    These people played a game where every single time they said what they believed in they were mocked for it, and still came away thinking that it was based and neoliberalpilled.

      One of my favorite exchanges in the game is when you can identify yourself as an ultraliberal to Evrart. He simply doesn’t entertain the idea. He finds the concept so stupid he just insults you and moves on.

      evrart “You’re not an ultraliberal Harry. Get the fuck out of here.”

        He straight up just calls you a slur even, he calls you the R word, pretty sure its the only real world slur they bother with too outside of the flaubert misdirection.

          Cunoesse says a few slurs if I remember right, but they’re in Finnish. She says a few words that are sometimes used as slurs for gay people. I don’t remember if they’re censored though.

          Half of Finnish words are swears centering around the word vittu though

            Yeah the f slur’s used a lot in the game but it’s bleeped each time, and the jacket in the game that says “Piss [F-slur]” on the back has even been smudged so you can only read the first two letters of the second word

            Sacred and Terrible Air has a character in it who’s pretty clearly a parody of a stereotypical Finn. I think Kurvits has something against Finns.

      They’ve rationalized it in a “My enemies got mad and lost their temper therefore I am vindicated” kind of way.

      The fact that the game mocks their beliefs merely reinforces the enlightened status of those beliefs.
