Current Events > I looked up doki doki literature club on youtube to see what was scary about it

(+) Yeah! (+)

what I found was a girl named sayori who had hanged herself

it's not really supposed to scare you, it's supposed to disturb you. if your expecting like jumps scares, that's not what it is about.

is it worth playing now that I know the plot twist?

The plot twist you're looking at actually happens super early. There's quite a bit after that.

Game takes like 7 hours to 100% if you've got an average reading speed and is probably worth the time invested if you like psychological stuff. Give it a shot

I haven't played it but It just kinda sounds pretenious to me

"Haha you thought this was anime tits but actually it's all depressing mental health and suicide wooooooo"

It just seems on par with the stories I used to write when I was 11 and thought bucking a trend meant you were a genius despite not actually having anything new to say

That is not what the game is about at all.

I haven't played the game. That was literally the first thing I said. I don't hate it, nor do I have any idea how popular or unpopular it is.

Can't have it both ways, bub. Hating on something != you hate it, it means you're talking shit about it

For starters I disagree that criticizing something means you have to hate it. And its unhealthy if you think otherwise.

For two, I wasn't even talking shit about it. Since as I said, I haven't played it.

I didn't say you hated it, child. I even explained that "hating" in this context had nothing to do with your opinion of the game and everything to do with your attitude towards it.

Secondly, not having played it only makes pointlessly criticizing it worse, especially when you're factually and blatantly wrong about the core concepts of the game.

Please, if you can't keep up with the conversation don't bother butting in.

Disagree.

That's marketing 101, if your presentation and your fanbase make you look like something, then that's how you look.

If the latest Superman movie and the people who saw it came across like it contained graphic scenes of Superman raping Robin for 38 minutes. A lot of people would not want to see it.

Or a more base example, imagine someone arguing that you have to eat poo covered in snot before you can criticize it as a bad meal.

According to you they're not allowed to reach that conclusion because they might be wrong.

That's not how logic works. You can and indeed should critize things you haven't seen or done. Just make sure you're aware that's a perception of something you haven't experienced.

I mean, you're trying to talk about it, except your statement shows that you don't know anything about it. There's no discussion to be had.

I really wasn't trying to start a discussion about it, FireBolt just seems really eager to have an argument for some reason.

TC was asking what was scary about it and I was just giving my two cents from the way people talk about it.

Cool story bro, and you have some good points. Too bad none of them counter the whole "especially when you're factually and blatantly wrong about the core concepts of the game" thing.

To use your own analogy, it'd be like we were talking about the latest Superman movie and you were like

"Idk about that movie. I heard its got 38 minutes of Superman raping Robin. Think I'm gonna pass"

When there is clearly nothing like that in the movie. Regardless of the context, spreading misinformation about a piece of media cannot be considered a legitimate criticism of said piece of media, and as a result we have to discount your entire opinion.

Good thing I haven't done so then.

Dunno why you're so keen to argue but you're not going to get an argument from me dude.

I haven't played the game. Go find someone who hates it to argue with.

So what is the core concept of the game?

I'm not even trying to debate opinion with you, which is what makes this hilarious. I'm just trying to get you to admit that you've posted factually wrong information in a misleading manner. You just keep saying "But I've not played it" like somehow that is gonna change what you've posted lol

Hard to discuss it without getting super spoilery tbh. The best I can do is that its about the bleakness of facing an extremely harsh reality and the extremes someone might go to to get away from that reality.

game sounds terrible to me. no offense to anyone who likes it

Unfair is racist and xenophobic so of course he'd be ignorant and spread misinformation about a "foreign game".

Except this game was made here by a here person. Here being the Americas
