Well that is the history of so many popular games in the past. Like GTA3 had parents lobbying to have it banned from sale and Doom was blamed for school shooters and shit. It's just funny how it's gone full circle with the far left now being the hardcore controlling puritans trying to ban everything that offends them.Looks like a sizable effort is being made to suppress this one. Either it'll work and the game will fizzle out, or it'll turn into a cult phenomenon and blow up just because of all the attention being paid to it in an effort to suppress it.
Usually attempts to crush a game end up backfiring and making it much more popular than it would have been, but for a minor game like this, IDK. Also it looks pretty goofy, not like this is Sound of Freedom or anything.

Funny thing is, a game like this used to be commonplace among sites like Newgrounds.com, they had loads of highly offensive and politically motivated games full of violence.
5% of a population can start a revolution and remake a country even if the other 95% isn't buying what they're selling, if they're fervent enough.
depends on how much power (money/force/resources/influence) they have. The last few years has been an outstanding referendum against idpol and social-Marxist ideology. The Public is over that nonsense.
Yup today's left wing influence over media reminds me of what I learned about the way art was being controlled by "the academy" and the church before big movements like impressionism. Like back in the day all art had to fall under the strict "academy" guidelines which were basically dictated by the church, and the vast majority of art was religious as a result. It's a mentality that harks back to the dark ages, when the church basically had total control over the government and society. Thing is today, the church has been replaced by the woke movement and leftist ideology, but all the rest seems to be falling in line with that old academy church situation, as today's higher education basically acts the same as gatekeepers that indoctrinate with specific standards.The difference is that the far left actually does have the ability to get things banned / removed from various platforms / widely condemned by their drones.
Back in the day, the Christian right didn't really have any sway over GTA3 or Doom. They just complained a lot, got chuckled at by the mainstream, and their followers gave up and moved on.
What we're seeing today is a new kind of religious fervor that's unlike anything I've ever seen before. Like I was at a cosplay convention not long ago and noticed a lot of people were specifically saying "Bluesky" whenever they talked about social media to the crowd. Like "I was browsing Bluesky and saw" or "this is totally going on Bluesky" etc etc. Despite that Bluesky is used by a tiny fraction of the population, and like 1/50th the userbase of Twitter if that, you'd think it was all anybody uses. Didn't hear a single person say anything about twitter, or general "social media", or even "the internet". It was all blueskyblueskybluesky as that was a way to instantly gain social credit with the other adherents (these people are also young and think anybody actually cares what social media they use).
Again, it's a new kind of religious fervor, it permeates everything some people do and say, and it's just a matter of time before everyone else realizes the kind of zealotry that we're dealing with now from the hardcore 10-15% of the population that I'm referring to. 5% of a population can start a revolution and remake a country even if the other 95% isn't buying what they're selling, if they're fervent enough.
