You didn't see murder victims complaining about the first game, roughly one-fifth of women just need to grow a thicker skin :smug:

The game is actively making fun of and dismissing people who use rape as a shock tactic to make their works for edgy and "mature", though I can guess that's hard to see when you're so hellbent on viewing anything even approaching the subject of "rape", whether in a positive or negative light, as something evil that must be erased. The director, who's intent to use rape just to make his film darker, is depicted as an obvious scumbag and just a lovely person in general. The game is not using rape to make itself seem more horrible and edgy, it is trashing those people who do.

But no, implied rape, lets not do any research or think about it too hard, lets just go back to murdering hundreds of dogs and people with drills and screwdrivers where it's safe.

Thank god the white male game devs are here to tell us how awful rape is! If only women would stop being so hysterical so we could enjoy some real commentary in the form of this blood shootymans game.

There's a Hotline Miami manga!



just kidding

However, Hotline Miami is on sale for $5 so if you're one of the few people who doesn't have it, get it. :colbert:

There's a (fantastic) British anthology show called Black Mirror, and the episode White Bear is incredibly HLM-esque. Not just because it features homicidal maniacs in animal masks with improvised weaponry, but because it touches on the same themes of audience participation ("Do you like hurting other people?") and genre conventions that make HLM so great.

So why aren't we playing this yet? I thought they were aiming to be out for PAX or E3 or whatever.

The level creator was also supposed to be a free patch for the original Hotline Miami rather than something used to push its sequel, but :homebrew:
