I genuinely think that game is some kind of CIA mind control experiment or some shit. Years ago when it first came out there was a girl I knew who played Life is Strange and is still BEYOND obsessed with it 7 years later. She didn't troon out, but it was almost like she became a different person after she played it. Went DEEP SJW when she was only mildly liberal before. Changed all her online usernames to Life is Strange related stuff, constantly talks about it years later, and yes, is obsessed with Chloe.Dude had a weird obsession with Chloe from Life is Strange (one of the most awfully-written and genuinely cringey attempts by a mid-40s frenchman to emulate dialogue amongst teenage americans I can think of), which is itself always a red flag; but then also several of those anime characters that troons latch to becoming more prominent.
I tried to play it, because I was kind of into her and I wanted to impress her. It was the most boring and cringe thing I'd ever seen. I couldn't get past the first 20 minutes. We ended up falling out over something else that was (I think) unrelated, but since we still associate with some of the same people I occasionally run across her social media stuff. I've never see it without something Life is Strange related. I don't know what it is about that game, but it seems to seriously fuck up a certain kind of person.
