I'm not fact checking this because it's really funny.

Weird dialogue. Doesn't look like something that blue guy would say by the screenshots. But I don't know anything about this game

The blue guy is where the main meat of the backlash is coming from. She is the non-binary character that keeps bringing it up...

because the people who made it believed they were on the right side of history and anyone who dislikes it is a chud.

You shouldn't even need to ask. A true ally realizes when they've made a mistake and immediately does the pushups on their own without being told to.

If a character in a fantasy game actually ended a sentence with "and crap" all millennials need to be banned from writing ever again

Absolutely nothing can be said with conviction. Every statement must be dripping with hipster post-ironic apathy even if you're a blue alien in a world full of violence and conflict
Can't even say "stealing is wrong we only raid ruins and make sure we respect the cultures." definitively. It has to be "oh yknow we like just kinda steal from ruins and crap or whatever
"

You know like when you hit it off with a cute femboy and like you are talking about how good it is when you go inside and he just goes and says that isn't like, you know, a backside but actually calls it a "bussy". You know, as in, like, a kitty but for boys? It was like, really funny and stuff.

If you played it as "he's a weird alien with a weird sense of honour" it might work. That was what killed the Outer Worlds. None of these people really seemed to believe in their corporations. Now that's a dystopia that would be fun to explore. They were raised in the company and they regard it as their family. A Coke employee is smashing bottles of Pepsi in the middle of a water crisis because he doesn't want anyone drinking an inferior soda. The Outer Worlds failed because no one had an agenda. "I want to be free from the corporations" to do what? Garden? Promote Jesus? Molest children? It's hard to get invested in such a flat world.

No I played this r-slurred game, this happens. There's even more dialogue between the blue guy and the elf about this where it's all repeated

If you're going to make him that freaky give him weird dialogue. The trick I did was to read a translation of the Arabian Nights, or just the Tale of the Barber because it's my favorite story from the book, learn the idiosincracias of their speech, write dialogue that sounds like a bit like that, and then feed it into google translate for a go through of Arabic>English>Arabic. Language is full of meaning and small details. Drop an occasional word that isn't translate or a reference that isn't explained.

One thing I really loved was a set of subtitles for the k-drama Dae Jang Geum translated into Chinese and then the Chinese is translated into English by someone who isn't fluent in English. It was a lot more literal and kept a lot of the idioms and quirks in the language. They've got a whole different way of saying so many things. The subtitles you can get now are grammatically correct English but much more bland and take some of the emotional edge out of it.
