.

So the question becomes, why even try? Currently, as shitty as it is, there is a good argument to be made that being a far-left extremist artist is an objectively better choice than trying to be a good artist. Potentially more money, fame and prestige, for less work. I don't think this shit will stop until that incentive structure is gone.
 
Why are woketards obsessed with people with vitiligo?
I came here intending to ask the very same thing. I know vitiligo is a real thing, but I've never in my life seen anybody with it IRL, so why is it becoming so prevalent in these 'diverse' games? It feels like the new trend after the Killmonger hairstyle that's been so overdone, bordering on fetishist.
