If chuds actually gave a shit about Nier beyond 2B’s ass they’d absolutely fucking hate it. Half the characters in Automata are just bi/lesbian disasters and it dabbles in some real gender fuckery.

The original Nier has one of the best written intersex characters I’ve ever seen and it literally FORCES you to read her backstory and how she was discriminated against because of it.

They don’t give a shit about the Nier franchise outside of the amount of porn that it has generated.

    My hypothesis is that you could make a game where everyone was a transgender communist and gamers wouldn’t care as long as everyone was also a hot anime girl in a revealing outfit

      i think you’re right on the money and that’s what, i think, all the “why don’t the coomers just watch porno” conceptions miss; it’s not about them not being able to jerk off to a game they’d never play anyway, it’s the realisation that culture can exist without appealing to their sensibilities at all, that game makers can ignore them and do fine after all

      that’s why their battlecry is “go woke, go broke” right, “you need us, you can’t ignore us” and that’s why they lose their shit when games do just fine without them and they have to uncover the blackrock soros DEI sweet baby bogeyman
