The Ukrainian Ministry of Digital Development is demanding that the largest digital platforms cancel the Russian game Atomic Heart due to the "romanticization of communism."

@Terry anyone who actually played the game wouldn't say that lmao.

@icedquinn @Terry
To be fair, have you seen what the socialists countries look like now?

It is romantic in comparison.

@LukeAlmighty @Terry without spoiling the game it looks exactly like what communist propaganda always said itself was.

and then everything goes to shit because of communist politics.

if you think the game is glamorizing the USSR you didn't watch past the intro lmao

@icedquinn @Terry
I am at the tree fight right now...

I am just joking about the shit we live in now bro.

@driftwood @Terry @icedquinn @LukeAlmighty Lol but they can't even agree on who should fix a wall because their desperate greed to assert muh property collapses as soon as something needs repairs, going from "the wall is MINE" to "The wall is YOURS so you gotta pay to fix it"
@hermit @Terry @icedquinn @LukeAlmighty the problem is they didn't invent a drug that fix walls is all
ayo dem niggas with funny last names sure hold a disproportionate amount of power in media, academia, finance and government :npc:

@icedquinn @Terry @hermit
That is, because the "refutarion" is surface level at best.

Refuting objectivism with "someone has to clean the toalets" is like refuting turfs with "but he's a woman"...

Not only does it not land, but if you understood the basic premise, you wouldn't even bother saying that shit.

@LukeAlmighty @icedquinn @Terry Rent-free trannies yet again, good shit

Anyway the refutation primarily takes the form of "this society was utterly dysfunctional even before it collapsed" and, more importantly, "these people had no chance against the subversive might of a superpower." The CIA ended their city. That's it.
@prouddegenerate @Terry @LukeAlmighty @hermit they don't necessarily refute communism it's just that the power politics interfering with equality actually does appear in the story and is a whole thing.
@prouddegenerate @LukeAlmighty @Terry @hermit there is even a reason the protag is such a commie drone but ITS A SPUMBLER :blobcatnotlikethis2: so
@icedquinn @Terry @LukeAlmighty @hermit me personally I don't care about politics in my games but the game's been in development forever it might not be a coherent thing anymore

Plus the two coomerbot 9000s have annoyed me sufficiently to the point where I want nothing to do with it
@prouddegenerate @Terry @LukeAlmighty @hermit i do indeed laugh at the return of robot fetishes.

haven't seen that in common discourse since the 90s animes. :blobcatlaugh:

@prouddegenerate @Terry @icedquinn @hermit
I am at the opposite side of this.
I don't care about them, but the media had been so sterile lately, that coomerbots and was at least something different enough to trigger some neural activity.
