Am I looking too much into it or is Snoot Game's central theme of getting over yourself and understanding that nobody gives a shit about your problems some sort of jab at leftism and gay pride in of itself?
YES. EXACTLY RIGHT. YOU GET IT.
I've discussed the game's other problems in length, but the central message that drives the narrative direction is identical to a South Park episode. "Nobody gives it a shit. Nobody cares. Shut up and fall in line. Be normal."
In leftist circles and especially queer pride, care and unity are so important. Being able to hear out, understand, and fight for other people is what makes us strong. It's not about whining until you get your way, it's being able to recognize when systems are causing harm, because harming one of us leaves wiggle room to harm all of us (see irl: trans hate and panic eventually leading to abolition of abortion rights).
Right-wing media cannot recognize this because of their hyper-individualism mindset, so they characterize people like me - people who wear their pride colors openly - as attention-seeking freaks unable to feel validated without outside confirmation, instead of the actual reasons (so I can show other trans people that they're not alone, they have a safe person they can communicate with, someone that knows what they're going through).
This is why Snoot Game's Fang blows a massive fit in the middle of class when Anon accidentally misgenders them. It's portrayed as Fang seeking attention that they'll ultimately never get. That's how the Cavemanon team sees queer people. Meanwhile, Goodbye Volcano High's Fang is deadnamed by their mom in the first chapter, and all they do in response is crumple the sticky note and move on.
Goodbye Volcano High's story invites the viewer to ask themselves what kind of person they would choose to be towards their friends and family under the worst possible circumstances. Snoot Game tells the viewer to fall in line and be "normal".
