#dispatchgame — Public Fediverse posts

I actually bought Dispatch last weekend because it was erroneously tagged “LGBT+” on Steam while looking for games similar to Boyfriend Dungeon. The whole thing was a rabbit hole: turns out getting assigned “LGBT+” tags by users is a tactic that homophobic users use to sink games by giving them “adult” tags that don’t apply (since homophobes consider even the most innocuous LGBT+ related media to be hardcore pornography). After talking about it with a friend, we found out he bought Dispatch for the exact same reason as me, thinking it was LGBT+ narrative game similar to a dating sim. (Steam has since removed the tag for me, I tried to get a screenshot of it later.)

Turns out Dispatch was fun despite the fairly standard heterosexual romance plots, so I wasn’t too bothered.

All in all: interesting post.
