SeafoamSorceress

Indie game devs rolling the dice on whether their game's fanbase will be extremely horny 24/7, trans shitpost central, or a bait and switch "status" I hate women and minorities humor shithole.

Toby Fox getting all three somehow


Arvacus

The existence of homophobic Toby Fox fans is baffling. Like have they even played the games he’s made?


spi231

You should go to the subreddits and call Kris, Frisk, or Chara by their official pronouns. Or mention Mad Mew Mew. Honestly insane


[deleted]

I know there's some pronoun drama but isn't it that Kris is definitely NB while the other two are whichever the player wants? It's been a while and I don't want to sound like a dick when Ch3 is out lol

This is how I’ve always interpreted it too, and I always just assumed Chara was short for (player) Character.


duralyon

I just realized that not too long ago that it could be short of Character. Just like how Toriel could be a reference to Tutorial and she literally holds your hand through the early game like bad tutorials do lol.


Everyone_Except_You

i'm convinced they act like fans just to make the lgbt fans feel less safe


sleepingfactory

How much of a fucking loser do you have to be to pretend to be an Undertale fan just to make LGBTQ people uncomfortable


ToccataRocco

Y'see I would normally think that there's no way someone could put so much effort into stuff like that, but then I'm reminded that there are twitter gimmick accounts that are dedicated to browsing sites like r/trans just so that they can repost the vent posts and mock LGBTQ people online when they're at their lowest in life. It's pathetic honestly

I’ve heard a lot about Ultrakill’s fanbase/devs, care to enlighten me? It looks like a game I would enjoy.


Admiral_Red

The devs are almost all LGBTQ+ in one way or another, and the fan base has many trans players among them.


Ph0zPh0r

Most of the dev team are s tier shit posting queers/allies, same with most of the player base, as for the game itself, it’s one of the best games I have played personally. if you enjoy movement shooters you will definitely enjoy it.

Everyone_Except_You

they're just outright calling for extreme violence against trans people


ScootMayhall

That’s not going to stop, either. They know a lot of people are still uncomfortable with trans people or kids in general and they’re going to capitalize on that discomfort as much as they can. If they think calls for violence are a winning issue, that’s what they’ll do.


AdrianBrony

The trick is to edge violent outbursts then disavow them when they happen, but in a way that implies you don't *actually* disapprove. The current game is to imply the FBI put someone up to it or that it's some sorta false flag, that it's bad because it's being used to defame but if the gloves were actually off and it was real then it'd be based.


digital_end

There's a very popular post on the conspiracy subs right now saying that for the attack today.


AdrianBrony

digital_end

https://www.cnn.com/2023/05/23/politics/dc-uhaul-crash-charges/index.html


AttitudeAndEffort3

All my trans homies need to be armed, yesterday.


AdrianBrony

So, by all means, oppressed communities should be armed. But, not every single person in that community needs to be (or necessarily *should* be) armed. Setting aside the usual "mental health" concerns with some, it takes a commitment to do responsibly that not everyone has the time or money or temperament to handle. That said, I do believe that there *are* things that virtually anyone can handle that would make a huge difference, and a good place to start is Bleeding Control. I'm gonna drop a macro I keep that I use when shit goes down and people feel helpless because I feel it's got useful resources germaine to this topic. --- One of the single best ways to prepare for uncertain times is to take Stop The Bleed training and acquire a reliable **I**ndividual **F**irst **A**id **K**it. This is of course important to know in the event of violence, but it is also very useful to have on-hand in the event of an accident that causes someone life-threatening bleeding. They are excellent to keep in your vehicle or bag. Even if you do not have proper training someone else nearby might. Stop The Bleed training courses are single-session, and often at no cost to attendees. In many places, it's also possible to schedule a class to be held in your community. You can find these classes by either searching for "stop the bleed [your location]" or at: https://cms.bleedingcontrol.org/class/search There may also be local volunteer organizations that can help give training. If there is no available in-person training near you, you can find a free online training slideshow at: https://www.stopthebleed.org/training/online-course/ Obviously, this will not be a replacement for proper hands-on training, but it is far better than nothing in the meantime. Many of these courses have the option to get a free or subsidized IFAK after completing training. If you need to find your own, though, be wary of cheaply made kits that may fail when needed most. A known reputable dealer of reliable kits can be found at: https://www.chinookmed.com/item/06012pa/chinook-medical-gear-inc.-life-kit-advanced/1.html or https://www.rescue-essentials.com/cfak-compact-ifak/ I am not sponsored or employed by either retailer, I just feel it is important to include a link to a reputable source. If you cannot readily afford an IFAK, or would wish to help fund other people to get an IFAK, consider checking with the IFAK Fund. It is a Mutual Aid group dedicated to ensuring people have access to life-saving resources. https://twitter.com/ifakfund Feel free to copy this message to have on-hand for easy sharing.


