SIGNALIS is a survival horror game taking heavy inspiration from Resident Evil and Silent Hill, Created by 2 Developers and releasing on October 27th, 2022, the game has Managed to be a large success.
From the Steam Page
"Searching for dreams inside of a nightmare
Awaken from slumber and explore a surreal retrotech world as Elster, a technician Replika searching for her lost partner and her lost dreams. Discover terrifying secrets, challenging puzzles, and nightmarish creatures in a tense and melancholic experience of cosmic dread and classic psychological survival horror."
The Game
Signalis is a Isometric Survival Horror Game that wears its influences on its sleeves, Eva, Silent Hill, Resident Evil, Lovecraft, The King in Yellow, and hell even has a System Shock Reference in there too. I almost don't want to talk too much about the game, it is truly worth a playthrough if it sounds interesting to you. Pirate it, buy it from a key reseller, commit tax fraud to buy it, however you get it I truly recommend you give it a shot in spite of the Devs or fanbase.
THE COMMUNITY
We all know why we are here, well most of us at least, the community.
Signalis is a game that features a Lesbian romance, as such it attracts a very particular type of people.
There are 3 Main places you'll see the Fanbase. Twitter, The Subreddit, and The Discord.
THE REDDIT
As of 2 Months ago, with the Sex Update , the Subreddit and the Discord rejoined and the subreddit brought on Moderators from the Discord to help Moderate the Sub.

As such, consider the Subreddit and Discord one and the same.
The Sex Update reworked the rules of subreddit to allow for NSFW posts on the sub, which were prior outright banned. While this update was largely well received by users, a select few were upset at the change, namely one type of NSFW post.

As you can see here, some of the users weren't quite a fan of seeing men on the subreddit, and took it upon themselves to attack these posts.
See, Signalis and its community is a "Queer" space, but when you look deeper, its less of a LGBT accepting space, and more of a L&T Accepting space, with the rest of the fags being ignored.

Archive
Mods would later ask the community if NSFW was really that bad on the subreddit, reiterating the line that the Subreddit is a Queer Community.
The Final update on NSFW would be the results of a poll, showing that, almost universally, the NSFW was accepted by the Users of the subreddt. Polls and Censuses will come up again.

Archive
The Most Recent update was the Democracy Update,

The Census shows that the Majority of the Subreddit considered Themselves LGBT, with 36% of them being Trans, As was shown in a earlier update, the Mod team is also 100% LGBT.
(Remember, these numbers are just based of the people who responded to the poll.)
THE DISCORD
While the Subreddit is probably a closer representation of the larger Fanbase, the Discord is where the hardcore Members are.

(The Server icon flashes through various pride flags)

(The Server also has a role selection including pronoun selection, while not nearly as unhinged as other discords we've seen, its still worth note.)
The Server is a bit of a mess, with the main channels being flooded with discussion, new messages being posted nearly every second. (Usually just a single word or something like that.)
As such, I haven't done proper digging to find anything funny or relevant to the Thread yet, so this section is going to be pretty barren.
Here's the rules channel for the server.



Bonus funny screenshot

The Discord also did a census, not surprisingly the numbers of LGBT members are even higher on the Discord.

For the quick number rundown:
50.6% of the Discord consider themselves Male
Only 26.7% of the Discord considers themselves Straight
Nearly half (49. 2%) of the Discord consider themselves Trans.
45.7% Consider Themselves BI, 65% of the Discord is between the ages of 18-25 and 16.1% are between the Ages of 13-17.
While I haven't seen it outright mentioned anywhere on the discord, its safe to assume that much like the subreddit the Discord mod team is 100% LGBT, likely with a heavy bias towards the T.

On April 3rd, 2024, Twitter User CSAlfredo posted a meme about Signalis

This meme began to gain traction until it was discovered by Signalis Fans, at which point they began a "War against the Chuds"
(This meme video by MGRex_ has the most screenshots I've seen, thanks to him for compiling them!.)
I was there from the start of the shit storm and If I was a good Kiwi I would have archived shit and made a thread in Games about it probably, I really regret that I didn't, but here's what went down from what I saw on twitter.

I feel like the best way to talk about the Twitter side of the Fanbase is focusing on 3 large members. (actually 1 Large member and 2 Less large Members)
Lets start with the Biggest and most Notable Twitter user, Atelier.

Her Twitter
Ghost Archive
Atelier Posted her first animation on March 19th, 2023

Quickly raising to prominence in the fledging Signalis community.
Atelier is by far the most popular fan artist for Signalis, being a Animator for over 13 years when she found Signalis it isn't shocking she started making Fan Animations for it.

(Screenshot of Atelier's Youtube Account, a archive of her Animations)
Her most viewed video, Protektor, sits at 318K views, which is more than any singular video on the Official Rose-Engine Youtube

And the Total overall views for her channel are over triple that of the Official Channel's.


(This isn't even accounting for Twitter, Tumblr, and Reddit Views)
Atelier is a big Fan of Yuri,



A VERY big fan of Yuri.




But more specifically a certain type of Yuri


And this posting is mainly towards the Main Character of Signalis, Elster.





(I have more screenshots but for the sake of not bloating the OP I won't post them.)
I think this is shown off the best with her animation
"Carnalis"





As of April 7th Atelier has said she was not going to be making "Fan Stuff" for awhile.

This is in direct relation to the Milposter drama and her own self admitted history of "going absolutely manic over stuff"

Though if she will actually follow through with this will have to be seen to be believed.
Liz Caingcoy is a Transgender Animator

Liz made the First Signalis 3d Fan Animation, Remember , which was released on Mar 15th 2023.

Atelier credits Liz with making the Animation that "started everything"

And liz actually has the Most Viewed Signalis Animation, "A Moment of Happiness for Star and Eule - SIGNALIS Animation"

Link
This video is 200K short of having more views than all of the Videos on the Official channel Combined.
Liz's Posts are about what you expect




I have regulated Liz to a Intermission as Liz doesn't seem active in the community, He made 4 Animations (that were posted to youtube at least) and now mainly posts your normal Tranny shit on Twitter.

APNOIAC & Maarika
I am grouping these two together since they are both around the same follower count.
APNOIAC is a animator in the same vain as Atelier, though focusing more on Meme/Joke content

Archive

Maarika is a Artist of the 2d variety

(Ghost Archive refuses to archive the Twitter Page)
Both have over 8000 Followers, making them some of the biggest active members of the community.
Their Timelines and posts are par for the course for the Signalis community, Mainly Yuri Art and such.



Both came out swinging during the MilPoster Drama, with Maarika making a total of 20 to 21 tweets about the subject.










(Maarika is a Unironic User of Shinigami Eyes, which has a thread created by our dear leader.)

A Final Note
The Devs of Signalis support the community as it is, even showing signs of support during the Milposter Drama.

(The Grown Ass Woman comment is in regards to Kolbri, a type of Replika in the game who is around 5'0, they are often portrayed by the parts of the fanbase as childlike despite being the In-game version of a Radio Operator/Intel Officer.)

Ghost Archive refuses to archive her likes.

The Callie thread is unironically pretty schizophrenic, I can't directly archive it but I archived a article version of it.
They use the term comrade and say "no fascists can be allowed in punk spaces" in it and I am 99% sure it was done Unironically
Babs (her Nickname) is a lot less active with the community but still found time to like tweets in support of the Fanbase.
