But Japanese game can’t be woke!!!!1!1!

Shigesato Itoi (Creator of the Mother series) on Gay People.
Itoi: "Well, for example, there’s a gay person in MOTHER 2. A really passionate friend who lives in an England-like place. I designed him to be a gay child. In a normal, real-life society, there are gay children, and I have many gay friends as well. So I thought it would be nice to add one in the game, too."
- Source for the quote (they also link to the original Japanese which is equally unambiguous)
- THAT’S WHY HE’S THE GOAT

LGBTQ people don't exist in Japan. When a trans person tries to enter glorious Nippon they explode into flames like a vampire trying to enter a church, because the land of anime is so based and trad-pilled.

Never played AI: The Somnium Files but I've heard it recommended a lot (just as a good game in general) and now I learn that its creator is based as hell
- I found the thread referenced in that article and came across this sick burn
  
  I wonder if that frenchie thinks all LGBT+ people are "petit bourgeois"? These weirdos don't even know what the words they use mean
- I absolutely LOVED these games. They are probably my favorite VNs that I've finished, though they are really VN + puzzles. The characters are generally great imo and they're very queer friendly games. I personally like the humor, but it's extremely horny (the humor, the game is SFW) just as a warning, since that might rub some people the wrong way. The anime Punch Line was also by Uchikoshi and shares some of the same themes (scifi, identity/reality-bending, queer-friendly, extremely horny jokes), so if anyone here has seen that I'd say there are a lot of similarities, though I like the Somnium Files games better.

Here's the full speech from the first game: https://youtu.be/ltayhGHe66E
And from the second: https://youtu.be/EKTwi9grzCM
Mama, the character she's talking to, is openly trans and runs a gay bar. In the second game she has two crystal balls she rubs frequently and many lewd jokes come from that, as you might imagine.
If you're going to play them, don't look up too much since there are important plot twists you want to avoid spoiling btw.
EDIT: The first game is 85% off on steam right now, so $5.99. Second game is also discounted to $11.99.
