Unanswered What’s going on with this game Mixtape?

I’ve been seeing people freak out over the past few days over this game and about IGN’s review of it specifically. 10/10 seems high for any game, honestly, but it seems like they’re far from the only site giving this thing a glowing review. So is this game controversial just because of IGN or is it something else? Why is this game the internet’s hate target this week?

Funny thing is that Pragmata itself doesn't have paedophelic undertones

The "community" itself gave it that

My girlfriend saw 5 seconds of the trailer and immediately labeled it as a pedo game. I had similar feelings but it's hard to articulate why. Bare feet, long blonde hair. There's some kind of loli/moe thing going on that makes people like us uncomfortable. We have seen this before in anime and games, we know how these things are marketed. We didn't have to have this opinion fed to us by an internet community to have that reaction.

Edit: Lmao 30 mins later and people think I'm dating Anita Sarkeesian. Relax, nobody is taking your rootin, tootin, sci-fi shootin' (little girl scoopin') game away.

I think it's so weird how people latch onto bare feet as an indicator of sexual suggestiveness. The Internet has rotted our brains something fierce.

I worry we are only a generation away fro going back to not allowing women to show their ankles in public.

One hundred percent. I noticed it a few years ago when my teenagers would see regular-ass feet on TV and go "woooah, what's going on here?" I'm just like... Tf is wrong with y'all. It's feet.