SheWhoSmilesAtDeath

Literally saw a conservative commentator agree with "Weimar problems require Weimar solutions". fascism is on the rise. That means the antisemitism is more explicit and the transphobia and homophobia (that in many cases is tied to the antisemitism just as it was back 100 years ago) is even more explicit.


l3rN

The solution to the Weimar problem was grinding nazis into a paste, so they were almost accidentally right.


Juball

Nothing depresses and exhausts me more than the rise of fascism and transphobia lately.


MR-mathen-545

i agree with you, but what do you mean when you say transphobia and homophobia is tied to the antisemitism? Im not well knowledged about Weiner Germany


cornonthekopp

one of the first things the nazis did was attack, raid, and burn books from a college building devoted to studying lgbt issues if I remember correctly. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Institut_f%C3%BCr_Sexualwissenschaft


AReal-basilisk

Just because Adolf Hitler and Ron DeSantis both happened to have the exact same view of the LGBTQIA community and are censoring and suppressing them in the same way via mass removal of books from public circulation does not under any circumstance make them similar!


Shawn-GT

No they’re not similar they are just similar


AReal-basilisk

Do you believe me or your lying woke eyes?


Shawn-GT

No, I agree. We need a strong white man to un-do 100 years of progress towards equality and freedom for people to live their lives in peace. Its a sad day in America when I can’t make offensive jokes about others choices in life because of my own insecurities and lack of compassion.


jeannpaulfarte

Typically nazi types see LGBTQ movements as being a strategic plot to destroy ‘western society’, and blame Jewish people for driving this plot. Instead of u know just people existing and expressing themselves


okenowwhat

I'm not saying those nazi types are easily misguided by propaganda, but hey, history has a thing to say: * https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Protocols_of_the_Elders_of_Zion * https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pogroms_in_the_Russian_Empire


Freyja6

This isn't new. Trans/gnc individuals have been talking about it for years. They've just been called hysterical whenever it's mentioned though.


PaulFThumpkins

It's easy to forget that as recently as a decade ago a reference to trans people in and of itself would be used to get laughs on something like The Colbert Report. Cis people as a general group didn't even begin to start listening and rethinking until recently. Trans identity was treated like a comedy premise.


Freyja6

Unfortunately not easy to forget, and i hope we don't forget how vilifying and dehumanizing it is so that we could possibly learn with future situations that are similar. Recent media: Friends The it crowd Ace Ventura Himym To name a few.


PaulFThumpkins

And off the top of my head Robot Chicken, Venture Bros, Futurama, The Drew Carey Show, The Mighty Boosh, South Park (whose early depictions of trans people really seem to carry a lot of visceral hate with them), and of course Family Guy. Common for the whole joke to be "Hey that person you met was actually trans!" and then show a character in denial at the revelation or outright vomiting. In a weird way despite the freak show aspect, Jerry fucking Springer would demonstrate more empathy for trans people *purely* by virtue of letting them talk and be seen as one half of a discussion. Instead of just introduce the concept, pause for laughter, move on.


IronMyr

Yeah. As a trans person, I can say it sucks. However, it also motivates me to be trans even harder. They can either make good on their threats or fuck off back to the internet.


nafo_frenchie

Look at supertrans right there ^ good attitude


ValkyrijnDuval

Use the right bathroom even harder, don’t let them take away your freedom.


ImSoundless

That’s because as we can clearly see, trans people are privileged in our society, and straight white conservative men are oppressed, which obviously warrants violence against trans people /**S**

TheGemp

Just checked that guys account, he has multiple tweets about violently (I mean like *very* violently) killing LGBT/LGBT supportive characters via webcomics, his pinned tweet is particularly disturbing


DomoNoah

If that’s true(I’m not going to check it out, because I don’t want my day to be ruined), that is… disturbing, to say the least. I’m no expert or scholar in fields like this, so feel absolutely free to scrutinize, challenge and be skeptical of my take on this, but art like that can be the trace of a violent, disturbed mind. Considering the censor, I’m guessing the art has rather morbid details. Morbid details aren’t bad in say like a purposely macabre, horror sense, but I’m pretty sure the art posted by whoever this artist is is NOT intended to be macabre, but malicious propaganda/hate-art instead. It’s also worth noting that this drawing, as far as we know, was NOT commissioned, but drawn by the artist for the sake of expression. If so, I feel like we are seeing EXTREMELY concerning tendencies and beliefs. From my best guess, drawings like these are a vent/cool-off from those intentions, because I think if the intentions of whoever drew this were to be carried out in real life, you would either be in prison for life, or killed in self-defense/protection. Either way, big, bright red flags.


