Then the dissonance enters: 'No, I'm not a hypocrite. That make me kind of a hypocrite, since I like this SO much?' That thought occurs. So this is the equivalent of those dating sims I've been railing against? Does. A dating simulator is basically the exact same thing, except for men. They need to gush about it, praise it, play it over and over, share it with their friends, because it's just so great and amazing! Why can't more men be like these guys? They are basically the embodiment of what progressives/feminists/SJWs want out of men.Īnd in comes the cognitive dissonance. The difference here comes to the fact that progressives, feminists, SJWs, etc will rail wildly against men liking a dating simulator, call it sexist, racist, misogynistic, the power of the patriarchy, it needs to be eradicated, destroyed, so we can all progress as society, or whatever other crazy thing they can come up with.Īnd damn, are they happy! Look at all these 'average' men! So hot! And they're paternal! And how muscular their bodies are, and how stylish they are, and how realistic it is, despite being some little piece of fluff fantasy. There's some value to that type of analysis. There's the shy, quiet demure girl, the really up front girl, etc, etc. You can criticize this stuff the same way feminists criticize say, a dating simulator game. They're all done in such a way that they fit into a very obvious niche or stereotype, kind of the same way you might categorize women by an obvious stereotype. Instead of showing more skin, their clothes are tailored perfectly to show off their physique. They're all highly sexualized, in masculine ways. The type of body you gain pretty much from being a gym bro, which if I recall, most of the progressive left hates. Virtually every other man has enough muscle that they're very clearly well defined. 99% of fat men look nothing remotely like that.

The 'overweight' man is basically a wall of muscle, basically a lumberjack. Most of those characters do nothing to actually represent what the average man is like. Every single negative thing that women talk about, is represented in Dream Daddy, but on the other foot. It causes massive cognitive dissonance in the progressive left. The author of the article nailed this absolutely perfectly. Someone linked the gender-swapped fanart and the controversy it inspired, for Dream Daddy, and that's pretty much how it would go if the entire game was gender-swapped.
