It's apparently dummy code for Halloween DLC. AKA, it's a joke ending and people are overreacting to something that's incredibly obviously silly. I don't know why these people treat fiction as completely serious 100% of the time.

That tumblr link, though. Is that the most tumblrina of tumblrs? Intersex, trans, autistic, 10 listed illnesses...jeesh. I kinda refuse to believe that this is real. This is someone RPing a trainwreck of a person, right?

Also, who on here is gonna man up and do the Lets Sperg of this game?

Jaimas has his hands full, and I'm broke until next paycheck, so unless someone feels like sending it to me (and I am willing to do it), it's someone else's problem.

:offtopic: If that's the most tumblrina tumblr you've seen, you've never been in a kin tag before. Try checking out Vade in the Tumblr forum. :offtopic:

Though now that the initial reaction to Dream Daddy has died down, I haven't seen much else drama though I assume there'll be shipping fights later on. The Christian dude seems to be the least liked of all the dads, I assume partly because of the datamining.
Have some custom dads.

Which Dad do you guys think is the hottest?

I'd go with Damien but... He's a got a vagina. If i'm gonna RP a gay guy then I'm not gonna want any below the belt surprises. Like how realistic would it even be for a gay man to get a "guy" home and be ok with finding a vagina instead of a dick? It's so tumblr and they are praising it. But i'd think adding a tranny to a gay man dating sim would be a turn off for gay men.

Some people on tumblr are breaking the mold though by saying they are headcanoning the Louis cosplayer as biologically male because it's the only way they can feel comfortable playing his route. Just pretend when he says binder he means hernia truss. That way you get a disabled daddy as a trade off so it's still "muh diversity".

Why doesn't he just get top surgery? He looks like he can afford it.

I kinda want to play this for some reason. But I'm not paying $16.99 for Tumblr: The Game.
 
Only real gay men like vagina and women full of testosterone.

Our troon masters said so.

It's realistic tho. On reddit etc. serveral gay men talk about incidents like this. Testosterone is powerful and can change the female body drastically. Just look at female body builders.

I liked Damien too until that reveal. Did he opt for facial reconstruction surgery rather than top? Because he has the manliest jaw.

I can't get over the art difference between the date-able dads and the one you build. Looks like that facebook cartoon app that was the rage a few years ago.
 
Everyone involved in this is a typical LA douchebag, from the Grumps to the Oney plays guys, to the supposed SJWs making this game. Of course the game is a cash grab, of course the devs can just call people alt right nazis or whatever when they criticize the game, of course Egoraptor is involved in something really stupid. Why Ding Dong and Julian's opinion on the game matters so much to stir this much shit is probably the dumbest part tho, you need only watch their Night in the Woods longplay to see how immature and unprofessional they are when they find another creators work to be unsatisfactory.

This is like a miniature lolcow convergence event. Jesus.

I'm not sure how firm I'd stand with someone saying it's "likely" DLC either. However, I think if we've learned anything from this game's release it's that these devs are pretty :dumb: in general and only have themselves to blame for this hilarious shitstorm.

Meanwhile on the Game Grumps side of it,

Additionally, Polygon had a couple people play the game and they made a bunch of Overwatch jokes about it, some of which were interpreted as transphobic.

The video is currently unlisted but you can view it here. They have unfortunately clipped out the Damien commentary yet they kept in the incest jokes. Stay classy, Polygon.

This is real, right?

Mother of god, this is one of the most autistic things I've seen out of the industry in almost a year.
 
I'm still skeptical that this Damien character is trans, because it just seems so forced in. When he mentions wearing a "binder," I get the feeling he's trying to talk about gothic fashion (like bodices and corsets, things that tighten around the waist). I don't know anything about the victorian goth scene, though, and I'm pretty sure corsets are still reserved for women in today's "typical" victorian fashion. I guess no matter what junk he started off with, he's still a cross-dresser.

I guess it's appropriate for a dating sim that tries to be inclusive. The point of this genre is to chase your fantasies, afterall.
...moreso the fantasies held by pansexual femme tumblrinas, yet again.
 
I've been seeing people go back and forth about this game a lot recently. Kinda headache-inducing.

I think the primary issue at play here is that Dream Daddy just isn't that great of a game. According to the people I know who've played it, it's a rather short, shallowly-written, content-light pump-and-dump novelty act; only worth playing if you're desperately into the premise. If it were made by anyone else, it'd be forgotten pretty quickly.

However, the game was focus-grouped towards Tumblr users, and... while Tumblr users make a huge deal about being critical of media, the only way they collectively know how to criticize is by evaluating how (non-)racist, (non-)homophobic, and (non-)transphobic something is. Something so heavily hyped having a mediocre launch is disappointing, that much is understandable. Yet many of them are only verbalizing their disappointment by making up insane theories as to how the game is secretly homophobic and transphobic (either because they don't know how to articulate otherwise, or simply because it's rewarded). So now the goalposts have shifted towards whether the game is literal mustache-twirling evil, when it's really, like I said, just not very good in a mundane way.

so I guess the creator is gonna bend over and let the sjws ruin everything, i can see how this is end up now

There's no way an indie game dev making a CYOA game called "Dream Daddies" wasn't an SJW themselves in the first place, chief
 
Might just want to change the name of the thread to Dream Daddy Salt at this point. No one's really complaining about the delay anymore. Instead they're just finding anything they can in the game as "problematic".

It's weird how many people expect led this to be some big huge thing when it's just a typical dumb dating sim.
 
Someone on tumblr gathered all dump text from the cult stuff and tried to make sense out of it: http://akira-fucker.tumblr.com/post/163287376490/joseph-christiansen-secretcult-ending-manuscript

tl;dr: It's like a weird dream sequence (OR WAS IT?) where Joseph wants to rape/kill/sacrifice/??? the Main character but his wife stabs him and then his kids appear and want to eat him (???) but then you wake up and see everything is normal but his wife says Joseph mysteriously disappeared. It's normal for dating sims to have dumb easter egg ending but this one sounds like a shitty fanfic.

Also, how curious that the white, blonde, rich, straight and christian guy is actually an evil cultist who goes around kidnaping and killing homosexual guys hmm...

Yeah. Because it is so out-of-character for an upstanding, religious (therefore presumably moral), wealthy WASP to be an insane cultist. Not everything is necessarily a SocJus plot. Believe it not there are still many people who won't find it cliche.

Admittedly I don't know anything about the people who made the game but just because they're portraying some stereotypical WASP family as actual secret perverts doesn't mean that its a deliberate attack on the West or what-ever.

It doesn't have to be a SocJus plot. More likely the devs know their audience and the kind of shit they'd get if they gave the creepy easter egg ending to any of the brown men or the trans man. I can't blame them for wanting to avoid that kind of backlash. Joseph was the safest character to use.