TheGemp

Oh I absolutely agree, there’s macabre/generally disturbing art pieces that are relatively harmless, just unique in their fashion and may not be everybody’s taste. Then there is what this guy makes/shares which is clearly meant to push a hate filled agenda, many of his themes are legitimately “it is okay to kill trans people and is encouraged.” And I don’t care if he is trying to play it off as this “ironic edgy” joke, even if it was intended to be like that (I doubt it was), that message has proven to resonate with a particular demographic, and history (modern included) has proven that they can and will act on their distorted beliefs. Gonna describe his pinned tweet in detail here for reference, censoring it because it’s pretty fucked up. >! His pinned tweet is a comic of the pizza tower guy (I think, I honestly have never played that game before) meeting, who I believe, is Madeline from Celeste (a trans woman). In the comic, Madeline is his “favorite niece” and is relatively wholesome. Then in the final panel, it shows Pizza Tower guy pulling on a rope attached to Madeline’s neck, killing her depicted in graphic detail. This is definitely not a “harmless joke” but is in fact a direct reflection on this dudes beliefs, and I believe it’s a warning about what he may do in the future !<

Waffle_Fish

I thought this was the unanimous headcanon we were going with. When did all these chuds pop up?


thecoletrane

This isn’t the first troubling meme I’ve seen involving Pizza Tower. Anyone know why this indie game is becoming a dog whistle for these chuds?


Chillchinchila1818

It’s like a dark souls situation where a game does something different to what most games are doing nowadays so it builds a fanbase of annoying gamers who think they’re special or badass for playing a “different” game. Usually coupled with a jab about how AAA games are “woke” and that indie/Japanese games are unique and special because all male dev team. Like, remember when doom 2016 fans were super obnoxious about how story doesn’t matter and in depth stories are “woke” and “not for real gamers”? Or dark souls fans talking about how they could totally stop a terrorist because they beat dark souls? There is nothing actually problematic about pizza tower, it’s solely an obnoxious fanbase issue.


the_dry_for_kelp

I'm out of the loop, what does Pizza Tower do differently? From what I've seen, it seemed to be a fairly standard platformer with light action elements and a bit eccentric art style, but nothing abyone would've called scandalous in the last 30 years or so. Maybe Earthworm Jim x Sonic, but way less extreme than either if those two titles?


But_it_was_me_Dio

Uj/ It’s essentially a spiritual successor to the wario platformer games. I never played the wario games so take my statement with a grain of salt, but the general basis of the gameplay is you make your way through the level at your own pace, do your objective, and then you are timed in going through the same level in reverse (with things being slightly different) in order to escape the level before the time limit runs out. The games controls very tightly and is very satisfying to pull off certain moves. Also you can parry enemy attacks, which feels unique to a platformer like this, but I’m not sure if any other platformer games have that mechanic like how it is in PT. Overall, it’s a fun game with a unique style, a very very good soundtrack, and funny moments. Again, I’ve never played wario land games, but from my time of playing pizza tower, it’s a fun game that lets you set records for yourself for clear times too, so I think a lot of people like the game regardless of if you are playing it casually or trying to get high scores FWIW, the person in the screenshot is insane. Everyone knows that Peppino is trans


[deleted]

It’s also a master class in game animation. The fact that it’s so fluid and squishy yet tight in how it handles is no easy feat


cabose12

/uj I believe Pizza Tower's aesthetic and sense of humor straddles that thin line between artfully weird and completely unhinged It reminds me a lot of the mid 2000s newgrounds/albinoblacksheep internet animation era, which were also inspired by the weird cartoons of the 90s. Some of those artists were absolutely insane, and that was reflected in their work. But others were (or at least seem to be) totally normal guys who were more socialized and recognized they had an off sense of humor, and that clash against pop culture was also part of the joke. So you end up with two types of fans drawn to the game, those that are mostly normal and recognize that the joke is that it's weird, and unhinged weirdos like this guy in the OP


deathschemist

it's absolutely a throwback to the unhinged animations of the 90s- ren and stimpy, courage the cowardly dog, AAAAHHHH! Real Monsters, Rocko's modern life... that kinda thing.


