I just realized what YIIK reminds me of.
In many ways it is "What if Xavier: Renegade Angel but taking itself seriously"

Funny, a lot of chuds think YIIK is pandering to SJWs.

it could be both. Alex knows his chuddery is not normal and was trying to get more politically aware people to praise the game with certain parts of the writing.

My own interpretation of YIIK is Alex making an entire game about how he "knows" an rear end in a top hat but you should tolerate him as he is anyway. All the stuff about postmodernism, the little comments on racial justice, the attempts at depth and relevancy - the entire game is Alex basically trying to get people looking at this portrait of himself and begging them to say he's okay as he is, that maybe you're a little like him yourself. He's only come out as a misogynist and a chud after that failed, claimed the problem was the audience itself.

So in the end this is a vore game. "I was worried about hurting people, but I didn't know the difference between being flawed, and being evil". No, Alex, you chased after some dead girl tail, got freaked out by an end of the world poo poo, pissed off a lot of people, got them all killed and then made us eat all the souls of every other Alex to somehow fix everything. You're not flawed, you're just a self-insert. And made us you, because that's the only way you'd empathize with anyone else - if they were you that did poo poo for them.

Doesn't that make him porky minch almost exactly

Where is the part where Alex masturbates over a severely injured woman's unconscious body

or is that just the whole game

But instead of "I'm so hosed up" he looks at the camera and says "you know, you're not so different from me"
