Are indie devs forced to obey the LGBT content policy before releasing their games?
Latest subnautica hysteria made me think that only games that are 100% free of fascism get a greenlight

who knows. gatekeeping is the goal
what's wrong with subnautica?
Well there was that guy making the "what if cyberpunk was caused by liberalism" pixelshit game who got fucked over for having centrist views.
rip
but yeah, the whole indie gender is dominated by SJWs and the ""progressive"" kind of people, so if you make indie games you better agree (or at least pretend to) with their views
otherwise you're just gonna piss off your playerbase, and no one that wants to make money out of videogame wants to do that
in other words, learn to lie and pretend to have opinions you don't have
the free market was a mistake
I think it's just a american thing.
Early millennials are just more concerned about social issues than their parents on average. You can't really blame them since they grew up in an era of censorship, televangelism and political propaganda incessantly targeting minorities. Including more minorities in gaming is one way to right that wrong, at least from their perspective.
But Sup Forums is far too young to understand that, so they think these people are a bunch of hippie causeheads instead.
It's a nightmare to think 2 million resetera and reddit users would boycott your game and blacklist your existence if you dare to say something that hurts their feelings
In the future there will be a LGBT stamp similar to ESRB
Indie Devs tend to be spoiler brats who flushed their trust funds down the toilet to “live their dream” which their dreams are shit. These people tend to be super liberals, and as with all political ideology, it’s “Us VS Them”
So yes. If you want to succeed as an indie dev you better be 100% trans, minority and women friendly. Just like if you want to succeed in Hollywood you have to “rape” female actors or be a pedo
Her nose is too big
>women friendly
>using binary definitions
That's an offense right there
Two extremes of an issue. None is right.
Fuck, I’ll go turn myself into my local Matriarchy headquarters for sterilization.
This. Just stay away from american games.
I see jew.
I thought the Subnautica people were Swedes? Or am I thinking a different Generic Survival Crafting Horror Dev?
*blocks your path*
I'm making a game.
I wont add gay shit in it, fuck outta here with that shit.
I blame americans for starting this trend, you guys could have stopped this
It works this way for everything, though, not just progressives.
Imagine making a game exclusively catered to Sup Forums, and then having one of your lead designers on twitter saying all sorts of progressive stuff. Sup Forums would certainly boycott it.
You always pay lip service to those whose money you want. It's just the way stuff works.
You bet if I was making an indie game I'd fill my twitter with pro lgtb leftism bernie sanders i'm with her blah blah blah bullshit if it got me money.
>Sup Forums would certainly boycott it.
as if 500 basement dwellers have actual contacts with the industry and free pass to post on polygon, feminist frequency, kotaku, new york times, etc.
This is all Hillary’s fault, if she had just said “Monica was my idea, I wasn’t gunna blow his gross dick, so if she want to, fine.” We would have shifted into a timeline were Gore won, saved the environment, make Elon Musk a government car making slave, and world peace would have happened in 2007.
It's just an example mate.
we have meme magic and shadilay on our side
I know but who has the REAL power to censorship and/or boycott?
I mean, neogaf/resetera fired JonTron that was simply serving as a shit voice actor in a shit game. If he wasn't fired not only the scores would be much lower but the game wouldn't even be discussed online. Imagine a group of people controlling what can and cannot be released.
But it gets worse: we have at least a dozen of games that were shilled 24/7 because the devs were friends with journalists and/or minority groups
They're very vocal, and they control a lot of the gaming journalism, and normies (aka: most of the gaming consumers) listen to those.
There isn't much to be done besides wait for it to die or something.
I don't even care anymore, if I ever release a game there will be a disclaimer saying if you are offended by the content you can fuck off.
...
Most gamers are national socialists.
>I know but who has the REAL power to censorship and/or boycott?
Conservative Christians, as they still make up such a vast majority of the American voter base. Trump was elected.
Also, let me point out that Nintendo still mostly adheres to the same content policies that it did decades ago - i.e. covering up skin, toning down violence and 'Satanic' imagery, censoring LGBT characters or suggestive themes, etc. for American localizations. If the so-called SJW masses were as vocal as you might make them out to be, Nintendo would absolutely attempt to appease them. The fact that Nintendo continues to disregard the notion of minority representation in its games is a clear indicator that the company's primary audience will not tolerate said representation.
doubtful. edgy nihilists, maybe.
>Indie devs pandering to SJW's with muh equality
>All the while being funded by human rights violating chinks
Pottery.
Even dwarf fortress gets influenced by SJWs now, all is lost.
What I find so ironic is that there will never be space faring humans that AREN'T based on a totalitarian fascist system.
how?
Bay12 forums are 90% pony, furry, sjw and "I'm literally shaking right now". He spends most of his time at cons and SJWs keep telling him shit to add to his game.
The game has like 5 genders now so everyone /dfg/ lately is half full of "grrr fucking gay dwarves" and Elves defending it.
why would you post an image of your mom on Sup Forums?
