What do you enjoy about this?

I like how the game looks, but that's about it.
Gameplay is frustrating, and there is no plot to speak of.
Is there something I'm missing?

I played it for 5 hours and didn't see anything which is considered non-cisheteronormative. The only "woke" part was that it wasn't about a heterosexual cis man saving the day and banging oversexed cis women - which usually makes up 99% of all media. Go and cry about the game to your right wing buddies, if you have friends.

I mean, I agree, but the game is pretty clearly about getting back to your lesbian wife. Like that's openly the driving motivation from the moment you have control.

There's absolutely NOTHING heteronormative about the game lmao

There's nothing in this game that even implies anything sexual and you people are actually delusional. You're actually diminishing the true value of this masterpiece by constantly slandering it as being some woke trash.

The promise was far deeper than some uWu fantasy. That's the whole point. Some people will only see this story at face value, but others will see the far deeper context: A loneliness so deep that it sunk to the bottom of the Sea of Dirac and ended up back where it started with a new perspective of what it always was, like the "Little Gidding".

Trust me, people who joke about sesbian lex or whatever already know this. It's not an attempt to slander the game or devalue it's story, it's purely a bit of fun. You don't need to tell people these things.
It's actually quite common for media with darker elements to have the most happy-go-lucky fan works, while the opposite is true for lighthearted media to a comical extent.

Nor is it "woke trash" either. I should state that the devs previously had a post claiming the game was intended to be completely devoid of discriminatory political elements from real life. There's nothing wrong with a progressive viewpoint.

The problem is the woke mob appropriating everything under their flag when it has nothing to do with them. They taint everything they touch. Again, this is a story about inner space exploration, not DEI/ESG political propaganda.

That's a problem with your perspective. You seem to have a lot of negative feelings about the harmless deeds of strangers.

A dangerous radical political ideology is not "harmless deeds". This game has nothing to do with any of that, and that's the way it needs to stay.

You deleted your playground insult to give me a post like this? Keep this stuff in your head.

What are you crying about?

Why can't you people just enjoy art without trying to politicize everything?

People like you are just the worst.

EDIT: Just because people are still going to completely miss the point, I will articulate it:

The themes of Signalis are wide open for interpretation, which is a great thing, but it is extremely crass to just portray it as some lesbian love story. This is not the central theme at all and it will turn a lot of people away from the game based on the inherent political connotations of such themes in games. This in turn will make the developers think twice about producing more work related to Signalis if it is tied to an arbitrary political agenda.

In my opinion, and I would assume this to be obvious, that the core theme between Ariane and Elster is a love story of between human and machine. And by "love", I mean one of genuine empathy between two souls voyaging together while lost in space. None of the themes in Signalis are necessarily new or groundbreaking; it's just that the game is written in an incredibly interesting and cohesive way that ties outer space and inner space together, which is something that few people have the necessary requisite experience to do.

This theme of humans being in a "relationship" with androids is as old as the concept of automatons. You can watch through the 90s "Outer Limits" series and there are several episodes explicitly revolving around this premise, typically of a corporate guy who is testing out a prototype of an android maid, then ends up in a sexual relationship with it before it develops violent tendencies. Who is watching that and saying that this is an example of a cisgender relationship? So why does it make sense to say that Ariane and Elster are queer? It doesn't.

And not only this, but Signalis has another strong theme of escaping an authoritarian regime that demands conformity to political narratives. There's some strong irony there when people try to portray Signalis as being woke.

The fact that you see a human woman and an android as "two women" displays the indoctrination. As I said earlier, if it were a human male and an android, people would see it as a man and a machine, not a hetero relationship. And that's exactly how it was seen in the 1990s when I was growing up before political agendas were shoehorned into everything.
