I’m talking with some friends over how some of the dream daddy fandom went down.
It took like a week before an artist got death threats over fanart and the devs had to step in and even the devs started getting harassed and death threats.
and before that, people harassed the devs over having to push back the release date so they could work on fixing a game-breaking bug.
and before that people harassed the devs over the “cult ending” that doesn’t even exist.
and then before that people spread rumors and told people to pirate the game because it was profiting off of LGBT people and developed by cishet white guys (Game Grumps) even though they didn’t do anything except promote the game and lend their voices.
and as a bonus, that one asshole that tried to scam people into making what was basically a rip off of dream daddy.
and within like, a month or two of the games release the fandom had died out. It’s sad because Dream Daddy from what I know is an actually good game. It’s just that the level of drama and identity politics within the fandom basically killed it. People want and literally talk about craving diversity and representation in media but when they get it, they just ajdlfakdafdfad fucking demolish and find everything that is wrong with it.
People are, for some inexplicable reason, more critical of people actually trying to represent LGBT issues and communities than they are of people Actively pretending we don’t exist.
People, especially on Tumblr, are unkind and stupid.
