Today I felt like looking at games that have been censored, so I looked at one of the indie games that were de-indexed from Itch.io by conservative radfems: He Fucked The Girl Out of Me (it's free and really short).
It's about a trans sex worker and I thought it was really good, a couple of parts were relatable but for me likely did not originate from the exact same sources as they did for the protagonist (that discomfort about receiving gifts I have talked about before, for example).
I also looked at, but did not play Fursan al-Aqsa, a game made by a Palestinian in which you fight the IDF. It has been banned in Europe and Australia and that fact alone tells me it should be talked about as much as video essayists talk about Spec Ops: The Line.
It holds up a mirror to the double standard we see where developers from the United States can make endless military slop about how their army heroically murders foreigners but "third world" developers get censored and declared terrorist extremists for games about fighting the IDF as one of its direct victims. Even beyond my generalized dislike of censorship, it's vile hypocrisy to treat these things so differently.
