Putting 'politics' before gameplay.

Bland, caricature characters that exist solely to represent a certain group of people or the creator's self-insert.

Uninspired, derivative 'slop' gameplay that's been done better in a thousand other games.

Ugly art style with unappealing characters (unless it's AI generated, but still even then sometimes).

Dreadful, uninteresting, writing. Cringey, preachy dialogue. Painfully unfunny jokes.

And, of course, they always flop HARD and/or aren't remembered and/or talked about post launch

Chuds can't create. Only co-opt, plagiarise, and destroy.

It's not like making a video game with reactionary politics is hard or unique either. CoD did it every year for over a decade. It's just that this particular brand of chud gets really angry about their perceived enemies and that prevents them from having their politics just be a natural part of the game and turns it into an over the top screed.

the ancient chapo bit about chuds being bad at comedy because they get too mad at the premise of their own joke, and it distracts them from delivering a punchline

I mean 99% of mecha media is gay in some fashion, so maybe they're cooking with that one?

oh that Ryan Gosling-looking dude on the far right is definitely AI generated. love how the laser gun's (that's trying to be an AR platform) under-slung grenade launcher also shoots lasers too!

i thought chuds were supposed to be gun experts

They're so focused on excluding whatever nonsense they got brain-poisoned into thinking is bad that they forget they're supposed to be including a game that anyone would actually want to play

do note that yandere simulator (lmao) started off as a game "free of sjw expectations" (lmfao)

(I had a hyperfixation on it when i was like TEN btw, i am FUCKED stress)

That doesn't even make sense other than meaning "we're including underage shit". Fortunately it never got developed enough to even consider what it would include outside of the murderey mechanics you'd expect from a game about a person having a psychotic mental breakdown and murdering all their classmates.

Like, ""SJWs"" never particularly had an issue with murder in games it's women, minorities and pedophilia that's the main issue of culture in games.