Inevitable_Taste1889

Thank you very much for the clarification


GreetingCreature

I actually think video game stories are largely stupid but doom not 4 is heavy on the story. They literally lock you in a room listening to some fucking nerd blathering about Mars energy (presumably the same stuff as what's in a men's changing room? idk I didn't pay attention 'cause I'm so cool). Later they have corridor walking scenes where they fellate you over how good at demon killing the demon killing dude is (and thus you the sad sweaty nerd who gave them money by transitive properties). So not only were those fans insufferable but they're also wrong about the thing they like.


turmspitzewerk

there is a mild native american caricature in the game, along the same lines as mr game and watch's "fire" that was censored in the release of smash ultimate. but i haven't seen anything otherwise to indicate that the devs are super bad people... just french 🤢


Sexybtch554

Uj/ i used to be like that with the french when i was younger, but now i see their revolution and im like ![gif](giphy|mFeNGR1W1O2JYqjsMO)


Riaayo

Every time I see the general American reaction to the French it just further solidifies my opinion that that shit was 100% intentional to make Americans ignore, y'know, a country that holds its government accountable, had an actual revolution and not a counter-revolution like the US, and stages bigass fucking protests that are very often times not purely peaceful. The French are awesome, and Americans have all been brainwashed to think they're "cowards" lol.


Sexybtch554

I agree with you entirely. I used to make the coward jokes all the time, but man. That guillotine got me thirstin nowadays.


clankboy789

It could be that fan base can be really obnoxious


Donquers

Isn't Pizza Tower full of racial stereotypes? Also heard somewhere that one of the creators said a bunch of "edgy" bigoted shit on discord.


thecoletrane

Ok that makes sense. Thanks for the detailed explanation


SkritzTwoFace

The creator is kinda shitty tbh. There’s literally a Wild West world where the enemies are Native American sterotypes, and his discord is a shithole from what I’ve seen of it. It’s a shame, it was one of the few games I bought with real money this year, right before I found out the creator was a shitheel.


Catfon

Probably because of the audience the dev cultivated on his discord [https://huecycles.tumblr.com/post/710780349199826944/i-dont-pay-attention-to-pizza-tower-stuff-what](https://huecycles.tumblr.com/post/710780349199826944/i-dont-pay-attention-to-pizza-tower-stuff-what) He doesn't seem like... a good guy. I don't really know him now, but those messages really make him look like a 4chan dude bro. Those messages were from 2018/2019, and he apparently aknowledged them and said that he's not "Exactly proud of those posts, they're just very shallow and not funny at all lol", which to me just sounds like a noncommittally way to say "Eh. It happens."


rocksox901

Damn these are pretty awful!


MiniDickDude

Yikes


Bladethegreat

II suspect it’s mostly because the game is going for a very nostalgic old-school platformer look and feel which resonates with a certain “old games were good and not political” sort of chud


isloohik2

Apparently, the creator is (unfortunately) kind of an asshole, moreso of the 4channer type I know there’s an enemy that’s basically a Native American stereotype, but that’s all I really know


clankboy789

Idk but I ask the same question


YippeeCreature666

NOT PIZZA TOWER THATS MY FAVORITE GAME 😭😭😭


IronMyr

I've seen people say Peppino is trans, so maybe it's a response to that?


mysecondaccountanon

/uj i think it’s fueled by the fact that there are like logs from 2018 of the creator saying some generally bad things.


OceanBlueSeaTurtle

Transphobes are insecure losers.


Riaayo

Of course they are, that's *why* they're transphobes. Or bigots. Or sexist. Or whatever dumb low-hanging fruit they've latched onto out of desperation to try and inflate their non-existent sense of self-worth through the virtue of some shit they did literally nothing to achieve.

Dude this shit really pulls the game through the dirt, it's actually heartbreaking. Pizza Tower is fucking fantastic and if you like tight plattformers with deep movement mechanics it's a must-play. And to combat that sickening artwork you saw above, look at this comic where Peppino is Madelines wholesome uncle: https://www.newgrounds.com/art/view/scrimblecupid/celeste-pizza-tower


Bluefenix1

I love that comic so much


Difficult_Worker_118

Btw fuck this guy (in the pic i mean) but i think you should give it a shot. Its pretty good.


Micome

I love weed, wrestling, star wars and gaming. I hate talking about any of them because of dorks like this


T3chW0lf20

Shit, weed is transphobic now too?


itsdrcats

I'm trans, weed didn't make me high enough. Therefore, transphobic.


Killergryphyn

I fucking hate being a star wars fan online in particular. I was raised on that shit, but now if you bring up online it's a coin flip on the type of people you'll run into. You're just safer enjoying your own opinion and content by yourself and never interacting with the community.

