No really, like what game is just trying so hard to be the most up to date, inclusive, socially and politically sensitive game in existence. Answers that would have been true at the time are good to.

There's always been games trying to force socialisation on gamers :p bioware rpgs often had discriminated against characters for example.

But I am not interested in any old game that's trying its corporate approved best. I want to see the extremes of itchio or whatever.

EDIT: I'm serious, I want like the game that would exist of you wrung all the discourse out of tumblr and put it in a game. Not "a few good takes" something that takes every opportunity to make some point about how it is good media with good politics and values. The sort of game that the frothing-mouthed gamers on twitter think the industry is always one boycott away from producing. Someone, somewhere, must have made something so earnest it deserves recognition.

Also the interactive fiction r#ddit fucking hates this gayme because it's not gritty and "factually following the myth"

This has always been a personal gripe of mine, people who act like you're doing something capital-w Wrong if you make a creative work based on a myth that doesn't follow the myth exactly. They fundamentally don't understand that stories are conversations and that once something's in the public arena, it's subject to reimagination and reinterpretation.

    lol yeah I get this a lot because of how I like to portray demons in my creative works. Sure they're literal manifestations of sin but it's hard not to portray them sympathetically when Christian "sins" include things like communism, feminism, being LGBT, being a disobedient slave, opposition to genocide, and being indigenous on land Christians want.
