REEE demands lives destroyed and people doxxed for differing opinions. They demand absolute, unquestioning obedience.

Here you don’t get banned for not following the masses. You can speak your mind.

REEE is an authoritarian, oppressive, hateful place that wishes death and misery on others.

I was speaking more about the motivation for the hate in the first place. Not the action taken after the hate builds up.

For what it is it looks pretty well made to be honest. But the target demographic looks like it’s aimed at people who like shows like dawsons creek…but an are zoomers…and maybe also furries. I’m not sure how big a market that is.

I like narrative adventures, but yeah it’s teen coming of age pitch and dialogue is not appealing, nor is the rhythm game element.

So much about this feel crazy niche. Looks like a fair bit of effort has gone into it tho.

Is anyone else tired of the this shitty drawing style? When did it become popular to draw animated TV shows and video games like they're straight out of you middle school doodle notepad? I miss when these people had talent and drew stuff your average 12 year old couldn't do.

I haven't played it, but I heard somebody made Snoot Game as an alternative to this REE-fueled mess, for those people that want to still play a game about anamorphic dinosaur highschoolers.

Full disclosure, I have no idea if it's an actual game, a VN, or a porn game, so risky clicky, it's entirely up to you guys.

Sidestepped the part where I said jokes aren’t hate. Smart, as it was such a flimsy argument of yours to begin with.

And I’m sure you can figure out what I mean. I could be verbally attacked at most jobs for being a straight white male- with no repercussions. Now imagine if I said one comment that made a trans person upset (see my last paragraph for examples). I could be fired immediately for that. I’d almost certainly be facing disciplinary action.

I imagine I’d be fired from my job soon if I started recommending people watch “What Is A Woman” or if I started raising awareness of the horrible side effects of puberty blockers and cross sex hormones.

You'd be fired because you and me are part of the "ruling class" when it comes to sexual orientation and gender. That's how it works. And I'd take that over living in a world where being gay or trans was a negative. As a cis-gendered male, the world is my oyster. Nothing to complain about with having these immutable traits. The world is designed for us man. At least accept that. It's the least we can do.

So you believe because of my race, sex, and sexual orientation that I shouldn’t be able to stand up for vulnerable children who are given life altering “treatments” at a young age.

No one should be told they can not call out and expose the evil being done to children, especially not due to immutable characteristics.

Also, if it was your kid prompted to get these horrific “treatments” that can stop puberty from ever occurring, sterilize a person for life, and also permanent lower their bone density, would you be silent?

The bolded is where many (including me) would run into a problem with you. You say they are vulnerable, but you wouldn't have the same energy for many other kids that have "life altering" things done to them during their lives. You keep it on "this" particular issue.

If someone in my child's school offered my kid (it'll be weird because she's only 3) some kind of puberty blocker I'd be upset and want to talk to the teacher, principal, and all the head of staff. But this isn't what we are really talking about are we? Of course it isn't. All these kids are having real issues and people like you are focused on the "trans" kids for reason in a way to make their lives worse.



Teen Girls Report Record Levels of Sadness, C.D.C. Finds​


Adolescent girls reported high rates of sadness, suicidal thoughts and sexual violence, as did teenagers who identified as gay or bisexual.

Feb. 13, 2023

Nearly three in five teenage girls felt persistent sadness in 2021, double the rate of boys, and one in three girls seriously considered attempting suicide, according to data released on Monday by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The findings, based on surveys given to teenagers across the country, also showed high levels of violence, depression and suicidal thoughts among lesbian, gay and bisexual youth. More than one in five of these students reported attempting suicide in the year before the survey, the agency found. The rates of sadness are the highest reported in a decade, reflecting a long-brewing national tragedy only made worse by the isolation and stress of the pandemic.
“I think there’s really no question what this data is telling us,” said Dr. Kathleen Ethier, head of the C.D.C.’s adolescent and school health program. “Young people are telling us that they are in crisis.”

Honest question, why do you try to defend this game so much? The animation is dreadful and I think the game looks like utter ass. It isn't my kind of game, so I am not buying it - but am I missing something?

Facetious question. We all know why *you* are defending this game.

You think not giving a child who says they’re trans puberty blockers and cross sex hormones is a bad thing. Tell me you’re at least aware of the side effects.

Matter of fact, I want YOU ago tell me what the side effects are. Want to make sure you know and care about facts before you virtue signal about compassion.

I'm not defending the game. I was curious why the game was catching so my hate but more importantly "attention". Like it looks like a mid-tier game that's outside my liking. It means nothing to me. But it was obviously getting more attention than most average/non interesting games.

I think it has a few things that are interesti g if it was packaged differently. I like the premise of the story. But the dinosaurs look too weird for me. But I do like that they are emo-saurs.

So what are we REEEEE now? We all have to have group think and all hate the same stuff all of a sudden for political purposes?

Mate, you are trying to dismiss any hate and label people as political extremists. The question was facetious as everyone already knows exactly why YOU are trying to dismiss mild jokes about a shitty game.

Ironic, given you are one of the members who tends to REEEE the most.

If this game/interactive story comes to ps+ I might actually play it (I won't, I haven't even played botw yet). I don't know if they've dropped the heavier identity themes they were working with earlier, but the concept of knowing you're going to die is always an interesting one. The game hits several decades below my age bracket, but so does the majority of games.

At least they're trying something unique.

Well lets see ....

1. Everyone in the media does there bidding.
2. Every major corportation is on there ideological side.
3. The current Party in charge of the US also supports them so as to retain there votes.
4. They have massses of usefull idiots either deflecting,defending, labeling, or doxing those that challenge or make them feel "uncomfortable" in any way shape or form.

So yah Id agree they are the current Ruling Class and have V.I.P. status others couldnt dream of.

Being treated equally does not mean they have VIP status. Plus they aren't being treated equally yet either. But that's clearly not what this game is about, so none of this matters for this thread anymore.

The voice-acting on the trailer seemed okay to me. The rest, lol, not for me. Was morbidly curious what this was all about based on the reactions here.

I like the art style and the teenage angst stuff. I hate the insane political correctness.

Overall I'm weirdly drawn to it.

  • 🦕 The game stars a cast of dino-humanoid teenagers starting out their last year of high school, figuring out their futures and dealing with a meteor that will presumably destroy them all.
    [*]🎶 The game includes several different gameplay elements surrounding personal choices and rhythmic music sequences, and there are original songs and a simple rhythm mini-game.
    [*]🤔 There are questions on exactly how much depth we'll see in the player's options as well as the consequences that will be given depending on the choices throughout the story.
    [*]🎸 The main character Fang has a primary goal of trying to get their band worm drama on the map which involves a big audition and getting signed with a record company.
    [*]📝 Throughout the story, the player will have to decide how they want to prioritize their time, be it with school friends or the band.
    [*]🤝 The call for cast of characters feel well-personalized thanks to great voiceovers and conversations talking about their interests.
    [*]🌎 The game presents itself with the inspiration of popular high school drama shows we know and love but in animated form, backed with gorgeous cut scenes and great animations.
    [*]⏰ The 30 minutes that the reviewer got to play didn't feel like enough to give a full taste of what the main course of the experience is going to be when it releases on June 15th.