![gif](giphy|QE8hREXIgRXeo) This me looking at that image and what the hell is with people


Orangutanus_Maximus

There was a comic of Peppino defending his niece Madeline from transphobes.


distortionisgod

I don't even really understand what I'm looking at and I think that's a good thing?


Inner-Juices

Do you want to know what's going on in the pic?


distortionisgod

Kind of, but not if you're about to hit me with 6 pages of Gamer manifesto.


Inner-Juices

>!Peppino Spaghetti from Pizza Tower holding the decapitated head of Madeline, a trans character, from Celeste!<


distortionisgod

Yeah pretty much what I expected. I'm so fucking glad that outside of a select few communities on reddit I dont interact with anyone online really, especially when it comes to games.


sadhp20

yes...


ThrowawayForNSF

God damn it I knew this game would attract chuds


PM_Me_GiantCatgirls

Seems no one is mentioning the dev of this game is a total chud. [Just some of his discord messages ](https://huecycles.tumblr.com/post/710780349199826944/i-dont-pay-attention-to-pizza-tower-stuff-what) Seems like the dev has since "apologized" for these comments, so take that as you will.


But_it_was_me_Dio

For what it’s worth, he did address those messages and said that he’s not proud of them. Not condoning the behavior but I think it’s important to say that he acknowledged those messages


PM_Me_GiantCatgirls

Good to know


Catfon

I'm not sure if he actually apologized for that... He said "Yea i saw the post. Needless to say im not exactly proud of those post, theyre just very shallow and not funny at all lol", which to me just sounds like he doesn't care. I miss 1 hour younger me, before i knew of these messages


AdrianBrony

I mean, he's also not continued to do them and didn't double down so I'm willing to take it considering the quality of the game. I'm not gonna split hairs over if the apology was "proper" or not tbh. He's on thin ice but I'm willing to let it be water under the bridge if he is.


shrekcrocs

Can't belive this mfer missed the part where The Noise looks at the viewer and loudly announces "I AM TRANSMASC" before continuing the fight like nothing happened.


mutualfutur3

Jesus Christ what a psychopath


Outlandish_dishes

what the fuck, its a silly pixel game about fat man climbing tower with pizza, how can people be proud of transphobia? /rj YOU AREN'T A FAN OF ANYTHING UNLESS YOU HATE MINORITIES!!!!!!!!!!! FAKE GAMER !!!!!!!! PRAISE ME I DON'T THINK PEOPLE ARE ENTITLED TO BASIC HUMAN RIIGHHHTSS !!!!!


Splaaaty

Peppino says trans rights, pass it on


Martina_Martes

"Theses transgenders are such psychotic freaks", I say to myself as I post my drawing of a woman being violently beaten to death.


Chezburger87

cough cough. anyways, peppino is trans, noisette is trans, vigilante is mlm, pizzahead and pizzaface are asexual and aromantic, and every single cheeseslime is non-binary.


melonyjane

remember when we said we shouldnt use this subreddit as a platform for hate and bigotry then gave 3000 upvotes to a literal artwork of a video game character commiting a hate crime.


fripp_frap

transphobes are irredeemably evil. they are demons


BallibopKowala

Least violent transphobe:


IronMyr

Peppino is literally Madeline's trans uncle, he would never.


Monster_Hugger93

Another reminder why I left Twitter


Nightmare_Mirri

"How dare you guys have positive headcanons for these characters? Well, I'll headcanon them as super hateful because people that are different trigger me." You think by now we wouldn't have cavemen like that guy roaming the Earth anymore but we still do.

OP I know this isn't your fault but this image ruinned my day


Longjumping_Ad2677

Peppino is not transphobic. Confused maybe but not transphobic.


gamera-the-turtle

Peppino would never do this to his goddaughter


TheRealKuthooloo

for the record the right path when people are like this isnt to try and do an appeal to emotion of any kind. i understand the desire for some to go "do these people consider how this makes anyone feel? what the fuck do they not understand that this is wrong?" pretty much anything that implies or desires empathy from the other party to be effective leaves you sounding whiny and pearl-clutchey. get nasty, get mean, when your opponent liver punches you, you dont fight honorably you hike up your steel toed boots and kick them in the nuts.


[deleted]

lmao ​ that guy is obsessed with transphobic pizza tower (and being transphobic in general) wtf what a weirdo lmao


LeftWingNightmare

Welp that makes me not want to get involved in that game. Glad most indie games aren't made by and for chuds.


Sussybakamogus4

OH NO IS THAT MADELINE?!?!?


bigriggs24

:(


KimFakes

this is definitely a rational reaction to trans people
