Is this the…um…incest game? Is that why they’re being harassed? Or is it something else I’m ootl on?
This is the exact type of comment that led the dev to abandon everything.
It's not "the incest game", the topic of incest barely even appears only if you make several specific choices in the game, and even then it's never painted in a good light.
I want to be absolutely clear that I don't condone doxxing or harassment, and people should be free to push boundaries in artistic endeavors.
But you only get to Bowser in 8-4 if you make several specific choices in the game, and it seems like the main draw of the game is being edgy with sexy cartoons. If it didn't want to be "the incest game" then it shouldn't really have incest in it. That's a controversial choice, and if the developer didn't know that, they didn't read or watch Game of Thrones.
Even the first episode of the game was rife with incestuous undertones. I fully support the dev in their art, but it's hard to say it's not an incest game.
People just need to grow up. Weird things happen all the time. We can't be puritanical and pretend it doesn't exist.
