How preachy is this game with regards to SJWism?

[WickedKae]

Loved the first game because it was just a fun game that did not take real life seriously. Will I be hearing how horrible white people are by every character in this game? I want to grab it, but I can't support racism against any race.

It's fine, just play.

[ReticentLily]

Didn't encounter anything of the sort in regards to racism while playing, despite what some people on this forum will play.

It isn't heavy on critical race applied principles, but it is heavy on "diversity."

It isn't preachy or racist towards anyone.

What an unbelievably, profoundly stupid question.

[Runic Tunic]

Pretty much nonexistent. Nothing is really shoved down your throat, and anything that could even be remotely construed as "SJW" is never openly acknowledged by the characters or play any major role in the story whatsoever. You could literally swap out whatever it is and it would change nothing about the story.

Like HighLanderPony said, just play.

"Just play" is horrible advice. If you just play without advanced warning, how will you go out of your way to finds things to be offended about?

[farmergreg073]

The cool thing now is to be offended about everything instead of just enjoying a game for what it is. Don't you know?

Are there even white people in this game? They all look like crazy and colorful to me.

You know that stuff only has to affect you if you let it affect you.

There are cultural references but races are.....vague to say the least. Some characters of the same family will have the same physical features but be completely different tones in color. Some people from the same place/country will be also be completely different colors and you wouldn't even realize they were from the same place unless the game said otherwise.

Obviously, asking whether or not a game has specific political points of view is a very worthwhile question, especially, in this day and age.

As well, asking such a question is NOT being “offended.”

That would be a logical fallacy.

As well, Id argue that your point of view, namely, that of a scoffer is, for a certain side of the debate, the typical code of conduct.

ie. the “cool thing”

Oh calm down. It was a joke. Asking about the kind of message a game is trying to send is fine.

However, read the OP again. He's either trolling, or he's so far gone that he believes his own ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. Nothing about it is serious and if it is, it's more to mock than to encourage discussion.

Anyone who played the first game knows it had a lot of more intense and dark subject matter and there's never been any "race" hating ♥♥♥♥ in Psychonauts.

This is like the 4th post today complaining about some boogieman that doesnj't exist, and extremists clutching their pearls about the game pushing some left-wing agenda and racial supremacy.

Best case scenario, the OP is mocking the other people/posts making outrageous claims. Worst case scenario, he's just being a troll.

Either way, I'm not going to take anything said in this thread seriously. And frankly, neither should you. The OP definitely won't.

JFC you people are obsessed. This ♥♥♥♥ keeps getting asked over and over and over

A lot of the game developers you support are liberal, I guarantee it.

Deal with it.

It has teh gayz in it so you might wanna stay away from it, might be a little too essjaydoubleyewey for someone of your sensibilities
