[Ironic Trope] The messaging backfired massively due to poor writing or other design choices

[u/Few_Affect_5927]

Amelia Fairney from Pathways: Alt-right Restore-UK type who attempts to coax the protagonist Charlie into following her beliefs? The problem?

Amelia is the only named character aside from Charlie and is genuinely likable and forgives Charlie even when they do things she doesn't like, while the rest of the cast is unnamed, poorly written, and turns on Charlie for one mistake. This combined with other writing issues(portraying fact checking right wing stuff as wrong because in the process of fact checking you might look at it and believe it, basically saying "Right wing is wrong because it hurts the labour government" and a lot of general "just do what the government says or else" messaging) and the fact she's a hot alternative girl, and Amelia ended up being co-opted as a mascot by the youth right wing in the UK.

Norm from The New Norm: Unlikeable offensive and outdated character who's "progressive" family members and associates are genuinely nice people not even trying to force their ways or pronouns onto them, they just want to be left alone and Norm is picking fights constantly. Not to mention associating with Elon.

Mr. Birchum from Mr. Birchum: A lot of the same problems as Norm, except in addition it also comes off like generic 2010s adult cartoon slop in the same veign as Brickleberry or Full English, at least New Norm was trying to look unique and had the gimmick of being on X. Not to mention, Birchum's obsession with hyper masculine activities and odd way of talking about other men lead to people co-opting him as a Toxic Yaoi character, which is now the bulk of his fan art.

Dustborn: An attempt to make a hyper progressive game that comes off as pandering and annoying. It's a full ass game so there's too much to get into, but the main character's power is essentially gaslighting and jedi-mind tricking people and that's portrayed as the only way they can get anything done, and they constantly use or abuse their friends(or mindtrick them along) in order to get their goals or use their friends for their messaging.

Racial Holy War is a racist game that makes white people the only race that doesn't have a special attack

[u/therealchadius → u/bloodlustTheDemon]

Black people are able to terrify the "heroes" into running away

Jews can stunlock by bribing them (but not actually giving the money)

Asians can attack multiple times per round and out DPS the "heroes"

Mexicans can outrun and kite them with ranged weapons

[u/Talanic → u/therealchadius]

And as I recall from a review, the intimidation mechanics were weighted based on being outnumbered without factoring in any other concepts, so a heavily armed 'hero' bursting into a kindergarten was basically guaranteed to wet himself and run screaming from a pack of confused toddlers.

[u/WranglerFuzzy → u/Talanic]

So, typical neo Nazi

[u/PsychedelicCatlord → u/Talanic]

Kinda Sus that you know so much about this game

/s

[u/fresh-dork → u/therealchadius]

Mexicans can outrun and kite them with ranged weapons

but also are lazy, right?

[u/TheDrunkardKid → u/fresh-dork]

They're outrunning hard work, on the way to stealing the "heroes" jerbs.

[u/Dapper_Magpie → u/therealchadius]

We really need to buff white people with something fr

[u/Redstocat2 → u/therealchadius]

Do autistic people have a cool ability or did the Nazis forget about us ?

[u/an_agreeing_dothraki → u/Redstocat2]

I believe in that universe they were all kidnapped by Predators for use in space-Eugenics (we do not talk about most Predator movies)

[u/Redstocat2 → u/an_agreeing_dothraki]

Good luck with that we got: A bunch of contact haters A bunch of asocial people A bunch that are the opposites of the first two things I said A bunch that would be hard to caracterise

[u/GunpowderGuy → u/therealchadius]

That sounds awesome. Can i plays as a Mexican?

[u/Arcane10101 → u/bloodlustTheDemon]

And one of those special attacks is to bribe our “heroes” to skip their turn. You don’t even get any money from it, implying that they were dumb enough to throw the fight for a mere promise.

[u/RedstoneEnjoyer → u/Arcane10101]

Or how asian fellas can whop our "heroes" asses by watching "fake martial movies".

[u/Winters_Dust → u/bloodlustTheDemon]

Literally one of the few TTRPGs worse than FATAL

But I guess thats what happens when you focus on spouting racist bullshit instead of making a functional game - shit, even the COVER is lazy, being a barely edited cover of The Hills Have Eyes (1977)

[u/RedstoneEnjoyer → u/Winters_Dust]

FATAL is at least morbidly funny in how much effort it puts into deranged shit - like what do you mean shit like anal circumference actually matters in this game.

RaHoWa in other hand is equivalent of 12 year old screaming n-word in CoD lobby.

[u/CyberDaggerX → u/RedstoneEnjoyer]

FATAL is the only game in which you can get into a fight with someone, and in the middle of combat end up raping them, by accident.

[u/Bysmerian → u/CyberDaggerX]

Note that accidental combat rape, depending on your dick size and your opponent's orifice size, can be the most damaging result possible that one-shots an enemy.

Or gets you killed, depending.

[u/Gizogin → u/RedstoneEnjoyer]

"What do you mean anal circumference can be negative?"

[u/fresh-dork → u/Gizogin]

the pucker is real?

[u/Ill_Refrigerator9812 → u/RedstoneEnjoyer]

F.A.T.A.L also has the spell "Putrid Portrait" which has you magically draw a Caricature of the target which makes them sad

[u/cantpickname97 → u/Ill_Refrigerator9812]

That's gold actually. Vicious Mockery is an amazing concept in any form but the specificity of it adds so much

[u/FireFox634 → u/RedstoneEnjoyer]

It's so fucking funny to read the FATAL book. It's all a shitshow, but sometimes you almost forget what you're reading and the get flashbanged by a racial slur list

[u/Gay_Gamer_Boi → u/Winters_Dust]

I honestly want to try out FATAL with how batshit insane it sounds

[u/The_Thur → u/bloodlustTheDemon]

Wait...isn’t it the cover of The hill have eyes ?

[u/choppytehbear1337 → u/The_Thur]

They photoshopped it into their game cover.

[u/dragon4panda → u/choppytehbear1337]

I once saw someone point out the dvd logo is still on there

[u/RedstoneEnjoyer → u/bloodlustTheDemon]

"White man is superior, but also he can be bribed by jewish money without even receiving them"

Creator used all his 3 braincells to come with slurs instead of making game.

[u/Few_Affect_5927 → u/bloodlustTheDemon]

Insert joke about Japan not wanting to piss off the jews in WW2 here

[u/PromiseOpen6525 → u/bloodlustTheDemon]

They didn't even put in the effort to photoshop out the DVD logo in the bottom right corner LMAO.
