I've bought Huniepop. And that developer that some way weirder stuff than Tim Soret.
I'm definitely not trying to be the better person here. I've played games from people I absolutely don't agree with before. I still enjoyed them. The same will most likely apply to The Last Night.
Look what I'm saying is that I couldn't give less of a crap.
See this post in particular helps me understand the issue more. I have to do something work-related the rest of the night but I promise I'll read the entire idlethumbs.net thread when I have a chance, so I can properly understand exactly why the game creator has garnered this kind of backlash.
But I am not putting on any act. I'm just ignorant about the issue.

Didn't expect an MLK summoning in here lol
If the writing in this game ends up being good I'll be legitimately shocked. Most GG/MRA types have proven to be less than articulate. It's like when right-wingers try to write comedy.

If MLK was alive today the same people preaching egalitarianism would view him as putting black people on a pedestal or whatever other nonsense is going on here
it's fine. don't give a crap, give money to a supporter of a hate group that harassed dozens of women in the industry you seem to love

Yeah that hashtrag is indeed problematic.
Well yeah. We are talking about the extremes of a dystopian future. Right now you can identify yourself with what you feel like, its not a perfect world but i think we are on the right direction.
What if in the future its like illegal and you must be 1 gender so everyone woudl be equal? Thats all speculation about what could be in the game ofc. I feel the developer might want to tell a story like that from what i read, thats what i would find interesting. Ofc i might be way off lol.
I know it sounds a bit stupid. But we are talking about a dystopian future

So basically it's "This is the Future Liberals Want: The Game." Neat.

We're living in a universe where a game developer makes his game based on "extreme feminism" that ruined the world and advocates egalitarianism instead, when both are practically the same while feminism acknowledges that women are actually the ones who have been at a disadvantage the whole time. He uses egalitarianism as bullshit both sides stance on these problems, when one side is the one that actually needs to be focused on. Or even entertains the notion that siding with the side that has more problems will result in the other side having their rights taken away.
In this same universe some (probably male) gaffers are asking people how they can be outraged by someone not acknowledging the plights of sexism, transphobia etc.
It wouldn't be E3 without stuff like this, would it?

Regardless of what the Huniepop devs believe in, I don't think the point of Huniepop is that "feminism is bad." The supposed premise of this game sounds so incredibly unappealing I have no interest in the game any longer.

This was one of the most interesting looking titles at the MS presser to me.
God dammit.

Ummmm this is like Equality vs Equity 101. Helping disadvantaged people doesn't discriminate against anyone.

I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that only men are created equal."
I have a dream that one day on the red pills of Georgia, the sons of former women and the sons of former feminists will be able to sit down together at the table of brotherhood.
I have a dream that one day even the state of Mississippi, a state sweltering with the heat of radical feminism, sweltering with the heat of oppression, will be transformed into an oasis of freedom and egalitarianism.
I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the gender they are but by the gender someone else says they are.
I have a dream today!

I know this is a hot take on GAF but I think this game looks slick regardless of whatever this guy says so even though I obviously don't agree with him I still will follow this game and see if it is any good

What the hell does "extreme feminism" mean anyway?

Huh? You technically can identify as the gender of your choosing, but there are consequences. Trans people get killed for doing so.

You make it sound so cyberpunk.
Goddamn that comparison. A guy making a game about his shitty worldview doesn't equate to someone making a film about child rape. I hope you know that. Not everything needs to be so extreme.

well this is disappointing, was looking forward to this for years but if those tweets are what the game is about then I can't support that shit.

Probably still not as much as men, that would be so extreme it would be unbelievable in this guys eyes

I've been told that guy is a hardcore gamergater too. That's why I listed him. I could be wrong though.
Or you could just look at screenshots of the game and enjoy it that way.

You would think with the negative reactions because of previous stances, political or otherwise, that the dev team would try to be polite and try to distance themselves from this stuff. Specifically to try and make sure the goodwill of people loving the aesthetic of the game led to more sales which would only help their company and employees.
However, they keep digging their heels in deeper and showing their true colors on the internet which will be saved forever. MS should drop the game from their service.
I get that people have differing opinions, and not all of them are nice or accepted. I can only be responsible for my own and to a lesser extent my family. But when you are trying to sell something, this is what happens. This game will lose tons of sales because of their public behavior and societal views. I'm sure MS will also catch some flak because it was shown off at their conference, justified or not.

Beyond any of his stupid personal politics, this makes the game sound dumb as fuck.
I'd been looking forward to this game for awhile (goddamn, that art), so this was my expression at the revelations in this thread:
Ha, yep, what the hell. Yuck.
I had a good cackle (well, depressed cackle) at Aeana's tweet:
It could make for a good advertising tag line!

I know nothing about Huniepop but Ender's Game is one of my favorite books. Its writer, Orson Scott Card is a huge homophobe. The book is about a young boy being recruited to fend off an alien invasion. If Ender's Game was actually about a future where all the homosexuals in the universe are killing straight people and the moral/theme of the novel was "gay people are bad" I'd have a much different opinion of the book.

Amazing aesthetic. Day 1. I just hope the gameplay is serviceable.
Sickening how it is spit up on command.

"In a distant future where persecution complexes are outlawed..."
Don't worry, it's definitely not a one hour thing. It's not going to be 10+ hours, but it will be all killer no filler.
(I'm the writer/producer) More info soon.
Actually, I can just ask you directly instead of speculating!
Is the thematic significance of your bisexual main character to express the theme that feminism is erasing genders?
If I'm misinterpreting things and Soret has changed his views in the past few years you're more than welcome to defend your project! People and their views can change, after all.

Yup, the alt-right strat of tainting neutral or positive messagdes (egalitaranism) to make a firebreak between liberal causes and the less informed so its hard for social change to bring them to see the liberal side of things being right from a more centrist perspective. This is raaaaaaaaaaaaather important to note right now.
