KF Guide to Woke Games

Silksong is Heavy. The game is about a civilization of insects (bugs, spiders) and other creepy-crawlies. This could have gone one of two ways:
  • the sensiblegenderspecial way, where you don't know what sex a representative of a new species is and people (sapient bugs) introduce themselves with gender titles
    • the game would still be woke but at least it'd make sense in-universe
  • and the normie-friendly way, where everyone's sex is known on sight.
Instead, the game is thick with they/them genderspecials (surprisingly most slugs are female). Sometimes the writers forget whether specific named characters are genderspecial or not. There's a male mantis npc who mourns his dead male butt buddy.

What makes it Heavy is, in an optional subquest, the protagonist Hornet (a female) gets assaulted and strangled by an npc (you can't fight back) and forcibly infested with a crying baby (at this point it's already creepy, absolutely zero reason for a parasitic vine to cry like a human baby), and has to get a back-alley abortion with rusty pokers. This is not a joke or an exaggeration, it's literally in the game like that, there's even a fullscreen cutscene. The whole event (rape + abortion) is mechanically affirmed to be a 100% good thing, you spend a little money to get a powerup required for achievements and to 100% the game. There's a special challenge ending (out of 4 total, I think) if you beat the game pregnant with the rape baby.

Expedition 33 deserves to win all their awards over this overrated trannyshit. Too bad a majority of the Steam voters in the Steam awards are tranny cocksuckers.

I have a lot of issues with Silksong woke wise (extremely female coded, very reddit writing). But rape baby was more of a parasite implanted by another woman than an outright pregnancy allegory that will destroy the entire motif of the game based around motherhood.

Though it might be me being too optimistic.

The parasite thing feels like a "corruption" of the motherhood motifs, to be honest.
 
Game: Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream
Developer: Nintendo
Score: Mild/Medium
Reason: Adds same-sex romance preferences and the ability to have non-binary Miis, which Nintendo has apologized for not having in the first game back in 2013. The Japanese version of the non-binary option is just "Other."

Edit: Forgot to factor in that this isn’t a one-and-done deal considering the amount of characters you can add, so changed the rating.

it's nintendo, did they really think they were gonna allow exposed dicks, tits, constant swearing and death on their "family friendly" console?

They do allow profanity, death and the like in their rated 16 and up games as long as they're not first party titles. Just because they don't tend to feature that sort of content (and, even then, I think the subject of death is not uncommon in first party Nintendo games, Fire Emblem comes to mind) doesn't mean they go out of their way to censor all of their third party/indie games unless it's blatantly obvious sexual content or they have to abide to particular regional laws.

Nintendo got known for being the less censorship-happy console maker with the Switch because they started reining in Treehouse a little bit after some the absolute trash they pulled with some 3DS and Wii U games, and Sony starting going full retard with censoring Japanese games after they moved control fully to California. But, it was last year or the year before, there's started to be scattered reports of Nintendo arbitrarily rejecting or censoring random third-party games, seemingly done either mostly or entirely by the American and European branches, and affecting a bunch of low-budget Japanese fanservice-y games, but also some low-profile Western games too. It's been harder to pin what exactly is going on since Nintendo is being even less open about it than Sony was, game devs either aren't getting straight answers from Nintendo or are acting evasive themselves, and Nintendo defenders will try their best to derail any conversation about it.

Bayonetta games have been on Nintendo consoles for well over a decade. While you never actually see any nudity, it's about as close as it can get without actually showing nipples and pussy. Not to mention the constant f-bombs. Hell, she's even in Smash.

They're totally fine touching on subjects like death and war in that series, but they still brought in their crack censorship localization squad for Engage.

And this is after Three Houses, which wasn't censored much at all, easily outsold every single other title in the franchise.

There's Metroid too. In Prime 2 you'll come across a lot of massacred corpses. Not that they're super realistic or anything, but they're there. There's even one that's described as barely being past childhood.

You'd be surprised with what Nintendo agrees to leave in for visual novels, there are some pretty bonkers otome games out there that are on switch. Not outright pornographic or hardcore, but still pretty bonkers considering how censor happy Sony are for the same genre.

During the early years of the Switch, Nintendo was the least censorious of the consoles platforms. You could get away with way more ecchi stuff on Nintendo compared to Sony or Xbox (remember the infamous white bars on so many VN ports).

I remember when the Switch version of a Samurai Warriors game was the only console version with functioning jiggle physics.
