[QUOTE="Dualazi, post: 7714907, member: 6855537"] This looks amazingly garbage, and I’m kind of surprised to see it posted at all. Enworld usually has a ‘no politics’ rule and there have been numerous threads shut down for even dancing around that arena, and yet many of these are just blatant political propaganda. Some of these don’t even sound like games at all, like “Lipstick” and “Driving to Reunion”. Did the creators want to make actual games, or did they want a pre-scripted youtube clip to put their hashtags on? This is an amusing attempt to put people on the defensive by implying they resent being provoked as opposed to the initial provocateur being in error, but no dice I’m afraid. Possibly literally given the descriptions for most of these. Furthermore, I’m pretty much sure that none of these are going to be thought provoking, on the basis of how ideologically driven they are. Because that’s the point of provoking thought and/or discussion, it entails the possibility of dissent. What if during “Shoutdown to Launch” I decide that “gendered interruptions” aren’t actually a real problem? Does the game account for this and defend it as a legitimate position to hold, or does it assume that this is a serious problem from the outset and nothing can go against this edict? Same gist as before with this, I’m not saying that nothing can ever have feminist influences in it, but if we’re going to “explore” the subject then the author or creator has to take into account that that exploration may lead to rejection of feminism in part or in whole, and I really, really do not think that these “games” allow for that. On the other hand, while I guess there could be a market somehow for things like this, I can’t imagine who this is for. If your group is super into modern feminist causes, then this is stuff you already know and would at best just be indulgence for your own assumed moral superiority. If your group is not already on board with modern feminism, then it’s going to cause serious frustration and division. My group is somewhere in-between, and even they wouldn’t touch this with a ladder split into a ten foot pole because ham-fistedly going through biased political improv sounds about as fun as chewing glass.
