“It was really important to us, especially in the current political climate, to put this in the game.”

Blobun is an indie puzzle game currently making waves on social media thanks to a joke setting that eliminates its lesbian content. The problem? Blobun protagonist Stephanie is gay, so flipping the so-called “lesbian toggle” in the options menu removes her from the game and renders it totally unplayable.

    My point stands.

    Forum user: “there may be a bug with this option or I don’t understand what it means”

    Dev: “that’s because that’s how it works”

    Comment: “haha, that’s hilarious, gj dev”

    No, this is not hilarious (at least not remarkable). Not this particular thread (maybe there are others that are hilarious). Also not a good job if they actually presented it on their Twitter as a “found people who expected to play our game without lesbians” proof. It also doesn’t display the dev talent as it’s very easy to remove objects from a finished game.
