It’s apparently the Chinese and Russians. The former because America supports Ukraine and they hate America, and Russians veiling their approval of their country’s actions by saying they just don’t want political stances mixed in their games. Which in the case of This War of Mine at least, is political in itself.
Eh. I've seen this kind of thing before with a Vtuber named Coco. After she brought up Taiwan as a country, for like, five seconds, she ended up getting a gigantic hate campaign by Chinese nationalists against her for months and months and months. Wouldn't be surprised if this is a similar situation or just Russian bots.

Though I know you're not addressing me, for me personally, I'm fine with political themes, or discussing elements of a political nature. But I detest allegory, especially when I'm getting hit over the head with it. I would like to think most adults have grown up enough that they don't need to hear The Three Little Pigs, in order to understand the values of hard work and preparation.

I certainly share your dislike for poorly done and/or unsubtle allagory (even if I don't have a problem with allegory itself), but that's more a problem of poor storytelling. There's a number of people who have a dislike for anything "political" in games, period. And that's resulted in some bizzare complaints, ranging from Last of Us 2 being "poliical" because of Abby, or people praying that the BioShock movie isn't "woke" (guys, have you even played BioShock? Did the themes of anti-Randism go over you?)
Um...
Well, this is potentially embarassing, but I actually never saw that as the moral of the Three Little Pigs. Maybe in some versions, but I don't recall Pig 1 and Pig 2 working less hard than Pig 3. They just make the mistake of choosing shoddier building materials. Kind of like Little Red Riding Hood, never saw the story as having a moral outside "wolves are bad."
Need I remind you of this?

Some people are really that stupid, play games for the shallowest reasons and don't wanna think, or don't play anything at all, and wish they part of these fantasy "utopias". There is a reason the term misaimed fandom exists.
About that....
Little Red Riding Hood: The Summary and Symbols Explained
Red Riding Hood is one of the classic fairy tales ever written and has become known worldwide. However, the powerful symbolism behind the story is not as well known. Let's explore it along with a summary, a comparison of two different versions, and various theories and interpretations!

I'm pretty sure the point of making a house of straw or sticks over brick is that it's faster and easier to move the much lighter material and make it into a structure. The third pig, by putting in more effort now, despite it being more difficult, avoided a huge penalty later. It's the same with The Ant and the Grasshopper.

I find myself asking a similar question as the author there. Is it that they picked out the image at random, and didn't know the context, or that they DID know the context, and decided to use the image anyway?
Dunno which scenario is worse.
Huh. The more you know. 0_0
Going by what the author described, it's most likely the first option. The Tea Party are still assholes and can get right fucked with a barbed wire wrapped dildo.
I was 16 when I truly learned the meaning behind Red Riding Hood.

Having an actual war going on in your country is as reasonable an excuse for delaying a game as anyone's going to be able to give. Anyone who expects them to "just shut up and keep working" is invited to go fellate a running weedwhacker.STALKER 2 development put on hold, again, tho any reasonable person will agree it's for a very good reason.

(Writes down in list of insults)
Oh, but you just know there's dudes like that out there, possibly the same ones whose first reaction to the whole Activision-Blizzard affair was "But muh Diablo 4?"
I like the weedwhacker fellatio idea. I was going to suggest stuffing them in padded room to cool off, except it''s not so much padded as covered in running belt sanders.
In the version I read my toddler the first two only spend an afternoon building their houses, while the third spends about a week building his. He also contends with his brother pigs teasing and belittling him for spending so much time on it while they kick back and watch.
After all is said and done, the third pig helps theme build their own brick houses, even after they were assholes to him, because there’s also the theme of kindness and forgiveness.
