i got in a fight with a small-time dev when they implemented marriages in a rogue like and allowed child marriages but not gay or interracial marriages

long story short the community exploded and he went full nazi on twitter and now the reviews are actually more positive but from 4chan weirdos calling child marriages based

At this point it's "unmoderated comments section" moment. Pretty much all public spaces are infested with this stuff now.

did they literally just imply that adding same sex marriages that the user has to initiate is the same as living under nazis?

My grandparents survived the nazis, my parents endured communism, I had to live through religious oppression since the age of 10, and now some spoiled brats think bend my knee to their rainbow flag, or else they'll type some words.

Not a great article. While it was mostly objective about the situation, it did not quote anyone but the developer, giving him complete control over the narrative, and links to many other articles about “rejecting wokeism”.

Yes. That dev is changing the WORLD by fighting against all the woke jealous stupid libs who think you shouldn't be able to marry a child.

Smh. I'm so sick of these straight white dude Nazis acting like they are fighting thousands of years of oppression.

This was in 2016. But there was a indie game from a small dev in a European country that allowed backers to name NPCs, and there were some racist names. I called that out in my review, and the Dev went, "It's not racist here in my country."

That led to a back and forth on the Steam forum which I got banned. Then I shared it on Reddit, but was stupid to use the same steam name as my twitter name and got a lot of toxic shit.

I changed my steam name and tossed my twitter account, so no idea what happened, nor do I remember the game.

Not sure if this is Crusader Kings or not

As of CK3, same sex marriages are allowed with a game setting, and I know same sex affairs were a thing in CK2. Enabling same sex marriages will disable achievements and at first I thought it was about historical accuracy, but it's actually because it trivializes inheritance management.

No same sex marriages because of historical accuracy, but of course a bear married to a horse could rule the Holy Roman Empire.

You had to both have silly mode turned on and pretty aggressively exploit some coding oversights to make that happen, though.
