Do fascists actually like the game? I thought it'd be too much reading for them.
According to the Woke Content Detector it is "Not Recommended" their reason being:
Contains overtly pro-LGBTQ+ messaging. Features multiple LGBTQ+ characters, including the player character. Heavy social commentary regarding communism. Whether pro or anti is unclear.
I find the last part really funny and also fitting for the meme.
Features multiple LGBTQ+ characters, including the player character.
This sentence guarantees that they haven't actually played the game.
There's Homosexual Underground ??? Seems pretty queer to me.
The one which unlocks HDB into having realised he's probably bisexual.

Did you not read the Solution text in the link you sent me? It let's you find out about Kim, but it says nothing about HDB's own sexuality. In fact, it implies that he's not, and we already know he's straight because of a certain other development.
Did you know bisexual people are able to date, or even marry, straight people?
Shocking I know, I thought they were only allowed to date gay people, hence the term meaning ~~"romantically and/or sexually attracted to two or more genders"~~ "gay but a different flavour"
/Sarcasm cause your "point" is stupid
Yes, I know, but the game would have made that a bigger deal, if that was actually part of his identity. Instead, it explicitly tells you to "stop obsessing about it".
I took that as just "it's up to the player" rather than "it didn't matter in the slightest"
Also the woke detector freaks see any game that's not just either only cishets or goes "Kill the Gays!" as woke.
Fuckin hilarious
i remember seeing a positive review of one that said, like, "if you play as a fascist everyone hate you in game, but so in real life" lol
They watch the clip compilation that makes it look like they're the good guys.
The game treats you like shit and treats you as an unhinged edgelord, playing up the eugenics angle instead of the (more rational) "took my job" angle
Not advocating either stance obviously, but I can see why hard right-leaning folk might not feel understood by the game
I mean, the game ruthlessly mocks them in satirical fashion, but fascists have always had poor media literacy so they could still like it similarly to how conservatives thought the Colbert Report was serious.
Put satire side by side with an ironically racist channer, the two differ only in writing quality
I know, but there are semi-rational arguments the game could have made (market protectionism, cultural heritage, pros of homogenous soceities, etc.) for the fascists and it simply doesn't
To pretend that all hard right-wingers are just idiots foaming at the mouth, instead of desperate poor people watching their livelihoods and (perhaps warped) values undermined by foreign labour, is really disingenous.
(I should pause here and say I am hard-left, I'm just playing advocate)
It does show that, and then it shows what they're really like.
I’m still disappointed that Stephen Colbert took the DNC’s money and switched parties he was a genius at conservative commentary.
the real colbert or the colbert from the colbert report?
Stephen Colbert he was a conservative before the DNC gave him a bunch of money to switch parties.
colbert was just playing a character in the colbert report. what do you think of stalin?
lol, i honestly cant tell if that guys comment is sarcasm or not...how do people not see Colbert was playing a character.
subtlety really is dead, goddamn
i'm actually non-binary, and i prefer gender-neutral and feminine terms. seriously!
I appreciate the poor attempt at a swaztika. A very realistic detail.
i'm pretty sure it references this pic lol
HALE HORTLER!
The fascists hate it, which makes it even better
I love that they're still not clear if it's pro or anti communist but the mere discussion infuriates them.
Also love that they assume just because their Henry did a speed run for dick sucking it makes him canonically queer.
And the facists is Too stupid To draw a swastika. Love it!
I find the lack of disco superstar representation to be disturbing.
Needs a centrist dad type representing the Kingdom of Conscience
