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):
Seconding the recommendation to touch grass. You sound like one of those insufferable pedants who joins a DnD game only to complain about “Colonialist Tropes”.
Repeat after me: doing bad things in a game, or creating a game that encourages the player to do bad things, is not itself inherently bad.
