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.

I mean, Sims 4's cartoony graphics were pretty universally hated on release by fans of the older games, and, like... I have never liked "alpha" CC in any previous Sims games. I put up with some of the less exaggerated examples of it in 4 because it's the lesser evil. The original The Sims was cartoony for the sake of isometric gameplay, absolutely, but both 2 and 3 did their absolute best to look considerably more realistic with the resources available at the time. If someone could make a better life sim with TS3 like graphics, but running smoother than that dumpster fire did with half decent hardware, that would be perfect. Just because TS4 is cartoony for no reason doesn't mean anyone who'd buy a competitor's offering actually likes that.
