It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

Imagine using a kiddy porn game with an antisemitic stereotype to push your "free Taiwan" message. I can't think of a single worse way to promote a cause.

[–] Florn@hexbear.net 37 points 2 years ago

Who would push "free Taiwan" messages if the Nazi pedophiles stopped?

That's right, nobody, so suck it up or Taiwan will reunify with the rest of China

[–] Awoo@hexbear.net 60 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Creepy is an understatement.

This game is Lona RPG, which if you're in the anime community you eventually come across. It's an ero game made by Taiwanese separatists.

In it the player takes on the role of an obviously underaged little girl in an absolutely brutal fantasy world where literally everything wants to sexually assault you. Very graphically. Orcs, dogs, monsters, fishmen, humans, everything. All is depicted in the absolute maximum brutality ways it can be.

It also includes antisemitic imagery, such as the happy merchant:

The intro screen to the game is:

Fuck everything about this game. Fuck Itch.io for continuing to host it and give its developers significant quantities of money. I've been trying to get them to take it down for literal YEARS.

They know what the contents of it are, they do not care.

Lol this has to be a psyop by the CPC to make Taiwan look bad. But considering HK activists were clamoring for British control and calling China colonists, maybe that brain worm is closer to Taiwan than expected.

[–] Awoo@hexbear.net 45 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I don't think it's a psyop. The dev is a virulent open reactionary that constantly uses lgbt and racist slurs on their itchio discussion board.

Western compradors in communist countries are always fascists. We saw this in HK... And the Taiwan independence people are no exception.

How soon can Xi invade Taiwan?

[–] red_stapler@hexbear.net 57 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I don't know how bad it is

It’s bad. I had never heard of this and .3 seconds into a google search I found a fash stereotype of a Jewish shopkeeper. jesse-wtf

[–] BeamBrain@hexbear.net 35 points 2 years ago (1 children)

And the character's name is Cheerful Shopkeeper. As in, Happy Merchant gulag

[–] RNAi@hexbear.net 22 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Happy Merchant

That's a chan dogwhistle for jewish?

[–] Evilphd666@hexbear.net 24 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Been so longn before chan was concieved. It is a derivative of Shylock, which the Nazis used as anti Jewish propaganda aka the "greedy Jew".

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shylock

[–] Red_Left_Hand@hexbear.net 25 points 2 years ago

Somehow I didn't expect that. Very cool and convenient that nazis can't help themselves, they have to post the caricatures. I wonder what itch thinks about that

[–] axont@hexbear.net 56 points 2 years ago (5 children)

Oh god, just a quick glance at the website for this game. This is child pornography and the creator is an utter creep

Seeing things like this makes me feel like I should be making games. If some vile puke like this guy can do it, why can't I?

You know, for all the flack Steam gets, at least this is sometimes the controversy that they get.

Same with Nexus getting flack for taking mods of their website because they were indeed offensive to certain minorities.

[–] GinAndJuche@hexbear.net 46 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Nexus does a good job at getting that stuff taken down in a timely manner. I like how the support team doesn't take any shit when people complain about it.

Steam still has straight up nazi shit for sale though. They only get involved when a law is broken.

[–] Pluto@hexbear.net 20 points 2 years ago (1 children)
[–] GinAndJuche@hexbear.net 29 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It’s easy to avoid if you turn off the “adult game” check mark in the store, thankfully. The nazi gamer and gooner seem to have a lot of overlap.

[–] Pluto@hexbear.net 14 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Unfortunately, I still see a lot of porn. Some even hop on over to the Epic Game Store to avoid this, I hear.

[–] GinAndJuche@hexbear.net 16 points 2 years ago (1 children)

That’s actually a good point in epics favor, they could probably corner the “family friendly” digital storefront if they advertised that.

[–] Pluto@hexbear.net 10 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Frankly? Steam deserves it. Hell, I could use a "family-friendly" digital storefront at this point...

[–] GinAndJuche@hexbear.net 14 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It would be funny to start one and slowly inject more and more commie stuff into the front page.

A “State and Revolution” Visual Novel getting recommended next to the latest Lego franchise game.

[–] Pluto@hexbear.net 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Oh, I believe someone made The Communist Manifesto on itch.io (using the text you see in retro video games, for example).

But I'm not sure if someone took it down or not.

[–] GinAndJuche@hexbear.net 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

That’s awesome, I need to start exploring itch.io more. Lots of cool indie stuff out there.

There’s a demo on there that’s basically a first person “tonight we riot”

[–] Pluto@hexbear.net 5 points 2 years ago (6 children)

Oh, I should try that.

And then there's @BeamBrain@hexbear.net's game. I don't have the link on hand, but they'll be willing to give it to you.

[–] GinAndJuche@hexbear.net 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

That’s a good shoutout, supporting comrades artistic endeavors is cool and good.

[–] Pluto@hexbear.net 5 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Yeah, I'm trying to support BeamBrain here. I plan to play the game as well, just trying to clear other things first.

There's a checkbox in settings to hide over-18 stuff which has worked really well for me.

[–] Pluto@hexbear.net 5 points 2 years ago

That I didn't know. Thanks!

[–] charly4994@hexbear.net 46 points 2 years ago

Before clicking the link I thought it was about LonaRPG.

Saw it pop up sometimes as I've browsed other stuff and it came off as one of those depressing games where everything is terrible, everyone is terrible, and your MC suffers because they simply exist. You also have the flag splash screen that does the evangelical thing of "click if you believe Jesus is LORD of ALL"

The Flag Splash Screen

But as for Steam, there's quite a few porn games featuring Hitler, this one just crosses steam's policy with the MC being an obvious child.

[–] Tachanka@hexbear.net 41 points 2 years ago

what-the-hell based on the comments in this thread I'm not going to click the link and I suggest that anyone who does clear their cache and maybe throw their computer in the ocean.

[–] Erika3sis@hexbear.net 38 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

Incidentally, I heard at some point that the phrase "cute and funny" is used as a circumlocution/dogwhistle of the word "cunny" by certain anime nonces. Which is a terrible shame, because sometimes an anime/manga is legitimately just cute and funny, but now I'm paranoid about describing things that way lest someone thinks I'm a creep.

[–] Alaskaball@hexbear.net 35 points 2 years ago

If there was a case for justifying burning people alive, I'd use this man as evidence in favor

[–] Evilphd666@hexbear.net 34 points 2 years ago

He thinks the Taiwan is more serious than underage sexual assault. libertarian-alert

Lmao the Argentinian carrying water for the paedophile

[–] queermunist@lemmy.ml 27 points 2 years ago

Reddit Island -_-

[–] Pluto@hexbear.net 25 points 2 years ago

Oh Jesus God no

Why am I not surprised?
