That news more or less proves my point. Too late make most of the movies, and no ones would bother to see them, because they can go on YouTube and watch skits/parodies for free without wasting 95 minutes of their lives.Uh oh...not sure about that, they may not be out entirely just yet though...

There’s not enough money and blow in all the world for that.
There's a difference though. Katawa Shoujo was, as I said before, made with no budget and with no expectations of a return on investment, that's a passion project, and it was made 11 years ago when visual novels were rare in America and even more niche in general than they are today. This was made with a kickstarter and a patreon account and originally intended to get more money through merch with a huge portion of the budget dedicated to that and after things like HunniPop and Dream Daddy that made this genre come more into the mainstream.
Hey wait a minute, there's white people in the background. The game sucks now.
No people were mad at things before Tracer's butt pose became a trigger point. Here's Unit Lost covering the stuff.
That is a really bad video, its just him complaining about people complaining, no examples or anything. Now maybe there was this huge groundswell of people against the sexyness of the overwatch characters that I somehow missed, but I kinda doubt it. More likely it was people asking why the main two women characters at the time had rather similar body types, which is something 3d movies have an issue with as well and was in the general discussion around the time. Frozen caught attention for this also, where both female leads were pretty much different heads on the same body, MOBA's have had this issue also, I love smite but it is a prime offender in this until recently, with 2 exceptions.
I find that if the "jank" as you aptly put it doesn't detract from the experience, bemoaning it is an academic, sterile way to think about the game in question. Some things are best enhanced by their flaws.
Coughs
What sort of VNs have you played that don't have a defined protagonist? In most of them the protagonist is the MOST defined since you get to see his inner monologue which is multiple dozens of times more extensive than what you see of the supporting cast.
Dunno. Now, I agree that it should be unimportant, but people complain about not being able to relate to their fictional vampire magicians or their werewolf warriors or whatever if they aren't white guys. So, it's a thing.
I don't see many games touting the inclusion of white guys as a means of promoting their game's capacity for representation. It's always when someone's black or gay or something like that where you have people both demanding it and acting like it's a big deal to deliver it.
??????????? I think you somehow confused "white guy" with black people or women or transexuals or homosexual.
The Feminist Frequency tweets are completely off topic and have no bearing on what we are talking about in any regard. Also none of those tweets were from the time when the skeptic dip shits were making the videos about nontraversy, in fact, only one was even from before the game launch. It does sound like now idiots are trying to meme using the 'mortally challenged' line, which was always a stupid line, hell pretty much everything with the hologram was dumb and made no sense and even hurt the plot. Plus, there were only a couple good lines.
The mortally challenged line makes sense if you actually know the plot and don't base your opinion on trailers and other internet users who also base their opinions on trailers and have never finished either game.
I know the plot, I've beat both 2016 and Eternal multiple times. It doesn't make sense and is stupid because Haden is the ceo of the UAC and he ends up joining humanities fight in Eternal, to the point where Doom Guy trusts him in his DOOM FORTRESS, even after he put Doomguy in statis again. Yet his company keeps up the demon project after the ardent energy lenses were destroyed in 2016 and the gate to hell was dealt with.
It's a joke about how soulless corporations will co-opt progressive language to continue being shit. Some people, either not picking up on the joke or reacting to other people not picking up on the joke, found it might be in bad taste.
So, 8 people on Twitter. Mostly making posts with zero faves or retweets. The biggest one getting a grand total of 25 favs. And mostly saying the joke isn't funny, not being offended by it
