#Growing up game skin

On my next playthrough I was born as a boy and had a tomboy female best friend, and later met a cheerleader whose brother was sick and dying and who herself was anorexic or bulemic.

Very complicated characters and relationships. On that playthrough I also met a stoner punk rock girl who was adopted and seeking her birth parents even though she had a loving family already. In that same playthrough I met the one armed girl who aside from angering me with the political racial issues, was actually a very interesting character, a rebel, and a sorta “badass” sassy girl. My first playthrough, my love interest had autism or aspergers or something similar making them hate physical interaction and be very socially awkward. They have flaws and things that make you dislike them honestly – but that makes them more real. The characters are very well fleshed out – each one is unique and has an interesting personality. There’s good and bad people of every fucking race. They say reverse racism doesn’t exist, but yet here we are in a world with media, popculutre, video games, portraying white as “bad” “mean girls” “white mean girls” (direct quote there) and black as good, black as victim or hero, and white as a villain. Stop making me feel “bad” just for being born white. I can’t help being white anymore than you can help being whatever race you are. We get it OK? Blacks (and browns and asians and indigenous people and every other fucking whatever race you are) have it harder than white people. I am sick and tired of this political shit being shoved down my fucking throat. Let’s just STOP MAKING EVERYTHING ABOUT RACE?! OK?įucking face palm.

Really? I’m pretty sure at THAT AGE, that there would be plenty of black and brown and asian girls teasing her too because of her fake arm and reclusive antisocial behaivour, not just because of her SKIN COLOR. But nope, you decided that the only reason they’d tease her is because she’s black and they’re white. ALL reasons someone would get teased in middle and high school. In addition to one arm, she was a fucking recluse, she was obsessed with horror and cultish shit and avoided people. They had plenty of reason to tease/bully her – she had ONE ARM for fucks sake. Why not just “Mean girls” Why “Mean WHITE girls?” But I think there’s a better MORE POSITIVE way to encourage acceptance instead of have the black one armed girl complain about “mean white girls” – REALLY? you REALLY went there? As if to say all white girls are rich or racist or stuck up. I appreciate you wanting to make a game focused on inclusivity – lots of different races, a girl with one arm, lesbian and gay romance options – cool, awesome. But we get enough of that shit in real life. Yes, I’m sorry the majority of the world are complete fucking assholes and that they treat people of different races poorly. I am SICK AND TIRED of all this political bullshit. I’m in a real life biracial marriage, and hopefully someday will have real life children (biracial or maybe adopted maybe a completely different third race lol). I also have a bit of a problem with how “woke” this game is. Then she cuts it off almost into a buzzcut and – uhh lets just say she did not age well… at all. The childhood friend was kinda attractive, even as a teenager, long brown hair, and a charming smile. That cheerleader’s looking pretty good right now. Damn my wife is ugly as a mudboard fence, not gonna lie lol.

The pretty girl, was well prettier of course. I went with the childhood friend, it just felt like the right thing to do. One was a childhood tomboy friend and the other a preppy popular cheerleader I just recently met in highschool.

On my most recent playthrough I had two girls fighting for my love and attention. On subsequent playthroughs it’s always left up to fate (well fate and your choices on the previous playthrough.) Ok but back to “Growing Up” – In this latest child rearing simulation, you can either select your gender and parents at the beginning of your first playthrough or leave it up to fate.
