  • It’s also because both your gender and sexuality actually matter. It’s very gay friendly, has perks that provide bonuses based on your sexuality, and actually has different opportunities depending on which gender you pick. Rather than your gender and sexual preferences just being cosmetic, they actually impact gameplay in a way that other games shy away from.







  • It’d be less of a problem if there was no cost to throwing edible food thrown away. That excess grown food decomposes and releases potent greenhouse gasses; an externality that the people deciding how much food to grow don’t have to pay. The entire motive for not selling all your crops is to maximize profit, and profit has no regard for how it serves society.

    It’s all too often left out of the conversation, but part of the feedback loop for chasing profits are the opportunity costs when trying to attract investment capital. The capitalist class being able to freely invest wherever they want causes them to demand corner cutting, force exploitative practices, and encourage everyone to ignore externalities. Capitalism is not simply events and practices that can be viewed in isolation, but an interconnected system where bullshit in one industry does not stay in one industry. People not being able to grasp such a large and interconnected system is part of why it is so hard to oppose.

    It’s viscerally upsetting to view food being wasted when so many cannot afford to eat properly. Even though throwing away food it is not the direct reason for mass starvation, it is a cog in the machine that creates it. For that reason, people drawing the line between the two is not as irrational as you think.
