I am sick of LGBTQ media being dominated bs soulless corporate Marvelian horseshit so I need some recommendations outside of shitty hentai comics. My favorite media types are anime and video games.

Well, there are some anti-communist tones in the portrayal of the game's setting, but ultimately neither the characters nor the game itself doesn't have much to say about the politics. Its themes are much more personal, and the politics are mentioned only in passing. The DDR aesthetic is a set dressing.

But it does fuck.

Edit: I should also mention that the aesthetics at least partly come from the 1970s DDR sci-fi flick "Signale", which I didn't watch. Maybe they're just the authors channeling their childhoods?

Got it, I'll finish it eventually, thanks for informing me about that.

Also I didn't know it was somewhat inspired by a movie, I don't think I ever seen a movie from the DDR, I'll probably watch it if I can find it online, thanks for pointing it out.
