Steam, lemmy and reddit are currently creaming themselves over a game which devs makes multiple really cringe "jokes" about slavery and exploitation. Read the steam page descriptions.

Those "pals" are clearly antropomorphised creatures being dogwhistle for humans. And if you read the game reviews, even the g*mers are not lost on that fact (just they love that):

Someone asks you what your problem is since you're hopping mad and insulting them because they dared to (100% correctly) criticize a game/genre you like? And your response is that they are antagonizing you? Rather than assume that everyone who thinks there are real and easily demonstrated problematic issues with your favorite media is actually just out to "antagonize" you, you might serve yourself better if instead you stop and reflect on why it makes you so upset and why you so quickly jump to taking videogame criticism so personally.

Or you can completely forgo any self crit and block me for antagonizing you or something, and if that's the case, I will enjoy it because it will be funny.
