Hate to see it, but also good riddance. pic.twitter.com/bpehJ8GWd0
His initial response was fricking very patient and kind
They proceed to react very normally to this :
He continued tweeting about it as the fricking reactions got more and more schizophrenic
Naturally he grew to hate them more and more, which is fricking somehow his fault.
Naturally smug twitter leftists caught wind of this
The fricking image he posted shows him being polite and clearly stating the fricking guy was fricking banned for being a fricking peepee, not advocating for homosex
But of course they have an answer for that too
He posts about it again, because rent free
Might be the fricking funniest way to say "I'm a fricking bigot" I've seen on here.
Whatever happens now, this indie dev is fricking unfortunately in the fricking culture war now just because he didn't IMMEDIATELY kneel to the fricking homosex mafia

i think he should have ended this with his original takes on steam forums, because even if he was attacked by trans furry g*mers (i checked steam, yes many negative reviews since last week), banning everyone on steam forums with a cringy message and his twatter post doesn't make him look like a victim. and he could have played the martyr in the end'
now, not so much
but still, lol for Hogwarts, AC oddysey dlc, moneysouls game and this one antichuds use the same exact methods of reeeeeing as their counterparts - the chuds, even going as far as open xenophobia and racism

The best system for any controversy is just don't acknowledge it. Don't explain bans, just move forward.
40K did it and it seemed to work for the totally ham fisted female custodians

This is a great advertising campaign for an otherwise very obscure franchise that doesn't have a marketing budget. I doubt many neurodivergents who would play a game like this actually care enough about LGBTQIA2s++ to boycott over this.

Yeah Soulash 2 is an extremely neurodivergent game that won't hold the attention of most Subway Surfer zoomies. Although you have to remember a big chunk of the neurodivergent g*mer playerbase does indeed care about shit like this in their bibeo games (just see Caves of Qud). Thankfully a the other part is either full blown chud or just grillpillers that like their spreadsheets and character lists.
Rockstar was paying people to protest their game to generate controversy and sales back in the early 2000s. Now there's 0 need to pay anyone, if you pick a side in this meaningless culture war you will have a viral advertising campaign at your beck and call.

Games Workshop also had the advantage of several decades of building a corporation around wrangling the tards effectively.

And the advantage that their manchild audience have already sunk thousands of dollars and hours into the hobby, often with entire rooms of their home dedicated to that shit.
Their whines carry about as much weight as when gambling addicts cry that the slots are rigged. You know they'll never stop.

? I don't like anti chuds using chud methods like review bombing and KEEP YOURSELF SAFE dms and pretending that they have a higher ground
Never have I mentioned gays
In fact I find it strange that the dev hardlocked the ability to add those in mods
Who gives a shit what people mod in a game

I liked how nothing happened to the Pole. Maybe Western companies should learn from this.

And others gave it equally positive reviews. Nothing really happened, yet all these companies quake in their boots whenever some loud cute twink complains on the internet.
