It's obscure enough nobody really knows about it. Like you can argue it's front and center on Nintendo systems but you have to really actually pay attention to know it is the game where you slap Literal God in the face with a giant green chariot riding cock.

Bayonetta is probably more upfront "wow, how is this not getting complained about" because it is a game about a stripping sexy witch who made contracts with The Literal Devils Of Hell so she could murder angels in violent and often borderline pornographic ways.

Also I think the time for moral panic about Satanism in Video Games has past. We're now worried about The Gays and The Transes.

Are the gays even still a source of outrage and controversy? Like, I know what happened with Mass Effect 1 and FOX News but that was a long, long time ago now. Subsequent BW games, especially in Dragon Age or ME3 and Andromeda, went pretty hard on gay romances compared to ME1. That battle is long lost.

As for Satanism, didn't Lucifer have a TV show? If that kinda poo poo is happening, a sort of third tier (in terms of sales and stuff) Japanese RPG probably won't ruffle any feathers.

My local church (who is proLGBT) had a bunch of people protesting it yesterday because they didn't want the pedophile gay and transes near their kids for the pumpkin patch. Mainstream conservative thought has gone fully back on gays needing their rights stripped as much as trans people the past like 4 years.

"Tell that to Zod's snapped neck!"

Gay marriage is next on the list of “rights the Supreme Court are itching to take away” now that they took care of Roe v Wade so the homophobes are pushing full force against people being ok with the gays. We’re back to “gays are going to corrupt the youths if they’re allowed to teach”

There will sadly always be shitheads but luckily gay acceptance has never been higher in the history of this country. 71% of American support same-sex marriage.

From what I've heard, Conservatives don't care if homosexuals and Tanssexuals want rights or full marrage or whatever. They're sick and tired of the victim mentality that comes with "minority" status and want them to shut the gently caress up.

That won't stop the other 30% from taking it away, nor does it erase the constant prejudice being spouted on a literal regular basis by the people who are in charge of making laws and those that support them, nor does it stop the beatings and violence. And that isn't even getting into the fact that trans individuals are the new scapegoats for literally everything.

Like loving hell dude, there are states right now trying to make it illegal to discuss gay people in any sort of public place.

I assume "from what you heard' is a poorly veiled cover for your own opinion, but this is literally provably false by the fact that they are making laws about it.

Yeah as parts of the country push to remove the ability to transition from both teens and young adults and probably soon just anyone in general going "Huh I don't really notice htat people are lovely about LGBTQ people anymore. It polls so well!" isn't just tone deaf, it's actively harmful.

A poll about support for gay marriage does not an accepting society or legal framework make.
