Why nothing but sexuality/political flags in the customization station?

[decreebass]

I don't have any issue with the various flags, but why is that all there is? Why no peace sign, honk if you're horny, or Calvin pissing on something? Why does it have to be all political and all 100% a particular... leaning? Can we please have some more neutral fun stuff to put on our cars instead of having to have a political message?

The machine lets you apply stickers, shifters, steering wheels, hood ornaments, dashboard ornaments etc. as you collect them in the game. The pride stickers just come unlocked from the get-go

some of the stuff you find in the world is really fun. I've got a handful of steering wheels and I cannot decide between them; they're all REALLY good. rarely does a game just nail having tons of great cosmetics.

I'm glad the game gives you the pride stuff right up-front. Could you imagine finding them in the wild? LOL

Yeah, it is annoying in the sense of " Why only these flags". There are different ones but it is still annoying to see all those flags most people won't use other than to make the car look cool

That...'s actually a really good point lol. Still, I wish they had balanced it out with some neutral, non-sexual/gender/political ones up front. But you're right. I can't imagine running across the "abrosexual (?!?!) flag" out in the wild lol. Oh well. Hopefully I'll be filling it up with non-garbage as I go.

Well, I got a "Horse Girl" sticker after some play.

So unless you hate horses, girls, or horse girls, you'll get your wish after awhile.

you can come across other kinds of stickers and such in the wild. So there are choices other than the various flags of gender identity/sexuality identity etc. I found one that was something along the lines of "designated idiot, do not follow too closely" which I thought was amazing and promptly applied to the rear window as soon as I got back to the garage.

Then the friendly dumpster gave me a Lawyer Bobblehead, which is living contently on the dash until I find a better option.

Imagine how much madder you would be if you had to earn them by finding them?

I mean, they have a sticker about God so... I'd say they balance it out a bit. It's a random drop. And by "about God" I mean it says "Baby on board, he's driving, God help us!" a bit of a joke but they do have a sticker that acknowledges God exists.

Otherwise it's nothing huge or all too aggressive really. There was only one thing that seemed a bit ham fisted and almost forced:

Toward the ending (I'm guessing, I'm still playing) Francis and Tobias being gay. I mean even Tobias' character voice seemed like a totally different person voicing him for that one line "I'll love you forever" and the rest of the dialogue could have been passed off as two close friends given they've spent quite a few years in the area

Honestly, I wouldn't say there's any "agenda" at play here or it's woke. I'd more say the flags were thrown in and that one other piece as means to snag that UN fund for minority representation - can't remember what it's called.

I think the odd thing about the flags is that the game takes place in '98. Many of those terms didn't even exist back then, much less the flags for them.

It would take like 5 minutes to make some funny bumper stickers.

I’d like to see some gamer stickers and maybe some different game themed shifters and things. I was actually
Really impressed when I saw you could change your steering wheel and shifter and things.

It is quite ‘different’ to have the amount of ‘inclusive’ content as they do. Not against it just seems excessive as though they were trying to not offend anyone in the entire world.

Sometimes when you try too hard to make a statement you actually overly highlight a problem.
