NGDBSS posted:There's a reason you can find it sometimes referred to as "cogservatism". Merely parroting the aesthetic without engaging the underlying issues is naive as hell and oh so common. Even this game is an aesthetic shitshow compared to something like... I dunno, Girl Genius? I don't actually know of that many steampunk properties.

GrandmaParty posted:This is the first I've heard of the underlying issues because I've been under the assumption that it was a purely aesthetic issue. The social downsides of the early industrial revolution era like robber barons, colonialism and child labor, probably. Compare steampunk to cyberpunk, the latter of which had a better track record of extrapolating corporation-friendly politics into a dismal future before it also fell into the trap of being enamored with its aesthetics in the mid-90s.
