I like how the $5000 tier reward doesn't actually include a copy of the game itself and you have to shell out another $15 for that.

E: no wait, actually what I like is that you have to pay another $10 to have your name redacted from the backer credits.

I know it's parody but I couldn't break 15 seconds into the kickstarter video.

Nice recycling of the Sextoy ISIS flag though.

I appreciated reading the Artist Statement on the ISIS dating sim. I also really appreciate how the social media manager has the smallest penis.

kinda weird that the hero is a white CIA operative. I don't know man, at first i thought it was just all detached irony but reading the kickstarter it looks like the creators got a lot of poo poo she's working through.

Given that's she's worked on Cards Against Humanity, I'm sure we can count on a lot of nuance and attention to the minutae of creating a culturally sensive parody.

It's basically an extended Newgrounds flash parody with disturbingly good (relatively) production values.

ah ok. That makes so much sense now. Still the artist statement is kind of insane. it reminds me of the girl in high school who discovers feminist theory but she also feels the need to justify her Vegeta bodypillow.

I mean, the creator wrote about this kinda thing in the Artist Statement section of the website

quote:

While the game directly addresses I***'s gender politics, it is equally informed by my identity as a middle eastern person in modern-day America. The Super Patriotic Dating Simulator is specifically about I*** because of American perception of the middle east. To many white Americans, I*** is just a group of brown boogeymen in the desert. I*** is universally disavowed by Muslims - they are not a representative depiction of Islam. And yet, Americans tend to use I*** as the face of Islam and the middle east, and that terrifies me because they literally can't tell us apart and think we deserve to die. The Super Patriotic Dating Simulator is a satire about this American perception. It's a satire of the dehumanizing, inaccurate, atrocious politics of American perception of middle eastern people. It's a desperate plea that we recognize how harmful that perception is.

Only people who own the game can leave a review on it. Think about who would even buy it in the first place.

It seems Valve already deleted the game from Steam but the community page still exists and is pretty wild:

it gets better: abstractism also had inventory items that were exact replicas of expensive TF2 items, so you could buy the game and scam people with it

item drops only happened while you were running both the "game" and the crypto-miner

Miyazaki's specific concerns are over the lack of attention paid to people in real life. He said people in the industry "don't spend time watching real people" and can be characterized as "humans who can't stand looking at other humans." He then called the industry "full of otaku."

My assumption is that she desperately needs a torso transplant, which is also why she's taking this gig that clearly disgusts her. There's a pretty heavy down payment for those organs, you know?

Yes. Also the quote isn't just referring to the anatomy of people, but also that anime is moving further and further away from anything that could be described as recognizable human behaviors and motivations.
