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.

Heaven Will Be Mine is the only video game giving me an accurate representation of my lived experience:

  • all the main characters are trans women

  • all are immediately recognizable genres of t girl (shitposting furry hacker brat, self destructive "it's only a flesh wound, i went back to piloting one week after my bottom surgery" milf stoic, stoned af instagram plant mom in full-on gender euphoria mode)

  • all are crushing hard on each other and are destined to end up in a polycule together after they've bonded enough over their mutual trauma

  • all are really into giant robots

I mean, yes, they actually pilot these robots in an interplanetary war instead of just doing some tabletop wargaming, but this very minor detail of the setting does not change the fact that nobody else has achieved these levels of realism so far.
