Yes it's been mostly the fanbase and in some instances the developers. Horseshoe theory still stands true, both sides want you to play bad games.

Yes, the Super Seducer dev gets misty eyed over a porn game and the near impossible task of making a normal game, while also doing NFT fuckery and vax bullshit stuff

Richard La Ruina is a borderline lolcow shitposter and troll that makes a living out of causing controversy. The fact that you bring him up as an example to refute an argument immediately discredits whatever point you were trying to make.

Seriously, have you ever seen his games?

Except he is 100% sincere in his takes and is along the name lines of Neil Breen. You're not really looking at a Sam Hyde where there's layers of lore and inside jokes that played out over a series of years.

He can most definitely take himself too seriously at times.

Not as far as I know. I could be wrong, but as I remember it PUAs were hated by all sides.

When it comes to dating, it broke down like this. Incels don't have a choice in the matter. MGTOW are either burned by the dating game, or saw others go down in flames and chose to avoid it. Blue pill men assume that they'll be the ones who avoid toxic women, only to end up dragged through family court 5 years later. Male feminists allies use the cover of feminism to creep on women.

PUAs know the game is rigged, but decide to sell their self respect and throw the previously mentioned groups under the bus to chase a teenage idea of masculinity where the only measure of self worth is how many women you have sex with (reguardless of quality). I don't think it's an accident most PUAs have moved on to being shock jocks, or claim they found Jesus to grift the trad cons.

In other words, being a grifter with no principles and no standards isn't based.


As for the game, what happened is bullshit because the blanket bans are done for political reasons and nothing to do with the content itself. This allows him to play a martyr on Twitter.

I was afraid of that. Seems these dickheads never seem to get an L for the right reasons.
 
Super Seducer is just part of a larger sub-genre of modern FMV releases that have been going on for years with no issue.

Not only that these releases usually get physical copies made for them, so his whole cycle of development being as fucked as it is has no real excuses.

Full Metal Daemon Muramasa Streamer Friendly Version Denied on Steam, But It’s Available on GOG Now​

JAST USA announced that Full Metal Daemon Muramasa has received a Streamer-friendly version on GOG. The version was previously rejected on Steam, but GOG is here to lend a hand to fans wanting to share this game through streaming or just play a more all-ages version.

The publisher released a statement:

After months of talks, Valve rejected Full Metal Daemon Muramasa for distribution on Steam, banning it from their platform. We at JAST have always been transparent with Valve, ensuring the quality of our games does not suffer when we must adjust content to fit the requirements of Steam. We hoped we could resolve Valve’s concerns amicably and ultimately deliver the game to the many fans waiting on Steam, but Valve is firm in their decision.

Full Metal Daemon Muramasa is considered by many as a pinnacle piece of the visual novel genre. It dives into challenging and uncomfortable themes of war, sexual violence, racism, oppression, terrorism, and other atrocities; for the sake of artful storytelling. Steam has never had a policy against bad things happening in video games, and in fact Muramasa is unequivocal in its condemnation of these elements. Out of the darkness of Muramasa’s story emerges a statement on what it means to be a hero, to be human, to be family, to be friends; and in many ways, what it means to be.

Our case is, unfortunately, not unique in the industry. An increasing number of visual novel games are getting unjustly banned from Steam, with no recourse. This creates an environment where publishers don’t release games like Muramasa because the risk is too high with Steam’s heavy-handed hold on the PC market, stifling the medium and forcing publishers to adopt self-censorship to survive.

With 2021 behind us and Valve remaining intransigent, our friends at CD Projekt reached out and accepted Muramasa onto their platform, GOG. And so, we are excited to announce that Muramasa, Saya no Uta, Dead End Aegis, and many more of our titles are coming to the GOG store this week, with more to come in the future.

Full Metal Daemon Muramasa tells the story of warriors called musha. Using the powerful suits of armor called tsurugi, they fight endlessly. The protagonist, Minato Kageaki, is a musha and lives by the saying “Where there are demons, I slay them. Where there are saints, I slay them.” As such, the game is not a story of heroes who believe they’re right, but of people who despite that still stand on the battlefield.

Steam is supposedly doing this for two reasons, first one is they want to get back into China, second they don't want to get kicked out of the rest of asia who are cracking down on similar titles and media. Japan and Korea both have new and different laws and initiatives that have already caused trouble for some and will more than likely be ramped up in the future.

China fuckery usually prefers companies to allow them to do joint ventures with Trusted CCP Backed Entities like Tencent and if you don't have that and become subserviently bent to their will, you have to do your own internal thing that has to pass their even changing scrutiny. Since Steam is not a public company it did the former.

To be fair the only people that have shrieked have been the manga authors who have had their doors kicked down by Japanese Swat teams who are now cracking down on illicit and questionable materials on a nationwide level.

What did I miss? got more on that?

It's true, this stuff started out a lot more reasonable, nobody was saying Shadow Complex should be banned, they were just saying why they personally didn't want to buy it, which is fair enough.

Read and weep this 2013 article about http://gameological.com/2013/06/foc-tennapel-armikrog/ about Doug Tennapel and be astonished at how far more fair minded and level headed it is than anything you see from gaming journalism today.

Something has just gone wrong with people's minds over the last 8 years, it's just been really bizarre and heart breaking to see.

That article its still passive-aggressive woke, beats around the bush with calling for outright censorship and basically says you're a piece of shit for enjoying something if the person behind it has non-kosher opinions.

And then a year later for no reason at all gamergate happened.

As a parallel, a ytber I often watch now has a blm sticker in view in his studio, a hate movement full of grifters and unironic black supremacists, and this guy is white btw. Did I unsub? nope, because his content its still good and so far he hasnt made any political statements or an actual video about blm. When he starts using his channel to do actual propaganda then fuck that, but neither was TenNapel pushing antigay shit on his games yet the wokes hate him anyway.

You're not wrong, you can see the seeds being sown even back then, my point was that it's just so much more mild in tone compared to what you would see today.

It actually attempts to be persuasive, whereas shit today just screams at you.

And it will only get worse, they are constantly testing the waters to see how far they can go and still get away with it.

He probably does. Somewhere. He also probably left because we're too gay for him. Understandable.

As far as I know TenNapel doesn't even hate gays. He works fine with them and doesn't mind them at all, I think he even helped jumpstart a tranny's career or something. I think he just hates the idea of forcing churches or bakeries to support them.
