Steam, lemmy and reddit are currently creaming themselves over a game which devs makes multiple really cringe “jokes” about slavery and exploitation. Read the steam page descriptions.
Those “pals” are clearly antropomorphised creatures being dogwhistle for humans. And if you read the game reviews, even the g*mers are not lost on that fact (just they love that):
Before I realised it was a video game I genuinely thought “palworld” was the latest frenworld baby speak nazi ban evasion sub.
Honestly I’m instantly highly suspicious of any concept that uses infantilised terminology or symbology to describe itself. It’s something that either weird 4chan nazis or their unwitting sympathisers do.
Read the reviews on steam, it essentially is.
